K2's Anthem 85 takes all the tech of the high-performance versions in the range and dials it back to suit lighter or less-skilled skiers who need an easier flexing boot with an average foot. The same Powerlite Shell, Powerfuse Spyne and Energy Interlock used by its stiffer counterparts ensures the weight is surprisingly low and yet they still manage to feel responsive with a decent amount of rebound for a fun lively feel too. The shell is custom mouldable to provide the maximum comfort and the right amount of foot hold quickly and easily in store. The liner is heat moulded to the skier too, using softer materials than stiffer flexing boots and resulting in less pressure points and more all-day comfort.

Shell TPU Powerlite Shell and PP cuff, customisable. This shell is purpose-built to result in the best skiing, lightest boots produced.

The end product, some of the lightest downhill boots on the market that ski with all the power and drive of heavier models. Rounded out with FastFit ease of entry and full TPU boot fitter customisation capabilities.
Liner Luxfit, mouldable. Pre-moulded and lasted with Ultralon heat-mouldable foam. Features pre-moulded ankle pockets and a medium density collar and foam package offering performance with comfort.
Key Features
Powerfuse Spyne A rear co-injected ‘Y' shaped support that adds strength and power to the Energy Interlock in order to maximize fore/aft flex efficiency and lateral stiffness for responsiveness in every type of terrain.
Energy Interlock A rivet-free technology that integrates the cuff and shell, putting less stress on the boot's material and produces a smoother, progressive flex.
Fast Fit Entry Softer TPU designed into the instep area of Powerlite shell for quick and easy entry and exit.
Navicular Punch A strategic bump is built into the boot mould to alleviate pressure commonly experienced during ankle flexion.
