Does anybody ride in these? How do you like them? I'll probably be getting them next year, 09/10 models.  Right now I'm wearing Burton Hails, which are basically wearing mashed potatoes on your feet while snowboarding if that makes any sense. I heard K2's are wide in the toe box and narrow in the heel which is what I need since I'm using the j-bars that came with the boots. And last question, how would these fit with medium Union Force bindings? I'll probably be getting anywhere from an 8.5 to a 9.5 depending on how they fit.

I ride them; they're not bad at all.

They fit wide feet pretty well, and have good heel hold (provided you don't have extremely narrow ankles/heels).

They fit true to my actual foot size (in both the liner and shell). The shell could be a little more narrow, though.

The Access cables can create pressure points.

Toeside support is a little lacking.

Well I wear size 10 Nike 6.0s but my boots right now are an 8.5 and they fit fine but they've packed out a lot too probably. Can you determine in-store if they have pressure points, or do you have to actually be riding to notice? And, if there are pressure points is there any way you can fix them?

put the boots on in the store and wander around for a LONG time in them. cheak out every other thing in the store moving your feet around as much as you can. the longer you have them on the better chance you can find out if there are pressure points in them. i had a pair of boots years ago that had a minor one on the side of my foot and i beat it with a hammer and it sofened it up a bit, boots are made a bit diff now so it may not work out as well now but i would personally still do it.
