This winter (2024-2025), professional shops across the country asked, "What products sold the best, sold well, and received the most praise?" The second installment of our survey asking professional shops for their honest opinions is "boots." Before the early reservation event for the new models for the 2025-2026 season begins in earnest, let's get a grasp on last year's trends!
*Comments are not limited to actual sales figures, but also include "the most popular item" and "the item that received the most inquiries from customers ." ( Prices are also for the 2024-2025 season.)

The highly cushioned inner lining is easy to process with heat molding, and fits the feet of most skiers. While the choice of boots varies depending on the purpose and level, this model is easy to recommend for general intermediate to advanced leisure skiers, including its price range, and it worked well

K2|BFC110 BOA®

Flex: 110

Weight: 2020g (26.5cm)

With a wide shell and a gentle-fitting inner lining, I think the first impression when I put my feet in these boots was very good.
In particular, the BOA boots released from the 2024-2025 season are a highlight as they have new features, and they work extremely well with wide boots, so I think the fine-tuning feature will be a big hit with people who have trouble with wide feet. They may not be sporty boots that stand out for their high functionality when skiing, but they have the gentleness of a Yogibo, and I think they are excellent boots for enjoying the resort.

Everyone is very interested in BOA, but the high-end models are overpriced and over-specced in terms of performance. So I thought there was a high demand for a model like this that could be used by both FREERIDE and the general public

Although they aren't our best sellers, we chose them based on inquiries and sales. We believe they are the perfect boot for skiers who want to do more than just ski and jump in the park, but also want to venture into the backcountry and try everything

K2's "FLEX Series" is a collection of models designed for freestyle skiing and mogul skiing, inheriting the three-piece construction of the former Full Tilt (FT) brand. The 2024-2025 season lineup includes the "REVOLVE" and "METHOD" series. While
comfort and lightness are key factors in choosing these boots, they are also increasingly popular as a synonym for stylish ski boots, and are increasingly being sought after for adding a touch of style to your feet. These boots, true to their name, offer a high degree of freedom and flexibility, transforming the image of stiff ski boots and making them a great choice for anyone looking to start skiing!

Among the BOA boots for the slopes, this boot has a wide last width and a flex that is neither too stiff nor too soft, which has been well received by many customers. It's easy to put on and heat moldable, so even customers with larger feet can choose their exact size. It's especially popular with slope and freestyle skiers!

This is a classic 3-piece boot! It's a popular boot!
The heat-moldable inner lining provides a good fit and is lightweight, making it easy to handle. It's popular not only with freeskiers but also with mogul skiers. We have a lot of mogul skiers in our shop, so I think it's popular with a lot of other skiers.

Our best-selling item for the 2024-2025 season was the "NORDICA | XRUISER." This boot was developed exclusively by Kleb Sports in collaboration with NORDICA and is not included in the official catalog. With two buckles, a 104mm last width, and a 70 flex, this boot is perfect for beginners to resort recreational skiers.
Lightweight, flexible, and incredibly easy to put on, it frees you from the stress of ski boots, such as foot pain and fatigue, allowing you to enjoy skiing to the fullest. It's available in a wide range of sizes and reasonably priced. I think these factors are the reasons for its popularity.

For the 2024-2025 season, the TX PRO underwent a full model change for the first time in 16 years. Not only has it generated a lot of buzz, but it's also lighter than the previous model, with a significantly improved range of motion in walk mode, making it easier to walk in
