K2 Orton Boots 25/26 – First Look

Power meets flow in one boot.

The 2025/26 K2 Orton boots are designed for riders who want serious control but still want to move freely. With a firm flex and a refined fit system, they dig hard when you carve or charge — but still let you tweak or catch air without feeling locked in. Add comfort features that keep you warm, dry, and supported all day, and you’ve got a boot that can handle park, side country, or groomer laps with equal promise.

The Snowboard International First Thoughts are back for another season of in-depth gear reviews, giving you the lowdown on the best snowboard gear for winter 25/26. This time around, the team spent two weeks up in Åre, Sweden, putting the latest kit to the test: five riders, three videographers, and one epic resort.
