A shoe with 2 or 3 Velcro straps offers excellent adjustability and on-bike adjustability and a low price, but obviously can't be replaced if the Velcro wears out over time. BOA dials are easier to adjust on the bike and are replaceable... but cost a bit more due to the BOA brand charging a premium. Price aside, it's BOA FTW for me.
