5th day using them. Has this happened to anyone? Also why should I do? The screw snapped in half and is still in the boot.

Go back to the place you bought them and show them. A good shop will swap them and deal with the warranty. You clearly got a defective boot.

K2 fucked up unless you went at these with a hammer.

Yup! That’s a warranty replacement if it just happened while skiing.

Do you think they will replace the whole boot or just the mechanism?

If they can replace the walk mode they’ll do that, if not it’ll be the boot

No both the top and bottom screw snapped in half. I wasnt doing anything crazy either. I got off the lift and my boot felt really loose and I look down and the lever is on the ground.

Wtf. I’m no metallurgist so I won’t speculate too much, but bad batch of screws maybe.
