When Head set out to create a touring boot, they insisted on prioritizing downhill performance. The Head KoreE 2 Alpine Touring Ski Boots certainly live up to that standard, with a super progressive and powerful feel and very reasonable middle-of-the-pack weight. The Kore 2 is the softer of the 2 Kore versions, with a nominal flex of 120, and a great choice to pair with a freeride touring rig.
