check out Korkers boots with BOAs. They were my first introduction to BOA, and while they worked really well, there was a limitation.

Korkers are like hiking boots with metal carbide studs on the bottom of the soles in are used by surf casters to perch on slimy slippery rocks in the surf line when targeting striped bass. Miraculously, they function perfectly in the saltwater and sand environment… to a point. I did once fish for an extended period of time on a sandy beach and that BOA packed solid with sand, and I had to use a screwdriver to open it up and empty it. Still, I have almost 0 mechanical ability and was able to do that. I was also able to replace one on my girlfriend‘s shoe after one of my spokes, severed it off
