squidwardzAny one have experience with K2/Salomon Boa boots? I kind of wanna buy some but don't know how they would hold up in the park?

KilaTsunamiThe boa part is fine, but K2 boots were crap quality last year. Google “K2 ski boots broken” See for yourself lol

tomPietrowskiYeah we did have some boots break and that sucked!! But look closely and most were older. We have made a lot of progress in improving the quality of both product and materials used and we are now at a place where our breakage rate is low. Is it zero no but no boot has a zero breakage rate. We are injecting plastics which have such a high rate of variables some breaks will always occur. But the boots are working well and we are stoked to show you what we have been working on with skiers like Max Hitzig and Mannon. You are going to see some really rad boots over the next year!!
partyandBShear me out:
1 boot 2 boas
-liner goes in
-an interior boa that spirals clockwise through the back and bottom of shell and pulls your foot to the shell
- exterior boa spirals counterclockwise through the entire boot to create a tight fit throughout
-??????
-profits
ur welcome
tomPietrowskiFully with you! I actually want to do this on our Fl3X/Full Tilt. It would be rad to pull the foot back. There are a few things we are working on before this but hopefully one day! It makes complete sense.
partyandBSshow the executives at tubberware or whoever the fuck is the k2 parent company my reply. they can’t in their right minds deny profits. trust me. i went to college.
tomPietrowskiHaha I kind of wish it was those owners still, I could do with some new tuperwear and some free sharpies
PartyBullshiitHave you guys started selling the new intuition wrap liners with the boa as a separate piece yet? Can’t seem to find it on the site.
