Convincing women's freeride ski boots made of TPU with flex index 115, walking mechanism and good weight.
The K2 Mindbender 115 W is a women's freeride boot with top marks. It weighs in at 1640 grams (for size 26.5), yet is made entirely of TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane). Polyurethane is the most popular material for ski boots as it offers a super progressive flex, is extremely durable and can be adapted to different feet with relative lightness (boot fitting). With a last width of 98 millimetres, the boot is safely on the more compact side. However, thanks to the thermo-adjustable Powerlite shell and the thermo-moldable PrecisionFit Pro Tour inner shoe, it can also be adapted to slightly wider feet. The Mindbender 115 W is relatively soft at room temperature. But be careful, don't be misled when trying them on in the store, the TPU material becomes significantly harder in cold temperatures in the snow. You can go on tours with this boot. The walking mechanism is efficient and the shaft rotation of 50 degrees is usually sufficient. You will certainly feel the slightly higher weight on the ascent. Nevertheless, with enough stamina and strength in your calves and thighs, extended tours are also possible. The advantages of the Mindbender 115 W certainly come into their own when you switch the boot back to downhill mode. Precise, stable, with a pleasantly progressive flex and solid damping, it offers super ski control. Just like an alpine boot, but with less weight. Certainly one of the best 50/50 boots and perfect for sporty freeriders and freetourers. The right shoe for wide freetouring or freeride skis.
