The Louis Garneau Granite MTB Shoes ($159USD) sits right in the middle of their mountain shoe lineup. It features the L4 Boa system covering 2 of 3 strap points, the third being velcro. The Boa system works best, ATMO, when it’s able to cross over like laces rather than being a glorified replacement for velcro. It distributes the pressure in more natural feeling manner.
