The K2 Mindbender 130 LV is truly a do it all boot that offers out of the box comfort. I knew when I first tried these on that they were going to treat my feet well. Even after the "break in" period my feet felt comfortable, warm, and locked in.

These boots feature 4 buckles, a power strap, and a large "walk mode" lever that makes it easy to switch between walk mode and ski mode, providing 50 degree range of motion. The liners are heat moldable, so you can dial in your fit. Tech fittings let you use these boots in virtually any binding from standard alpine to tech AT bindings.

I used these boots everywhere from the resort to big backcountry days. While these boots offer supreme comfort and fit in a lightweight package, there are some drawbacks I encountered. My biggest issue with this boot was durability. Over the course of a season, I had a few components fail and the liners started to wear down. While K2 does have a great warranty program, the durability issues were still an inconvenience. I would not recommend these to someone that is really hard on their gear like I am. But for the majority of skiers, these boots will be amazing. I did find the flex to be a bit soft, especially for a 130 flex, but the flex pattern was pleasantly smooth and consistent.
