2026 K2 HANFORD BOOT

The K2 Hanford snowboard boot took notes from the #1 boot in snowboarding and put its own spin on it.

It all starts with our This Grips!™ outsole - two different densities of rubber are strategically placed to ensure the best possible grip for the parking lot and the boot pack. A full-EVA midsole is backed with our impact-resistant Harshmellow™ material, helping to reduce vibration and mellow out the harshest of landings. Less vibration of the ankle means that your feet feel comfortable and fresh all day long. Inside, our multi-density Control Foam liner features heat-moldable foam from Intuition®. As an industry leader, Intuition® foam is lightweight, durable, warm, and has an excellent memory - meaning that it molds to the shape of your foot and stays that way. This is wrapped in our 3-point harness - snuggly holding your ankle in place for stability and reducing heel lift for ultimate board control.

Our patented Endo™ Construction keeps this snowboard boot extremely lightweight. Replacing a traditional heel counter of the boot with an injected poly material allows us to change the flex and rebound of the Hanford without adding extra weight. Endo™ construction helps retain the boot's flex over its lifetime and adds an extra layer of durability.

A dual-zone BOA® Fit System allows users to adjust the upper and lower of the snowboard boot independently of each other, fitting more foot shapes than a standard single-BOA® boot normally would. Lastly, we top it off with a lace cover to keep your laces safe from the edge of your board and whatever else might come into play.

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.

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.

Rubber Reinforced Articulating Upper Cuff with Endo™ 2.0:

Reinforced materials in high wear and flex zones extend the boot's life and deliver a distortion-free flex. At the same time, Endo™ 2.0 helps to retain boot flex and durability over the lifetime of the boot.

Internal & External J-Bars (Liner):

Adding J-Bars to a liner helps add structure and reduce heel lift.

Taking inspiration from modern skate footwear, our new cupsole outsole features a rounded heel for less drag while hiking, a wrapped arch for support and stability, & vibration damping Harshmellow™ in the heel and forefoot.
