K2 Recon 130 LV Ski Boots 2023

SEARCH AND DESTROY.

The 22/23 K2 Recon 130 LV is a high performance boot for skiers with narrow feet. For a 130 flex boot the liner has a more cushioned feel in comparison to some other 130 flex boots, but it's still precise in all the right places so you can drive skis efficiently. The the boot is incredibly responsive, has good rebound and is going to allow you to push skis as hard as you want to. This is definitely one of the lighterweight downhill boots in the 130 flex category, and that lighter weight feel makes it like you're more connected to the ski in a way. Powerful, responsive and precise. More experienced skiers will appreciate the performance this boot offers. 

How's the fit? The Recon 130 LV is precise in the heel and forefoot, but not aggressive. Instep is average for a LV fit. After the liner and shell are molded small pressure points will come out of the shell. Width feels snug, like an LV, but you'll probably notice more contact as opposed to pressure since the liner is more cushioned and the shell is thin. Length feels short when boot is new, not enough to size up.
