It started with an idea. K2 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 staff, a team of athletes, backcountry guides, and film crews. 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, K2 chose V5 Vibram® rubber outside. For ultimate damping and vibration absorption, they chose a Harshmallow™ injected midsole and Harshmallow™ Pro insole. For the best possible fit, K2 chose the 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.
