Description

Following Burton’s complete ground-up overhaul of their Step On® footwear ecosystem, the 2027 Burton Highshot X Pro Step On® Boot claims its throne as the absolute pinnacle of high-performance, hard-charging control. Built for advanced-to-expert riders who require zero lag time and immediate, razor-sharp edge execution, the X Pro sits at the very top tier of Burton’s four-tier hierarchy (Highshot, Plus, X, and X Pro). Aligning its stiff, aggressive flex profile directly with the legendary heritage of the Ion Step On®, this boot is engineered to dominate steep technical chutes, icy pipe walls, and high-velocity carves. It completely eliminates the slack and strap pressure of traditional setups, replacing it with a locked-in, full-speed-ahead performance blueprint built to handle the highest speeds on the mountain.

Patents & Technology

The Highshot X Pro spares no expense, utilizing scientifically validated wrapping closures and top-tier backcountry materials.

• Step On® Boot-to-Binding Interface: This system utilizes three secure connection points—two on the toe hooks and one on the heel cleat—to completely eliminate the need for traditional binding straps. It ensures a highly responsive, direct connection to your snowboard with flawless lateral flex and zero performance slop.

• BOA® Triple Dial Perform Fit™ Wrap: The crown jewel of premium boot lacing. This advanced configuration uses three independent BOA® dials operating high-strength TX3 textile laces. It allows you to micro-adjust the upper cuff tension, the internal lower forefoot, and the ankle zones uniformly. This structural wrap drastically improves power transfer, stability, and heel hold while completely eliminating localized pressure points.

• Asym Life Liner with DRYRIDE Heat Cycle™: A pro-caliber, heat-moldable liner built with lightweight Ultralon Performance Foam® and an asymmetric wrap cuff. The interior is lined with interwoven thermally activated carbon threads that absorb, radiate, and reflect your body heat inward while driving moisture away from your skin.

• X Pro Firm Vibram® Outsole: Built to tackle slick ridges and rugged terrain, the high-performance Vibram® EcoStep Plus rubber outsole contains 50% recycled rubber content. It features specialized traction lugs that optimize grip on ice and rock, while reducing overall footprint weight.
