How does the Men’s Tallac Mid BOA® '24 fit?
The Men’s Tallac Mid BOA® ‘24 is designed with a medium-volume fit to accommodate an average-volume foot. However, please be aware that user feedback and brand guidance indicate that this specific 2024 model tends to run about a full size small. If you have a larger-volume foot, we recommend sizing up by at least half a size to ensure a comfortable experience. You can achieve a precise, micro-adjustable fit using the integrated BOA® Fit System, which allows you to easily customize the tension for a secure feel while riding.
