Why I recommend these
Expert verdict
The K2 Mindbender 130 LV Ski Boots are a game-changer for those who love both resort skiing and backcountry adventures. With a stiff 130 flex, these boots offer incredible power transfer, making them perfect for aggressive skiers. The heat-moldable Powerlite shell ensures a snug, customized fit, while the Friction Free Cuff Pivot allows for smooth movement. What really sets these boots apart is the Powerlock Spyne, which lets you switch to walk mode with ease, offering a 50-degree range of motion for uphill climbs. However, some users have mentioned durability concerns over time. Overall, these boots are a fantastic choice for those seeking versatility and performance in one package.

- A true low volume fit with great heel hold and a comfortable fit all around.
- Great both in the resort and the backcountry.
- Light weight and easy to take on and off.
- Not the most durable boots.
- Soft for a 130 flex boot.
- This boot is stiff, and responsive, without being demanding.
- Lateral stiffness gives this boot a Downhill prowess despite its light weight.
- Tours beautifully. Powerlite plastic is just that; powerful and light.
- LV (Low Volume) isn't quite sincere. This is the most generous "Low Volume" I've ever put on my foot
- When removing the boot, the liner tends to come out with the foot, especially after a long day of touring.
