Back for another season, the K2 Orton has done precisely what we set it out to do; redefined the crossover of the freeride/freestyle snowboard boot space. Tested and vetted by K2 Team Rider Sage Kotsenburg, he pushed prototypes to their limits - riding lines in Alaska, going huge in the Jackson backcountry, and treating the entirety of Brighton Resort like a terrain park.
The Orton is absolutely packed with tech. It starts with a foundation of a zonal closure system and articulating cuff to reduce shell distortion and provide consistent heel hold. The shell lacing features the H4/M3 Zonal BOA Fit System with TX3 BOA Laces. The upper shell lacing is powered by an H4 Coiler BOA dial, and the lower shell lacing is controlled by an M3 BOA dial, allowing the rider to independently control the upper and lower zones of the boot for the perfect fit.
The exterior uses bulletproof HDR Premium Synthetic materials - this helps to resist abrasion and makes for a longer-lasting snowboard boot. Inside, our Intuition Pro Foam 3D Liner can be heat molded to your foot and ankle's exact shape and size. We've added our heat reflective SpaceHeater material to the boot to help keep your feet warm and dry.
Underfoot, K2's all-new ultra-rugged Vibram V5 Outsole provides industry-leading traction and durability in all conditions and terrain. This Vibram rubber compound comprises at least 30% recycled rubber. Better grip, better for the environment. The V5 rubber outsole is wrapped around a midsole made up of a traditional EVA and K2's proprietary Harshmellow material - helping to absorb impact, increase damping, and provide a "quieter" feel while snowboarding.
- H4/M3 Coiler 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.
- 3-Point Harness Liner Lacing - A traditional liner harness with a pull lace and three contact points hugs the ankle and provides additional support.
- Intuition Pro Foam 3D Liner with SpaceHeater - A premium and heat-moldable liner built with high-density Intuition foam and lined with breathable heat-reflective SpaceHeater technology for superior warmth and comfort.
- Vibram V5 Outsole with Harshmellow - Our premium rubber compound provides industry-leading durability and grip and is integrated with Harshmellow foam to absorb chatter and vibration.
- 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.
- Articulating Upper Cuff with HDR Premium Synthetics - Independent upper cuff articulation delivers a distortion-free flex while HDR Synthetics improve overall shell durability.
