The K2 Hanford snowboard boot was inspired by the #1 boot in snowboarding and gave it its own unique touch. It features a full-EVA midsole with our impact-resistant Harshmellow™ material, resulting in a smoother landing and less vibration. The 3-point harness securely holds the ankle for stability and reduces heel lift for maximum board control. With the dual-zone BOA® Fit System, the upper and lower parts of the boot can be adjusted separately to accommodate a wider range of foot shapes compared to a single-BOA® boot.
FLEX: 7/10
EXTERNAL LACING: H4/M3 Zonal BOA® Fit System - Impact resistant, durable, and performance-driven, the H4 BOA® Dial ejects on severe impact and is easily re-inserted into the boot. The H4 dial controls the upper shell lacing, and the M3 dial controls the lower shell lacing.
TX3 BOA® Lacing - A softer lace explicitly made for snowboard boots that provides a more even fit over the body of the boot shell versus a steel lace.
INTERNAL LACING: A traditional liner harness with a pull lace and three contact points hugs the ankle to provide additional support and unrivaled stability to help reduce fatigue.
LINING: Intuition® Control Foam 3D Liner - Heat moldable medium and high-density Intuition® foam forms to the exact shape of your leg, ankle, and foot for superior fit, warmth, and comfort.
SOLE: This Grips! Premium Rubber Outsole – A K2 exclusive built to offer the best possible performance at the lowest possible weight. An EVA midsole with Harshmellow™ pods makes this quiet underfoot, and a dual rubber compound provides unmatched grip for the parking lot and the boot pack.
Harshmellow™ – Harshmellow™ is a magical dampening system that replaces industry standard foam dampening materials. Harshmellow™ is strategically placed to dampen vibration underfoot to provide for a more “quiet” feel underfoot, reduce vibration from impact, and reduce fatigue while snowboarding.
