Burton SLX Snowboard Boot - Men's - 2012

Even if you want unlimited flexibility and a close connection to your board doesn't mean you  have to forego cushioning and support; the Burton SLX Snowboard Boot balances these elements on lock. The internal guts of the SLX include the almighty Imprint 5 liner and Burton’s Level 3 EVA footbed (with ESS support shank) all of which encapsulated with a super-durable and lightweight shell that will probably outlast the life of your board.

  • SpeedZone lacing puts true micro-adjustable lacing at your fingertips
  • Rad Pad uses pre-curved panels at the boot’s instep to eliminate pressure and lace bite
  • B3 gel in the midsole absorbs impact from big landings and high-speed chatter without losing integrity over the season or changing density in colder temps
  • Shrinkage footprint reduction technology reduces the sole’s length, height, and weight by one whole size down while still fitting true inside the boot
  • Articulated shell design allows for repeated flexing without bowing or loosening of laces
  • New S4 shell panels contribute to an even flex in all areas of the boot while dispersing ankle-strap pressure and resisting breakdown
  • Seamless asymmetric Power Spine backstay supports flexing and the shifting of weight while resisting breakdown and eliminating pressure points
  • Vibram EcoStep outsole provides a gentle footprint on the earth by using 30% recycled rubber and places a rugged hold on ice with a four-way non-slip rubber compound complete with rubber ice spikes
  • EST optimized midsole increases your connection to the board by cutting down the overall volume and weight drastically while maintaining the cushioning needed for stomping big landings
  • Imprint 5 liner with Rebound Rods and dual-density cushioning throughout provide top-to-bottom support to save your ankles and pamper them with luxurious cushioning and a solid hold on your entire foot
  • Level 3 EVA footbed with ESS support shanks and Aegis antimicrobial coating provides the support and comfort needed for freeriding and park alike
  • 1:1 lasting gives half and full-size shells the same size outsole and liner; so you will never see a half-size liner inside an even-sized shell or vice-versa

Bottom Line: Opening new doors in both tech and terrain.

The SLX featuring the NEW S4 Bombshell— a superlight full S4 shell construction for ultimate rebound and long-lasting response. The fluid flexing design incorporates only the top tech developments—from the latest in liner science to the ultimate Vibram outsole. Put the SLX up on a pedestal.

Picked up the 2012 versions for incredibly cheap at a local place in Anchorage. Best boots I've ever touched.
The imprint 5 is exponentially more comfortable than anything available, the b3 gel is squishy and feels wonderful for long periods of time, your heel is practically sucked into place with no movement. The forward flex is great for all mountain or freestyle.
I didn't like the speed lacing at first, but after wearing these I love it.
The tough material on the outside is Badass, too. Keeps the boot stiff, and they're damn sexy ;)
