https://xn--qck5b4ef.net/k2-market/A K2 entry-level boot focused on warmth and comfort. It's at the cheaper end of the brand's line, so it's easy to reach for when you're buying your first setup. The liner is soft, and J-bars inside and out cover ankle support and heel hold. A notch at the instep reduces shell distortion while letting it flex forward smoothly.
