![]() As far as the fit relative to other adidas shoes goes, my only current point of comparison is with the previously reviewed adidas Tour360 22 BOA. Neither the BOA nor the suckers (laces) version of the CODECHAOS is available in wide sizes so I can’t rant about a pro-lace bias. I’ve definitely experienced that and, while I’ve never considered it an issue, I don’t recall having to tighten the CODECHAOS. Some BOA users grumble about having to retighten over the course of a round. The L6 is micro-adjustable for a precise fit but, unlike the Li2 dial used in the Tour360 22 BOA, it doesn’t offer turn/click to loosen functionality. The L6 is the most commonly used dial in the golf shoe world, largely because of its low-profile design. ![]() The adidas CODECHAOS 22 leverages BOA’s L6 dial paired with a TX4 textile lace (not the kind of lace that’s for suckers). I’m not sure how widely known it is but a variety of different closure mechanisms exist within the BOA ecosystem. No need to overthink it.įootJoy-same goes for you. Hey, addias, there’s no rule (at least none I’m aware of) that says BOA colorways have to be different. As it happens, I wear a fair amount of navy so the Cloud White/Crew Navy/Crystal White colorway is fine for me but I suspect most would prefer the white-on-white option available in the laced version. It gives the shoe a more streamlined look, though I suspect some will still have a problem with it.Īs is typical, BOA users are limited to fewer colorways and while most of them aren’t stuff I’d choose anyway, I definitely prefer the black-on-black look of the non-BOA design. ![]() Unlike most BOA designs, the flap system is hidden under a secondary zipper closure. Talk about a lack of style (and function) … Think about it like this: BOA Fit System works a bit like your belt (assuming you wear it properly) whereas traditional laces are more like what your belt would be if you only ran it through the front loops of your pants. While the aesthetics aren’t for everyone, the flap works in conjunction with the BOA Fit System to secure the shoe (and, by extension, your foot) more evenly. Like most tech-driven BOA designs, the adidas CODECHAOS 22 BOA features one of those over-the-top wrap-around flaps that I suspect is a good bit of the reason why so many have an issue with the BOA-enabled deigns. I hate that I have to write this section but, based on the feedback to previous golf shoe reviews, I’ve learned it’s basically impossible to avoid the style discussion. The BOA version is available in three colorways while the lace version is offered in seven.įor now, the retail price is holding at $200 while the standard (laced) version has been discounted to $128 (originally $160). You also get a molded EVA sockliner if you’re into that sort of thing. ![]()
