K2’ “Built for Comfort” line prioritizes keeping you in your ski boots all day. These high-volume boots are built for high-volume feet, or for anyone else who appreciates a little extra wiggle room for their toes. The idea is a pair of boots that you aren’t dying to take off before the bar or on your way to the car, but that still offer enough on-slope resilience to wear day to day.
If you’ve never been happy in downsized rental boots and worry about the implications of tight performance models, K2 offers a compelling alternative. These boots come equipped with a fully furnished feature set including hands free entry, a generous walk mode, and textured soles for your more treacherous resortside treks.
While the BFC lineup has a range of stiffnesses from beginner to advanced levels, it’s worth keeping in mind you exchange performance for luxury. The hard truth is that if you want a boot that can ski harder, that boot by nature will be much tighter. But in our case that might not be a bad thing. These boots are fully in the spirit of taking it easy, and not letting too much fun get in the way of your good time.
Notable Features
Hands Free Entry: Dual overlap in the neck of the boot allows for easier time getting them on and off. Theoretically without use of your hands.
Energy Interlock: The spine and cuff of the boot are welded together, allowing for a more forgiving progressive flex pattern.
