Burton outfitted the Men’s Ion Snowboard Boot with a low-profile EST midsole to bring you closer to your board for response and better board feel. Burton added its RX Adjustable Cushioning System to these boots, which enables you to choose your padding based on snow conditions or the kind of riding you’re doing. Using the system is simple: before you pull on your Ions, take out the liners, and put either the included gel or air cartridges into the heel chambers.
Burton’s RX adjustable system lets you choose the dampening of B3 Gel or the responsiveness and cushioning of air
Speed Zone zonal lacing lets you adjust how tight you want your boots around your insteps and ankles
Power Spine backstays on the boot shells offer excellent lateral and medial response and support
The heat-moldable Imprint 4 liners feature Focus Cuffs that hug your ankles to enhance heel hold
The liners’ EZ Entry panels reduce friction so you don’t feel like you’re trying to shove your feet into women’s boots
InfiniFIT EVA soles in the liners cushion feet and won’t pack out after half a season
Power Panels in the liners ensure these boots retain the same flex, rebound, and support on day 101 as you experienced on day one
Outlast Adaptive Comfort Technology means these boots’ liners are smart enough to absorb excess heat and then release that heat when your feet get cold.
Bottom Line: These boots have more high-tech features than the average rocket-ship.
FYI - for anyone that has these boots - I have had mine for a year (about 60 days on them - including touring). I have always had a problem with my feet going numb when my bindings are tight. If I'm just walking around, they're fine - obviously this is a problem. I finally figured out that it was the soles. They don't offer enough support - so when the bindings are tight, my foot was flattened out. I bought some super feet and took out the Burton soles. It's like a whole new boot. The pain and foot cramping is gone and it stopped my heel slipping issues too. I love these boots - they're awesome. But I would highly recommend switching out the soles.
if they are comfortable then yes they are worth it.. but you should check out some other boots before you buy these because you will probably find cheaper ones that are just as comfortable. You may even find that this boot kills your feet because everybodys feet are different, whats great for me may be painful for you
You may consider this a biased opinion, but I say yes. They aren't cheap, but after switching from these to some less-expensive Burton boots I realized just how badass they were. Super lightweight, comfortable, and great support. If it means anything, I'm going back to the Ions again next season.
I decided to try these after using DC BOAs for 3 seasons. I thought I would never use anything but BOAs, but I'm glad I tried these. They are stiff in all the right spots, light, responsive and very comfy. I'll likely use these for a number of seasons and buy comparable boots from Burton when the time comes. Thanks Dogfunk for the quick shipping.

i have 07 burton tribute boots and they have gotten too small. Will burton ions work well with burton cartel bindings? Also, i had 11.5 tributes should i go up to a 12 for the ions?
I ride Ion's with cartels and they work great. Go for a half size smaller than your shoe. The boots are stiff but incredibly comfortable and will mold to your foot and pack out to your shoe size.
go to your local shop try them on and buy them there, i guarantee you that the 11.5's actually fit you now that you had them since 07. Also any burton boot is meant to work well with burton bindings, thats how they get you to buy their stuff.
hand down the best boots for all purpose shred, I have med strength ankles and love the support these provide. im tired of other boots turning to leather mockinsons after 25 days, Im on my third pair of ions jsut cause I ride a bit and with the funk you can damn near replace them every year and MAKE money!!! DOG FUNK and ions, I LOVE YOU!!! burton knows whats up. HIGHLY RECOMENDED. experienced rider-- no lies -ions FOR LIFE.. ordering new pair...... NOW only gripe is they change them every year, i WISH i could afford two pairs. AAS all about snow!!
how much do these pack out? last season i rode the motos and I wear an 8.5 shoe so i got size 8 boots and they packed out so much that i was practically sliding all over the place. Should I go down to a 7.5 for the ions or will an 8 do alright?
no go for the 7.5, you just sized your foot too big. people buy boots way too big, its very common. i personally wear a 11 sized shoe and i wear a 9.5 boot
The Ions have a much, much higher-end liner and a slightly lower-profile last than the Motos, so they should pack out a lot less and fit more snug to begin with. I'd go for the 8.
Very stiff, allows for maximum control of your deck and comfortable to walk in. The only draw back was that putting them on its quite a process, but once my feet were in I loved them. The day was cold and my feet never went numb. I'm not used to the new lacing system, but once figured out, I guess I can understand how it can be more convenient.
These boots are dope. No heel slip, very supportive. Put them on in 90seconds. not for the beginner. Very warm, pull them as tight as u want with no circulation problems. B3gel or air pocket heel insert is awesome. these boots are lights out.
Switched to the Ions after wearing Salomon Synapses for three years. The SpeedZone lacing system on the Ion allows for a much more customized fit than the Salomon. Teamed this boot up with a pair of Cartels and the match was perfect for me. If you charge down the mountain and are looking for a stiff, responsive boot then look no further.
Great boots. Warm, kept my foot dry. I have short, fat feet. I normally wear 10 1/2, a 10 fits me perfectly. I gave it a 4 star because the laces felt a little flimsy for a $400 boot and it's a big pain for me to get my feet into the boot. Super comfort, looks great and cleans easily too!
