Stiff and responsive, the Waive Snowboard Boot excels on backcountry ascents and descents
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"The Waive is my go-to boot when I’m earning my turns. The BOA-powered walk mode makes skinning so much easier, and then I can crank it tight for the ride down. The traditional laces give me that locked-in custom feel, and the Intuition liner molds perfectly to my foot. Add the Vibram sole for traction, and it’s hard to beat this boot for serious backcountry missions."
For riders chasing untouched lines far beyond the lifts, the K2 Waive Snowboard Boot brings the efficiency of ski-touring tech to the snowboard world. With a stiff flex and responsive design, this boot delivers powerful performance on the descent while offering comfort and mobility on the skin track.
The traditional lacing system locks us into a precise, custom fit, while K2’s BOA Fit System-powered walk mode quickly increases range of motion for efficient hiking and touring. Inside, the thermo-moldable Intuition Pro Foam liner conforms to our feet, enhanced by a heat-reflecting SpaceHeater and odor-resistant S’Cafe mesh for warmth and freshness. Vibram V5 outsoles with partially recycled rubber provide traction for bootpacks, and Harshmellow cushioning smooths out chatter when conditions get rough. From dawn patrol missions to technical freeride descents, the Waive boot is built to handle the demands of true backcountry exploration.
