The K2 Anthem 85 BOA Women’s Ski Boot combines a forgiving performance level with a precise, customisable fit, making them a strong choice for developing skiers who want comfort without sacrificing control. Designed specifically around women’s foot and lower-leg geometry, the Anthem 85 BOA uses K2’s BOA® Fit System, heat-moldable construction and a supportive liner to deliver a secure, comfortable fit throughout the day.

With an 85 flex rating and 100 mm medium-volume last, the boot offers a balanced combination of support, accessibility and all-day comfort. GripWalk soles further improve walking comfort around the resort, while the heat-moldable shell allows the fit to be personalised by a qualified boot fitter.

BOA® Fit System

The Anthem 85 BOA uses K2’s BOA® Fit System to provide micro-adjustable closure and a more even distribution of pressure around the foot. The system combines a dial, lightweight high-strength lacing and low-friction guides to allow precise adjustment while skiing.

This gives the boot a more controlled and consistent wrap than a conventional buckle system, while making it easy to fine-tune the fit throughout the day. K2’s BOA boots are specifically designed to improve pressure distribution and reduce common fit issues associated with excessive buckle tension.

Women’s-Specific Fit & Comfort

The Anthem range is designed specifically for women rather than simply adapting a men’s shell to a smaller size. K2’s women’s boot architecture is intended to better accommodate female foot and calf geometry, helping create a more natural and balanced stance.

The 100 mm last provides a medium-volume fit that balances foot security with useful room across the forefoot. The heat-moldable shell also gives boot fitters the ability to make further adjustments around pressure points and individual foot shape.

The Luxfit liner adds cushioning and comfort, making the Anthem 85 particularly well suited to skiers who prioritise an easy-going fit for full days on the mountain.

Performance & Flex

With an 85 flex, the Anthem 85 BOA sits towards the more forgiving end of K2’s women’s performance range. This makes it easier to flex and control than a stiffer performance boot, while still providing enough support for confident piste and all-mountain skiing.

K2 lists the boot for a broad range of terrain, including piste, powder, freestyle, park and moguls, making it a versatile option for skiers who want one comfortable boot for different parts of the mountain.

GripWalk & Everyday Convenience

The Anthem 85 BOA is equipped with GripWalk outsoles, which provide improved traction and comfort when walking across hard surfaces around the resort. They are designed to maintain appropriate power transmission and release characteristics when paired with compatible GripWalk bindings.

The 30 mm Velcro power strap provides additional support around the upper cuff, helping maintain a secure connection between the leg and boot while complementing the BOA closure system.

Technical Specifications

Technical specifications are based on K2’s official Anthem product information and current 2027 women’s ski boot range.

Who Is It For?

The K2 Anthem 85 BOA is aimed at developing and intermediate women skiers who want a comfortable boot that remains supportive as their technique progresses.

It is particularly well suited to skiers who spend most of their time on piste but want the versatility to explore powder, moguls, freestyle and park terrain.
