https://xn--qck5b4ef.net/k2-waive/A backcountry boot developed specifically for splitboarding. The midsole uses a vibration-damping material that cuts weight while keeping it durable, topped with a grippy Vibram V5 outsole. A heel stabiliser keeps your heel aligned on the way up and adds stability on the way down.

Good
- ✓Purpose-built for splitboarding — designed for both the climb and the descent
- ✓Good grip from the Vibram V5 outsole
- ✓Vibration-damping material keeps it light
- ✓The heel stabiliser keeps your heel aligned while climbing
Not so good
- —Very specific in purpose — no real reason to pick it if you only ride resorts
- —Made in small numbers, so it sells out often
