2012 Burton Ion Boots: the breaking in of a boot can be a grueling process, but the Ion snowboard boot from Burton is positively charged with features that supersede comfort straight out of the box. The industry-exclusive toe box construction of the Ion’s Total Comfort severs the ties that bind boots to the grueling process. Its Speed Zone Lacing System and Rad Pad form like Voltron to get you laced up faster than a lightning strike while eliminating uncomfortable pressure points atop your instep. EST Optimized Soles provide a low profile and reduced ramp angle to increase board feel. The list goes on, including: a Firm Flex Thin Profile 3D molded tongue and NEW seamless Power Spine Backstay. When all is said and done, it is no surprise how the Burton Ion boot is, has been, and will be a longstanding team legend.
