With a generous fit and a firm flex, these boots are a great option for larger and more aggressive skiers who happen to have a higher volume foot shape. With a BOA closure system and an array of features, this is a top-shelf boot with a good deal of comfort involved.

Why we like it:

We like the BOA system and the 120-flex rating. When that’s paired with a 103 mm forefoot last, this boot is going to fit a lot of skiers, both shape and ability-wise. We like that ski boots now come with this flex, and in this last, and with a BOA—that's a winning formula.

Who it's for:

This BFC 120 BOA is best for skiers who have some strength and power, and some extra volume in the forefoot and instep. It works great for skiers who value comfort and convenience without sacrificing performance.

Highlights:

BOA is the main story here as the closure system is easy to use and creates a strong sense of connection to the boot. The shell is also heat-moldable so you can get even more width out of it if needed. Thanks to K2’s ability to build a boot from the ground up, rather than based on a race mold, they can cater to the needs of the everyday skier with more creativity.

Things to consider:

Skiers with narrower feet or who are looking for an easier flex may want to look at a Recon or Mindbender.

Fit & sizing considerations:

The BOA can cinch it up while the shell can stretch to accommodate. This is a very versatile boot from a fit standpoint.
