LACING
Traditional Lacing No fancy wires, reels, or handles, just a couple of laces for that tried and true feel and customized fit.
Exo-Wrap Reinforced Two-to-One Lower Zone Lacing Gives you more pulling power with less effort, making it easier to dial in the fit of the lower zone for added heel hold and mid-foot wrap while leaving the top loose for more mobility.
FLEX / RESPONSE
Articulating Cuff Allowing the upper and lower zones of the boot to flex independently creates fluid forward motion, minimizes shell distortion, and maximizes heel hold and response.
GripLITE Backstay Snugging up the fit between boot and hi-back, our new rubber print backstays also shave weight and enhance material-to-material grip. The result of this printed rubber application is more direct transfer from boot to binding to board for reduced rider fatigue.
NEW 1:1 Medium Flex PowerUP Tongue For greater rebound and durability, the majority of our boots feature this dual density tongue construction. Like all our Thin Profile 3D® Molded Tongues, it’s available in one of three flex options based on the boot. For even greater response, check the thermoplastic-reinforced PowerUP PlusTongue on the Driver X.
Shrinkage™ Footprint Reduction Technology Reduces the boot’s overall footprint one full size, meaning a men’s size 10 fits like a size 10, but has the footprint of a typical size 9. Shorter, lighter, sleeker—never suffer from toe drag again.
CUSIONING / TRACTION
NEW DynoBITE Outsole
ReBounce Cushioning More comfort and more warmth is the Burton-exclusive upgrade of NEW Rebounce Cushioning. The extra hops are accomplished by surrounding the foot with a two-layer 3D laminate of cushy PU plus reflective material, which not only reduces impact and absorbs chatter but also turns heat inward. Featured on the SLX, Ion, NEW Ion Leather, Hail Restricted, and Supreme.
Sleeping Bag Reflective Foil This new low-profile and lightweight underfoot technology reflects heat back to the feet, improving both warmth and comfort when faced with cold conditions. Exclusive to the Felix and NEW Ritual.
Total Comfort Construction Get an instantly broken-in feel right out of the box. Total Comfort’s industry-exclusive construction eliminates the break-in period for a fit that feels just as good from day 1 to 100.
Snow-Proof Internal Gusset All Burton boot tongues feature an internal gusset construction to completely seal the lower zone of the boot, keeping feet warm and dry.
Level 2 Molded EVA Footbed Lightweight and long-lasting shock absorption.
ESS Support Shank The added support reduces fatigue while preventing your arch from collapsing on itself when you bomb drop a 40-footer.
