K2 just released their new "built for comfort" boot line which I assume is the line of boots replacing Full Tilt?

I really hope its not though, surely they're releasing some more boots with the FT-style three piece shell

Phew. Would've been heartbreaking to see the old girls discontinued. Do you know when they're being released?

From what I've seen they will be rebranded K2 for a standard 22/23 release, which means you might start seeing trade show photos floating around in January.

The new BFC line is a new industrial design for the previous BFC line that K2 has had for a few years. These are most definitely not replacements for the FT line.

Built for Comfort. Dumb name but actually a really rad boot, if you need a higher volume boot. The new ones are so so much better than the old ones and they are our best selling range of boots. We sell 50% more BFC's then all full tilts put together :)
