Boa Conda
Fit on the fly
The patented K2 CONDA System allows you to tighten, loosen or adjust your liner on-the-fly – from outside of the boot! The first time you try this, you’ll wonder how you ever rode without it.
How it works: A Boa® is attached to the CONDA minimized harness is securely built into the shell of the boot and tightens around the liner to lock your foot in position. Focus is on the superior ankle support and heel hold. The harness lace is threaded through a floating tongue lace guide, allowing riders to customize fit for maximum comfort.
Double Boa
Fully adjustable, inside-out fit
The K2 Double Boa® System allows for separate adjustment and tightening of the liner and outer shell of the boot. Other two reel systems focus on upper and lower shell tightening. But if your liner isn't adjusted right, none of that helps. With a proper liner fit, the single coiler reel on the outer does the job.

Comments about K2 Snowboarding Maysis:
These are outstanding boots. They are much stiffer than Burton Ions or Ruler boots, and unlike the Burton Speedzone, you can really get some tight boothold with the boa system. I am very impressed with the waterproofing on these boots as well.
The downsides are that the upper tongue takes a while to adjust properly (it took me 6-7 days on the hill before it was dialed in perfect for both feet) and that there is a little bit of rub and scraping coming from usage with Union Asadachi bindings - however, this is cosmetic and doesn't seem to be affecting the material on the outers in a meaningful way.
I have found these boots give me much better control on moguls and trees where quick turning is essential. I am using with both a rocker (Lib Tech TRS) and camber (Arbor A-Frame) board, and the improvement over my Burton Ions is palpable.

Comments about K2 Snowboarding Maysis:
Hi, I baught these boots on Sunday, went boarding today (Tues), After 1 Run down the slope i realised i had well over tightened my leading foot, causing a pain on the lower shin and slight pain on the inside ankle, which wasnt a problem within a minute i had loosened the boot, removed my foot, refitted my sock and had re-tightened. which made my friend that i was with extremely jealous :D
next run down i was carving away like i had worn these boots for months, very comfortable, nice and warm too, i did feel as tho the top of the outer shell appeared to loosen only slighty towards the end of the day on my lagging foot, but to be honest i did spend a lot of the day playing around with them to find a nice riding feel. the very slight play did allow me to turn much quicker.
the big plus i noticed with these boots is when flying downhill, i hit a large icy patch where i then went hard on the brakes to stop myself from falling and... well... really hurting myself :P where before with previous boots the vibration and knee vibration i felt was horrendous, these boots REALLY helped i Actually found it a lot easier and a lot less vibration, i tested this out a few times on the big ice patch and every-time without fail it felt like i was riding on it like it was powder. the noise from the board was there but only a fraction of the vibration and bounce
BUY THESE BOOTS!!

Comments about K2 Snowboarding Maysis:
One of my favorite parts about this boot is the Liner and the liner boa conda, The liner boa conda doesn't tighten the entire liner and thats good, It tightens exactly where you need it and lets the blood still flow through your foot. The other part I really like about the liner is the velcro. Its perfectly placed so it won't irritate your foot or leg and to also hold the liner tongue and boa conda liner in place, so you don't have a bunch of stuff shifting while you ride. Thanks to the minimalistic and strategically placed, yet perfectly used, technology this boot gets tight, stays tight, feels great and fits perfectly. You won't find a better feeling or fitting boot anywhere for any price.

Comments about K2 Snowboarding Maysis:
Just got them in and put them on w board to check the fit. I wear a size 11 shoe and bought a size 12 Maysis. My toes are crammed in and I definitely won't take them to the mountain. In addition the inner boa digs into my shins even when fairly loose. Had someone else try them on to make sure it wasn't just me and agreed it digs in to shins. NOT comfortable. Hate sending things back and retried them on several times but I'm sending them back tomorrow.

Comments about K2 Snowboarding Maysis:
I just bought the boots last week
so can't tell you how they are while riding my board
when I walked in to a shop I wasn't looking for new boots but they look cool and give it a try
I know this was the boot for me when I put them on the first time
didn't even try other boots and 1 week later I bought them
they are warm comfortable and very stiff
it is a bit harder to walk with than with my previous boots but it is still better than with my hardboots
quality seems to be ok but can't tell you much about it because I didn't use (and abuse) the boots right now
also the dual boa system works perfect
I used to have boots with the single boa system and never had problems with it
after 5 years the shoes are broken but the boa is still 100% ok
take care that when you buy the boots online that you need a bigger size than you normaly have
I used to have 10.5 but now I have 11.5
so better go to a shop and look what size you need
I hope I have informed you well and give it a try
you won't be disapointed
greetings from holland,
michel
Service and delivery comments:
before I saw this boot I didn't even know that K2 was a snowboardbrand
so maybe do something about advertising (here in the netherlands)
for the boot, it is good the way it is now

Merchant response: Our boots actually fit true to size.
Maybe you forgot to take out the cardboard in the tie of the boot that we put in to keep the shape from the factory.
Heat molding the liner make a huge difference when the boot is new.
These are things you can fix or be guided on when shopping at a local dealer.
