Burton Driver X Snowboard Boot - Men's - 2005

Burton's Driver X Snowboarding Boot is made for hiking to backcountry kickers and dropping the biggest cliff bands. As the pinnacle all-mountain freeride boot featuring Powershell TPU support panels, the Driver-X is the best choice for power and comfort. This year Burton teamed up with Vibram, the premier manufacturer of hiking outsoles, to create the most advanced outsole ever. Boot pack up sketchy cliff bands and walk along icy pipe decks without fear of falling flat on your face (and dying from embarrassment or…death). Burton's B3 gel cushioning dampens vibrations and softens landings, giving you that extra edge on firm snow. Burton lightened up the Driver X by 18% this year but left it stiff and burly enough to handle chopped crud and bullet-proof groomed runs.

Bottom Line: Blaze backcountry trails and hike like a mountain goat.

Overall solid buy

Very stiff boots! It took me a good two days to figure out the lacing system. If I pulled too tight my feet fell asleep too loose my heel lifted. I am almost certain a few more days and they will be fitting perfect. The lacing system is very easy to use once you figure out the perfect setting. The boot is a little heavy than others I have owned, but the support and cushion makes up for that. Like I mentioned earlier; very very stiff.

Super Stiff Super Comfort

Super stiff boot with a lot of support. These are the stiffest boots in Burton's '06 lineup, yet they are super comfortable. They are much warmer and more comfortable than my Salomon F20s. The SpeedZone lace system is great and allows for true zonal control. I have very long narrow feet. Most boots I can get heel lift on flat ground. These boots lock your heels down, even without J bars. Unless you ride really hard, I doubt you would need the RAF plastic insert.

Yeah they're stiff, just confirming it. If you get these boots, have them customized, the feeling is like night and day. You can get it done at any certified Burton retailer.
