It all starts with K2’s This Grips! outsole – two different densities of rubber are strategically placed to ensure the best possible grip for the parking lot and the boot pack. A full-EVA midsole is backed with K2’s impact-resistant Harshmellow material, helping to reduce vibration and mellow out the harshest of landings. Less vibration of the ankle means that your feet feel comfortable and fresh all day long. Inside, K2’s multi-density Control Foam liner features heat-moldable foam from Intuition. As an industry leader, Intuition foam is lightweight, durable, warm, and has an excellent memory – meaning that it molds to the shape of your foot and stays that way. This is wrapped in K2’s 3-point harness – snuggly holding your ankle in place for stability and reducing heel lift for ultimate board control.
K2’s patented Endo Construction keeps this snowboard boot extremely lightweight. Replacing a traditional heel counter of the boot with an injected poly material allows us to change the flex and rebound of the Hanford without adding extra weight. Endo construction helps retain the boot’s flex over its lifetime and adds an extra layer of durability.
A dual-zone BOA Fit System allows users to adjust the upper and lower of the snowboard boot independently of each other, fitting more foot shapes than a standard single-BOA boot normally would. Lastly, the Hanford sports a lace cover to keep your laces safe from the edge of your board and whatever else might come into play.
