Taro Tamai Snowsurfer BOA Snowboard Boot - 2022 - Women's

Seeing as how the K2 Taro Tamai Snowsurfer Boa Boot emphasizes freedom and flexibility for arcing beautiful turns and gliding effortlessly across deep powder, we won't lace up anything else when we want to do some serious soulboarding. Designed with extensive input from the legendary Japanese rider and shaper it's named after, we find this boot is best for darting between trees, ripping across open bowls, and slashing hidden stashes.

Instead of being aggressively stiff like other high-end freeride boots, these boots maximize mobility with an articulating cuff shell and softer flex. To prevent our feet from freezing when fanning powder from morning to sun-down, the Spaceheater Pro liner reflects heat back tor added warmth without extra bulk. The H4 Focus Boa closure provides two dials for independently tightening the upper and lower zones, allowing us to fine-tune the fit to our liking. And to ensure plentiful traction during hikes and out-of-bounds exploration, the Vibram RollSole sole features rugged traction that grips across icy snow and steep terrain.
