Choose between two different lacing system options, BOA and classic lace up. BOA is quick and easy to adjust whilst classic lace up lets you customise the fit by changing the lace up pattern.

Who Is The K2 Rosko For?

Anyone will have fun with the Rosko on your feet, its soft flex is great for beginners as it’s more forgiving whilst an experienced boarders can enjoy a looser surf-like feeling. If you want to explore the whole mountain without breaking the bank the Rosko boot is the perfect option.

Shell & Outsole

The Rosko boot shell features flex zones around the ankle to support the natural flex of your ankle. Flex zones prevent the boot distorting, retaining the shape over time. Heel lift is a big no no, thanks to the flex zones around the ankle heel lift is reduced.

Tough, grippy and flexible EVA outsole creates a durable sole that feels lightweight and absorbs vibrations. Phy-Lite outside provides a uniform flex that feel comfortable walking around resort and riding on the mountain.

Adjust the shell with either a classic lace up or the H4 coiler BOA fit system. Each system has its own perks, but the BOA is probably easiest and quickest to adjust even when wearing gloves. H4 coiler BOA system provides great heel hold for a secure fit with quick response.

Liner

Simplicity is key with the Rosko liner; its no-frills approach gives you a liner that is easy to use and feels comfortable from first to last lift. Intuition Comfort Foam naturally moulds around the contours of your foot, providing support and a custom fit. If you don’t want to wait for a custom fit the liner is heat mouldable, just head down to your local board shop.

This liner overall is soft therefor K2 have added J-Bars internal and externally, increasing support around your ankle and adding heel hold. If the liner wasn’t enough comfort for you the Rosko features a Die Cut EVA Footbed. This tough EVA layer adds cushioning whilst providing support. The combination of the liner and footbed maximises cushioning and creates a premium fit.

Roundup

The Rosko boot sits at the lower end of the budget scale, yet it delivers performance on the slopes to match the top end boots. Packed with quality materials that provide support and comfort, the Rosko will give you confidence on a wide range of terrain.

Inspired by freestyle boots the Rosko has a softer flex overall, ideal for beginners and intermediate boarders. Choose between a classic lace boot or a BOA, which ever tickles your fancy. Both options allow you to easily adjust the tightness of the boot to suit your needs.
