An all-mountain boot on the stiffer side, though not truly stiff. It leans toward speed and carving without giving up much agility at slow speeds. It pairs best with boards around 6–8/10 stiffness, and while it isn't cheap, the build justifies it. There's room across the toes but the boot isn't wide overall — a medium to slightly wide fit.

Speed lacing

Good

  • Supportive at speed and on edge without losing much slow-speed agility
  • Room across the toes, so it suits regular to slightly wide feet
  • True to size
  • Well built

Not so good

  • Expensive
  • A little heavier than average
  • Not the boot if you want a really soft, freestyle feel

A high-end boot with unusually quick turn response and a smooth roll onto the inside edge. It breaks in fast, though it doesn't hold its shape as long as older Burton boots did. The speed lacing means you don't lose time on the small adjustments a dual BOA needs, and it doesn't go slack all at once when you loosen it.
