I switched to this show from a shoe with a lower effective heel height due to poor ankle mobility. I immediately found this shoe to be extremely supportive and stable. The BOA lacing system allows for a more uniform, snug fit, but I almost would prefer a dual-strap system in addition or in place of the BOA system to allow for a more customized fit on the foot. But, like I said, I switched due to the effective heel height and positive reviews I read prior to purchase. I have not been disappointed. I don't ever anticipate switching to a different shoe.
