Meet the Recon 130 LV Gripwalk 20/21 from K2. This men’s ski boot is designed to deliver a precise, responsive feel on the slopes, pairing a streamlined shell with a Gripwalk sole that makes walking on snow and ice more secure.
Thanks to its 98 mm last and low-volume profile, the Recon 130 LV wraps closely around narrower feet, translating every subtle movement into direct ski control. The high flex rating of 130 provides a firm rebound when you push off, giving experienced skiers the power and stability they need during fast, aggressive turns.

Toss in a moldable shell, cantable outsoles, Fastfit entry – and the list goes on, but we’re running out of space. Buy it. Ski it. Believe the hype – this is the boot you need.
