Great Snowboarding Boot

By Anonymous Ranked #373 - Snowboard Boots January 29, 2008

I was shopping around for boots for a while and came across this boot online. I had tried on the K2 T1 with the interior BOA and thought they were great: so what could be better than having two BOA's?!? When you first put them on they feel like heaven; they have great ankle support and they feel like they were made for your foot.
However, you tighten down the inside boa and then the outside boa and everything feels snug right? Well, it is. In fact I found that when I actually got out on the the mountain it really started to hurt my feet. My first instinct was that (like the previous reviewer) my feet were just too flat and I'd have to return them. But I soon realized that wasn't the case at all. The BOA's just work too well; it's TOO EASY to tighten them more than is really needed. I found that you just need to tighten them till you feel a little pressure on your feet and then stop. The BOA's don't have give like regular laces so you don't have to worry about overtightening and them loosening later. Plus the ease of the knobs let you adjust them with a twist. Getting in and out of then is a breeze as well. If you really want, you can loosen them up in between runs as it is just a pull of the knob. When you're ready, a few twists of the knobs and you're off and running again. The only downside is the price but you are paying for a quality boot.
