2020-2021 K2 Recon Pro

We've seen a lot of companies making lighter and lighter alpine boots over the past few years, but that category hadn't extended past the 130-flex realm. That changes for 20/21 with the introduction of the K2 Recon Pro — a lightweight boot with a stated flex of 140 and several unique features. Check out our First Look.

Cy Whitling reviews the Roxa R3 130 T.I. for Blister

2021-2022 Roxa R3 130 T.I.

by
The Roxa R3 130 was a pretty good AT boot, but we think the updated 19/20 version is a great one. If you’re looking for a boot that you can use inbounds and in the backcountry, the new R3 130 is worth a look.

2019-2020 Lange XT Free 130 LV

by
The previous Lange XT 130 Freetour was one of the best tech-binding-compatible AT ski boots we’ve used in terms of downhill performance, and Lange updated it this year. So how similar or different is the new Lange XT Free 130?
