We'll tell you about the best-selling boots this winter (2024-2025 season) and the reason for their popularity

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 those that "sold the most" or "received the most customer inquiries." (Prices are also from the 2024-2025 season.)

DALBELLO| Veloce 110 MV

Weight: 1925g (26.5cm)

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 its wide shell and comfortable inner lining, I think these boots made a great first impression when I put my feet in.
The BOA boots, especially those released in the '24-'25 season, were a highlight as a new feature, and they paired very well with the wide boots. I think the fine-tuning function would be particularly appealing to people with wide feet. They may not be sporty boots that stand out for their high performance in skiing, but they have a comforting feel like a Yogibo, and I think they are excellent boots for enjoying resort life.

K2|BFC 100 BOA®

Flex: 100

Size: 24.5-30.5cm (1cm increments)
¥81,400

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

Flex: 90
Last: 99mm
Weight: 2,020g (26.5cm)

K2's "FLEX series" inherits the 3-piece construction of the former Full Tilt (FT) brand ski boots and is a group of models designed for freestyle skiing and moguls. The 2024-2025 season lineup includes the "REVOLVE" and "METHOD" series.
Ease of putting on and lightness are the main selling points, but there is also a growing demand for stylish ski boots that can add flair to your look. These highly flexible boots, as the name suggests, have changed the image of ski boots as being stiff, and are a great help for everyone who wants 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!

K2 | REVOLVE PRO

Flex: 100
Last: 99mm
Weight: 1865g (26.5cm)
Size: 24.5-31.5cm (0.5cm increments)
¥93,500

A classic 3-piece boot! It's a popular choice!
The heat-moldable liner provides a great fit, and its lightweight design makes it easy to handle. It's popular not only with freeskiers but even more so with mogul skiers. Since we have many mogul skiers in our shop, I think that's why it's worn by so many skiers.

NORDICA|XRUISER

Flex: 70
Last: 104mm
Weight: 1710g (26.5cm)
Size: 22.5-30.5cm (0.5cm increments)
¥48,400

◆Official website/

For the 2024-2025 season, our best-selling item was the "NORDICA | XRUISER (Cruiser)". This boot was developed exclusively by Kleb Sports in collaboration with NORDICA and is an unlisted model not found in the official catalog. With two buckles, a 104mm last width, and a flex of 70, this boot was a perfect fit for beginners and resort recreational skiers alike. It

's lightweight, flexible, and incredibly easy to put on. It frees you from the stress of ski boots that cause "foot pain" and "fatigue," allowing you to purely enjoy skiing. It comes in a wide range of sizes and is reasonably priced. I think those 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
