K2 claims the Maysis is the “Best Selling Boa Boot”. If it is, it may be because it feels good from the get go. Just slide your foot in and it’s very comfortable. Riders who suffer from ankle issues appreciated how  easy it is to open up boot and liner, so they didn’t have to force their foot into Maysis, saving them discomfort. Once on, the Maysis is not as comfortable as the much ballyhooed Nike snowboard boots, which were discontinued this year, but close.  Available in four colors, it’s on the stiffer side of the spectrum. Ride gives it a 7 out of 10 on the stiffness scale. Match that with a double boa lace system and cinching down the Maysis is simple. On the mountain, it was quick to react and the power transfer was admirable.
