Burton Driver X Snowboard Boot - Men's - 09/10 - 2009

If speed is your poison of choice the Burton Men’s Driver X Snowboard Boot is the perfect way to feed your habit. Stiff and powerful, like whiskey out of a flask, the Driver X will propel you through tough terrain. The Vibram sole is covered in rubber ice spikes to help you show that bootpack who’s boss and while this is a stiff boot it sacrifices nothing in the way of comfort.

  • Molded EVA Footbed with ESS Support shank provides a comfortable and supportive home for your feet
  • Dual Zone B3 Gel Cushioning adds an extra layer of padding between you and those stomped cliffs
  • Imprint 3 Liner with J-Bar adjustable heel hold system holds your foot in place, allowing for more efficient energy transfer
  • Speed Zone lacing system tightens your boot in all the right places

Bottom Line: Serious boots for the serious rider.

huge fan of burton boots... after going thru 2 pairs of rulers, thought i try a stiffer boot and these boots are awesome. super stiff with excellent ankle support without sacrificing function. i wish had these 2 years ago before i tore up my ankles. as with all burton boots, these are super comfy and warm. i've always been a fan of speed lacing... love it or hate it. you decide.

too bad i had to return these boots on the count of the boot being 1/2 size too big.

2nd pair of drivers

finally wore out my last pair of boots (04 burton drivers). loved them, so i decided to get the new version. super stiff, which i like, gives me confidence riding steep/fast. i love the speed lacing system, took me a while to figure out my preferences for the dual zones (tight top zone/looser bottom zone)so my foot wouldn't cramp. i love how stiff these are, but if you are used to soft or medium stiff boots you're in for an (uncomfortable) surprise. i would not recomend these for anybody freestyly/tweaky. if you freeride (fast,steep,deep)and want something responsive with a wider forefoot area, i highly recomend these stompers.

Driver X

Very stiff boot, so if that's what you're looking for all's well but I found them too stiff for my liking. It's even a bit of a chore to walk in them, they're that rigid.

Seem to be pretty durable from my experience (little bit of superficial wear on top of toes but that's it), and the laces, although looking thin, are bloody tough. You can pick spare laces up for like under $10 anyway.

Regarding comfort I wasn't that impressed. Got a lot of ache in my shins and feet (especially lead foot). I'll probably look around for something a little more mid-flex.
