Burton Ion Snowboard Boots 2013

• If you want to ride like the pros, then hop into the Burton Ion Snowboard Boots. These babies are ridden by Danny Davis, Charles Reid, and Kim Rune Hansen. The Ion Snowboard Boots have a unique one-piece upper construction that promotes high-speed stability, while Burton's NEW AutoCANT Cardinal Cushioning outsoles with EST enhance feel, control, and comfort. The Burton Ion Snowboard Boots will allow your foot to roll and tweak naturally, reducing stress on joints and ligaments--because you'll need those later.

Flex

• Flex Rating (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) - 8, perfect for all-day performance and comfort
• Power Spine Backstays - These seamless backstays allow for fine-tuned medial/lateral support, edge-to-edge response, and maximum durability.
• Lightweight Power Panels - To ensure consistent flex from day 1 to 100, this boot features strategically placed Power Panels that return to their original position even after being deeply flexed.

Fit

• Firm Flex 3D Molded Tongue - Adjusting the profile of the tongues thickness controls its flex, enhances its ability to wrap the forefoot, and reduces shell/liner stack-up for improved comfort.
• Focus Cuff - Boosting heel-hold by hugging that sweet spot around your ankle, the Focus Cuff rides slightly higher on your ankle for increased response.
• Outer Shell Pressure Relief Panel - Ultra-soft gel cushioning is fused to the area where the ankle strap rests on the boot for even pressure distribution when bindings are cranked tight.
• Shrinkage Footprint Reduction Technology - This reduces the boot's overall footprint one size, meaning a men's size 10 fits like a size 10, but has the footprint of a typical size 9. Shorter, lighter, and sleeker means that you will never have to suffer from toe drag again.
• Velcro J-Bar Interface - This interface is located in the heel pocket for added support.
• Total Comfort Construction - An instantly broken-in feel right out of the box

Liner

• Imprint 4 Liner
• DRYRIDE Moisture Wicking Tech - DRYRIDE Hyperwick mesh in the toe box insulates and regulates warmth by pulling moisture away from your skin, then evaporating it through a a waterproof/breathable shell membrane. Like a one-way door, the microscopic pores in this membrane allow moisture vapors to escape, while water droplets from the outside can't enter.
• Heat Moldable - Whether you have funky cankles or a grotesque sixth toe, your feet will be wrapped with comfort in this boot. Ride them right out of the box or shape them to your foot with Burton's EMU heat-molding system, found at your local shop.
• Rad Pad - This cushioning is located on the top of your instep, right where the liner laces exert the most pressure. These pre-curved panels keep your feet stoked and secure.
• Sock Lock - This directional fiber lining allows your feet to easily slide into place and stay in place all day.
• Velcro Liner Closure - This secures the liner in place around your foot. J-Bar adjustable heel system slides into the heel pocket for added support.

Lacing System

• Speed Zone Lacing - Customize the fit of the upper and lower zone in seconds, allowing for a lightning fast lace up. With less effort you get more rebound, more wrap, and better response. Used by stunt men, firefighters, and rescue teams, this lace material is virtually indestructible.

Footbed

• Level 3 Molded EVA Footbed with ESS Support Shank and Dual-Density Cushioning
• AutoCANT Cushioning - This cushioning is made with Pirelli Rubber and Snow Tire Tread Inspired Outsole Design. The AutoCANT cushioning is a dual-density EVA that allows your foot to settle into a more natural and relaxed position, resulting in improved comfort, reduced fatigue, and smoother, more direct board control.
• Aegis Antimicrobial Coating - Inhibits foul odors

Sole

• EST Optimized Midsole - This low-profile midsole goes beyond normal bindings by optimizing the soles on select boots for a more direct connection. Lower-profile, lighter weight, and with a reduced ramp angle, EST lowers your center of gravity and improves feel. All without sacrificing an ounce of cushioning thanks to ultra-dampening B3 Gel inserts.
• infiniFIT Liner Sole - Creates a more consistent out-of-box fit that stays true-to-size by preventing pack-out
• Additional Features
• Snow-Proof Internal Gusset - Features internal gusset construction to completely seal the lower zone of the boot, keeping feet warm and dry
