K2 Orton Snowboard Boot
An item from K2 Snowboarding
Overview
It started with an idea. K2's snowboard boot scientists approached K2 Snowboarding Team Rider Sage Kotsenburg with a new concept on snowboard boot construction - and the switch flipped, it was on. A first-of-it’s-kind construction comes from a one-piece rubber lower with integrated mesh. To boil it down, this means that the Orton will not only be waterproof, but also warm and dry, all day long. The one-piece-rubber lower is married with a dual-zone BOA® lacing system, making this a versatile boot, fitting feet of all shapes and sizes.
In the development of this boot, Sage spent over 100 days in this product, getting it 100% right. Atop of that, the Orton was tested by K2's staff, thier team of athletes, backcountry guides, and film crew. Thousands and thousands of hours went into setting a new standard with the Orton. Sage knows that the devil is in the details…and he’s detailed. For the best performance in the bootpack, we chose our V5 Vibram® rubber outside. For ultimate damping and vibration absorption, we chose our Harshmallow™ injected midsole and Harshmallow™ Pro insole. For the best possible fit, they chose a performance liner-lasting and a heat moldable tri-density Intuition® liner. To top it all off, a rip-stop asym lace-cover with a gaiter hook keeps all the snow out.
Features
-
3-Point Harness Liner 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.
-
Eco-Harshmellow™ Pro Insole:
Three separate compositions, Pro, Plus. and Base, now all incorporate K2’s proprietary Harshmellow™ damping into the layup of the footbed. The result is superior vibration absorbing and comfort for all-day excursions into the backcountry or hiking and riding around the resort.
-
Vibram® V5 Outsole with Eco-Harshmellow™:
A 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.
-
Endo™ 2.0 Construction:
A K2 Snowboarding exclusive, Endo™ Construction, allows us to alter a snowboard boot's flex, response, and rebound without adding extra materials (extra materials = excess weight). By replacing additional materials with an injected heel counter, adding an extra rebound is as easy as a formula change. In addition, it helps us to provide a more consistent flexing, longer-lasting snowboard boot.
-
Intuition® Pro Foam 3d Liner:
K2's most supportive liner features high-density Intuition® foam for added support without sacrificing comfort. This liner features internal and external J-Bars around the ankles.
