Yeah it’s H3 dual BOA but they only have directions for the top BOA dial.. I can’t find directions for the bottom/side BOARepair Guides for the BOA® Fit System

Yeah it’s disengaged but there’s no hole or opening or nothing. I tried pulling it even more but it doesn’t come off..

Wow, yeah I found it.. thanks ..
These boots are weird. I inserted a screwdriver and the reel housing is not turning (yes, I made sure the system was disengaged). Not sure if it’s always this hard to replace BOA systems.
I contacted adidas support and they said they can’t help me.
Thanks for the replies

Why don't you try contacting Boa themselves? I'm sure they know more about the system than any of the manufacturers that license it.

Its easy to work on boas. You are quitting too easily my man. Get the knob off and see what kind of mess you have in there, you can fix it within 1 hour once you get that knob off and then you will feel like a pro.

Bought them in person at the Adidas store.. I got them for a really good price but yeah I might have to return them. I had to use them today and they work fine, but they’re really hard to put on and take off because the BOA is just stuck..

Adidas is having a sale? Or was it store-specific?

I think it was just at the store that i went to (Ontario Mills). I think it was the only pair that they had , so they were clearance + 40% off.. They’re $420 online but I got them for literally $100.. I also got some brand new Adidas Tactical ADV boots ($350 online) for less than $90.. but they feel kinda small so not sure if I’ll be keeping those

Mine had the wires all tangled and wound up inside the Boa dial. It is hard to take the dial apart but you have to grip it from the ridges by where it attaches to the boot. I had grip one of them with channellock pliers. now mine are working fine. I think a batch of boots got put together wrong.

What size are the tacticals? If they fit I’ll buy em from you, or scoop them up from the mall if you return.

Hey buddy,
Is there a chance you can post the pic of where it is. I imported these shoes from Europe to my country and there is no boot shop/adidas or boa support in my country. Only way is I fix these shoes.

can you show it please on your photo, where's the gap that should be pushed? I have the same problem on my Vans boots and I have no idea where to push.

where the screw driver is, that is too low. It is on the side of the dial. In that picture, it looks like you already have the dial off....if it is still stuck, it is because the wires are caught and you kinda have to yank pretty hard to get it out if that is the case. I've fixed a ton of these over the years.
