Soft Boot

In 1994, K2 introduced the world's first Softboot skate forever changing the way performance skates are designed and built. Our proprietary Softboot design allows us to design skates the same way all high end athletic footwear is designed. This construction wraps the foot with comfortable fit and smooth flex. Add on one of our light weight cuffs (link cuff page) and you have the perfect amount of support to go out and skate. If you want to get tech about it ... K2's Softboot designs incorporate breathable, comfortable, and flexible materials that fit and function like a second skin while substantially reducing overall weight. Our one-piece lasted boot footwear system fastened to the base and supported by an anatomical cuff sets us apart from every other skate brand. This patent protected design provides the best combination of comfort and performance for men, women and children no matter what their ability level.
