Thats awesome! I love k2 stuff, always have. Of all the ski companies that got into snowboarding to make a quick buck, atleast they did it right with research, design, innovation, capital, and dedication. My old k2 dart snowboard from 1995 or so finally just delamed around the nose this year. 15 years to break says alot to me! If their new stuff is the same quality as the old with updated technology, then I think you'll have those boots for quite a while 🙂 Nice purchase!
