Key Equipment Disruptive Splitboard Boot

Dissatisfied with available options and tired of continually modifying alpine touring boots with mixed results, Key Equipment set out to create a purpose-built splitboarding boot that offered the best of both soft and hard boots. After many prototypes and extensive testing, Key Equipment is proud to introduce the Disruptive boot. Combining the damp and plush characteristics of a soft boot with the technical precision and responsiveness of a hard boot, Key Equipment is confident that the Disruptive is the best splitboarding boot out there for long days in the backcountry. As a testament to this, these are the boots Krister Kopala uses when tackling seriously big lines.

Sharing many characteristics of the boots we know and love here at Skimo Co., the Disruptive won't hold you back on big vertical days. It offers a large range of motion and low-friction cuff pivots, helping make short work on grueling ascents. The shell is designed to be laterally stiff, helping you keep pressure on the edges of your splitboard, thereby increasing grip on icy skintracks. On the down, Key Equipment has tuned the Disruptive to feel like a soft boot in a medium-stiff binding with a supportive ankle strap. The adjustable forward lean can easily be switched without tools and allows you to find your ideal stance.

Striving for longevity in their products, Key Equipment designed the Disruptive to be repairable and offers an array of parts aimed to keep your boots in service for many seasons of fun. This helps lessen the boot's impact while also allowing you to save money. This is a win-win if you ask us!

Designed for splitboarders that want the efficiency of a hard boot with the downhill feel of a soft boot, the Disruptive is a unique offering that is sure to elevate your backcountry experience.
