Beautiful, well-designed boots

K2 Darko Snowboard Boots
I'm in between a beginner and intermediate. I've been mostly renting, and when I was ready to invest in owning my own pair of boots, I did A LOT of research. I decided on these, and ended up choosing Tactics because of their EZ Return. I purchased two sizes -- 10.5 and 11 -- and will be returning the smaller pair. While they're probably true to size (I usually wear 10.5 with most brands), they're too snug for me even with thin socks on. Granted, all boots will need to be broken in, and my right foot is slightly longer than my left. Size 11 was a perfect snug while wearing medium merino wool snowboard socks. Hopefully the boots will hug my feet even better after I break them in when I go to Rusutsu, Hokkaido, in Feb. I loved that they use regular laces on the other wise. Tedious, but can easily be replaced. The BOA for the inside is fantastic, and even if that breaks, you can still tighten the boots with the outside laces. I do wish these came in other colors/designs, but only because my pants are black and my jacket is black/yellow. lol

K2 Darko Snowboard Boots
I mainly ride park and these boots are perfect for that but when i decide to go off the groomers and ride pow, these boots hold they're own and give me the support needed for that. 10/10, best boot I've ever owned.

Unfortunately, due to our dealer agreement, we are unable to ship certain brands out of the US. K2 is one of those brands. If you have a friend here in the US, we could always ship to them and they could ship the package to you, if not, you can always use a forwarding company.
