Update: after skiing more days in both boots, I have found that the scarpa works better for me. I still have issues with both the sole, the cuff height and the ski walk mechanism. But it just fits me so much better. I also added the pulse labs tongue to it which made the cuff height more appropriate for my leg. I still recommend both boots and it really just comes down to if you have a high volume or low volume foot.
Thanks for the review, what material that honeycomb bootboard in K2 is made of? I've broken two pairs of bootboards in my Zero Gs, don't want to get the same cheap boot board material in my next boots. Thanks!
It is very easy to punch. However it is high volume, so narrow ankle may not be workable with stock liner if you want want precise fit. My forefoot is also quite wide with narrow heel and I need padding or a wrap liner to get precise ankle lock down. Definitely worth trying on though as how we define our own ankles could be very different.
@@thicccboyztv I appreciate the feedback! I have always had to add heel padding to hold my ankle down (f1, tlt7,maestrale, and now with radical pros). The radical pros have been the roomiest boot that I've tried but I still scratch for every mm of space that I can get (skimoco bootfitter, diy punching, using liners from f1s and tlt7s). While the k2s aren't the widest to start, my optimism tells me that there is enough overall volume that I can take space where I don't need it (boot height) and create space where I want it (forefoot width) -- and end up with something wider than what I can get with the Radical Pros (without the boot top totally collapsing). Anyway, I'll give them a try!
Lol, jokes on you, dispatch lt is already out and it's punchable with no boa liner. In fact I think the lack of boa liner is the only difference. Only like 50g lighter.

I honestly have no idea. It seems more plastic based though than other boot boards . It's denser and more flexible than ultralight ones I've seen
I am 90 kg ish and i feel the dispatch is a little too soft… where do you get the extra layer fort the stifness? Thanks for the review!

Hello, thank you for the comparison. Could you please provide a link to the aftermarket shell enforcement?
Did the switch from the original k2 liner to the intuition tour wrap decrease or increase volume?
@@mikejohnston6079 The tour wrap much is a much thicker liner than the original K2 liner so it decreased volume
Thanks. That's what I was hoping for
was the k2 shell pretty easy to punch? I'm considering that boot but have a thiccc forefoot (~110mm wide) and narrow ankle.

when do you think K2 will release the dispatch LT? I want a dispatch boot made from carbon I can't punch and 4 boa dials instead of buckles.

@@thicccboyztv these fuckers are always one step ahead of me
How would you compare quattro to tecnica zero g? In terms of downhill performance and walkability
Scarpa Quattro is superior in both absolute stiffness and walkabability
hi, i have a narrow heal, high instep ,high arch and wide forefoot with slim calf. K2 is high instep ?
Yes K2 is high volume in all ways. Heel pocket is good though. Calf may be problematic but maybe ok
