K2 RECON 120 BOA® - Men's Ski Boots 2024

BOA® on ski boots? Yep, you read that right. It’s the biggest advancement in skiing, let alone boot fitting in sixty years. You’ve seen this feature on snowboard boots, bike shoes, and even running shoes, so it’s about time we put our heads together with the minds at BOA® Fit System to bring something new to skiing, with a laser focus on performance. Harnessing the power of a BOA® Fit System, K2 engineers got to work delivering our most adjustable fit with performance-enhancing features. The Recon 120 BOA® boots boast a redesigned lower cuff, with an all-new shell, delivering a tighter toe seal. Say goodbye to all your boot-fitting woes, with the new Recon 120 BOA® . Its redesigned shell delivers a better “wrap,” and a more even pressure distribution across the foot. Gone are traditional pain hotspots caused by overtightened buckles, the Recon 120 BOA® boots are outfitted with a micro-adjustable fit, even pressure distribution and an unmatched heel hold. We’ve named this all-new boot last our MultiFit™️ last, ranging from 97mm -104mm. Fitting a wide range of feet right out of the box and eliminating the need for both a “Low Volume” and “Mid Volume” fit. There’s so much tech inside the Recon 120, it’s hard to know where to start. A heat-moldable liner provides the perfect balance between comfort and support. We’ve integrated internal and external J-Bars to ensure proper heel hold and made the toebox seamless, making the fitting process smooth as silk. Building on the success of boot board technology, we’ve added customizable heel inserts to be able to fine-tune the feel. The boot board inside the Recon 120 BOA® comes with a rigid and responsive heel insert, and this boot also ships with a softer, damper, Harshmellow™️ insert for more impact absorption.

Unmatched Lightweight Alpine Performance. Rigid, Powerful, Light, and Comfortable—we rethought everything about how an alpine boot should feel and ski and created the K2 Recon 120. By combining four different TPU's with an optimal shell wall thickness to construct our all-new Powerlight shell, we've engineered a boot designed for elite performance with the lowest possible weight. Stiffer PU is strategically placed where boot meets bindings and along the spine of the boot for immediate power transfer, and medium and softer PU surrounds the body of the foot and near the instep to dampen vibration for ease of entry. The shell is fully TPU heat moldable so you and your boot tech can dial in the fit to your specific foot features. The FastFit instep entry feature helps the boot slide off and on with ease. The result is one of the lightest performance ski boots on the market.
