HEAD features the BOA® Fit System for the new padel performance shoe

HEAD and BOA® present the first padel shoe featuring the BOA® Fit System. The new HEAD Motion Pro BOA is an innovative padel shoe that incorporates the scientifically proven BOA® PerformFit™ Wrap and dual dial Li2.

The HEAD Motion Pro BOA® will be officially launched on July 18th. The shoe has already been awarded BEST PADEL SHOE in the comfort and fit category at the Padel Racket Awards. These awards are organized by the AI2 Institute at the Polytechnic University of Valencia and the Testea Padel laboratory.

PerformFit™ Wrap Configuration

The BOA® Performance Fit Lab, established in 2018, has conducted over 2000 scientific tests and published three white papers that validate the performance benefits of the BOA® Fit System, specifically the application of the BOA® PerformFit™ Wrap.

The micro-adjustable BOA® PerformFit™ Wrap configurations are scientifically proven to enhance an athlete’s speed, agility, and endurance by wrapping over and conforming to the midfoot, delivering superior heel lock, enhanced connection to the midsole, and greater forefoot freedom.

With the PerformFit™ Wrap, padel athletes will experience the following scientifically proven improvements:

• Improved Stability: A reduction of up to 7% in ankle rotation velocity, resulting in enhanced stability and consistency.
• Efficient Energy Transfer: Improved connection to the midsole and enhanced heel hold by up to 3%, leading to optimized energy utilization.
• Explosive Direction Changes: Up to 9% more efficient change of direction, enabling rapid acceleration and deceleration.

BOA® Dial Li2

The L-series from the BOA® Fit System are meant for the agile athlete who needs meticulous adjustment capabilities for ultimate adaptability and overall performance.

The BOA® Li2 Dial is lightweight, lower tension, for low-cut footwear that demands precision like the new Head Motion Pro BOA. It is the same platform professional riders taking part in Le Tour du France, Il Giro o la Vuelta are using on their shoes. The Dual Dial allows bi-directional and differentiated fit adjustments for the instep and forefoot areas, delivering the precise, locked-in feel that athletes demand.

The main benefits of BOA® Dial Li2 are:

• Low-Profile - sleek and lightweight for performance without sacrificing power
• Durable - Unprecedented durability, built to withstand the conditions.
• Micro-adjustable - Fine-tune fit with incremental tightening and loosening.
• Unparalleled precision.
• Lifetime Guarantee - The BOA® Fit System is guaranteed for the lifetime of the product on which it is integrated.
