In any event, I have only had to deal with my feet, and not yours, obviously, but I haven't had a problem; if the pressure isn't showing the kind of uniformity that I need, I tighten partially, flex/arch my foot, which redistributes the slack, and then tighten the final two or three clicks.

As is always the case with shoes, mileage varies.

Not putting down the technology at all. Far from it. The popularity of BOA speaks for it's effectiveness.

I'm all ears and make it a point to try them on when I happen to see them in the LBS. I'll switch the moment I find one that works with EEE and high arches.
