It all starts with construction. A reinforced rubber toe is abrasion resistant and helps give that extra little bit of grip for the binding toe strap. The heel counter was engineered using K2's Endo™ 2.0 construction, a urethane heel counter that allows them to change the flex and rebound of the boot without adding extra materials. This extends the boot's lifespan and adds a layer of protection to guard against binding abrasion.

The K2 Holgate snowboard boot's lacing system comprises two BOA® Fit System reels. The exterior H4 Coiler BOA® Fit System reel helps to provide a stable and secure closure throughout the boot. The BOA® reel located on the lateral side of the shell controls the Conda™ liner lace system, giving you maximum control over the fit of your boot while keeping your heel locked to the bottom of the footbed for power transfer when you need it most.

Wrapping the foot, they've placed their most supportive liner, composed of multiple densities of heat-moldable Intuition® foam. This open-cell foam means that it can be re-molded time and time again to achieve the perfect fit throughout the boot's life. The liner is lined with a breathable and heat-reflecting Spaceheater™ material, keeping riders warm and dry all day long. And lastly, they've integrated a 95% post-consumer recycled coffee mesh from SCafe™ into the liner to help eliminate unwanted odor after a long day on the hill.

Underfoot, the midsole combines a lightweight and stable EVA and Harshmellow™, a proprietary technology that helps absorb impact, increase damping, and provide a more "quiet" feel while snowboarding.
