Burton Ion Snowboard Boot - Men's - 2012

The legendary featherweight big-mountain freestyle whip that is the Burton Ion Snowboard Boot returns to continue its legacy of sought-after comfort and support—but this time it's running Pirellis. That's right, the best just got better with incomparable tread developed by Pirelli for optimal traction that gives you a secure foot-hold both in the binding and during the backcountry ascent. In addition to its snow-tire inspired design, the Ion's all-star assortment of tech is still present, including Speed Zone lacing and the anatomical support of AutoCANT cushioning.

  • Speed Zone lacing delivers a closer-fitting, dual-zone wrap with less effort and time than traditional lacing
  • Outer-shell relief panel disperses pain-causing pressure before you even know it's there
  • Firm-flex thin profile 3D molded tongue fits proper right out of the box and is thinner than your average tongue to pull in closer to reduce stacked-up volume
  • Seamless Power Spine backstay maintains the shape of the boot all season long and beyond
  • Imprint 4 liner features sole-to-cuff Power Panels for 100-day worthy support and J-Bar adjustable heel retention along with DryRide moisture-wicking properties to fight odors
  • Level 3 EVA footbed with ESS support shank and Aegis antimicrobial coating
  • AutoCANT dual-density cushioning encourages a natural foot position and reduced fatigue and has been developed with ducked angles and wide stances in mind
  • EST-optimized midsole delivers low-to-the-ground extra-sensory response with lightweight cushioning that comes ready to do battle repeated flat landings
  • Rad Pad pre-curved panels are located at the instep to absorb pressure from tightened laces
  • Pirelli rubber outsole features a unique traction design modeled after high-end snow-tire tread patterns
  • Shrinkage footprint reduction technology takes down the volume of the boot a whole boot size while fitting true inside the boot
  • Total Comfort design eliminates pressure points and overall discomfort at the widest part of your foot by moving the beginning of the laces further up the foot

Bottom Line: Pirelli-powered big-mountain freestyle.

I got these boots last season as I wanted to try something different then the Drivers I had been using. I like them because they are not so stiff and give me much more freedom. Super comfy!
