100 flex, 100mm last, BOA lower closure. The Hawx Prime 100 BOA covers the widest range of medium-volume feet at this price. The BOA H+i1 dial replaces the lower buckle — faster, more even pressure, adjustable with gloves on. Memory Fit heat-molds shell, cuff, and liner up to 6mm in the forefoot.

Compared to the Dalbello Cabrio MV 100, the Hawx is more precise in the lower foot thanks to BOA, while the Dalbello has a roomier 101mm fit and three-piece Cabrio flex. The Salomon S/PRO Delta BOA 100 GW is a wider-volume alternative at 102mm for feet on the wider side of medium.

Strengths

+BOA H+i1 lower closure — faster and more even than traditional buckles
