With a slightly more accessible flex and a mid-volume fit, the K2 Anthem 95 BOA ski boots are a prime choice for intermediate skiers looking to blend comfort and performance. These boots have a lot of features and goodies that’ll satisfy even the most demanding of boot shoppers.

Why we like it:

These boots are light, easy to ski, and feel very natural. The BOA closure system is an easy benefit to point to here, as it allows for micro-adjustments and a better wrap of the foot. This increases both fit and performance. We also like the heat-moldable shell and liner for ultimate customization.

Who it's for:

With a 95-flex rating, this isn’t the most powerful boot out there, so skiers in that moderate and intermediate range will benefit the most. This skier prioritizes all-day comfort and performance and wants something that fits well out of the box as well as having the ability to mold and conform to the foot.

Highlights:

We get a lot of highlights here, and the BOA closure system is a good one to focus on. This allows for an easy wrap and simple tightening and loosening of the lower shell. Gripwalk soles, a heat-moldable shell and liner, modular honeycomb boot boards with hard and soft inserts, and a dual-adjustable cuff alignment all contribute to the overall nature of the boot.

Things to consider:

Stronger skiers may align better with the 105 flex versus the 95, but the fit is mainly the same.

Fit & sizing considerations:

BOA enables the skier to shrink the last from 100 to a stated 97 by twisting the dial. This makes for a lot of different possibilities, starting wider and working narrower.
