you are not really comparing apples to apples here. I can replace shoe laces for a few dollars found in many stores, or out of the junk drawer in my garage. Velcro if not ideal for micro adjustments but ratchets have been pretty bomb proof on many cycling shoes for close to 30 years.
I do agree that the boa system is comfortable, especially with my weird feet. But I have a very low tolerance for failure with gear.
