Expert reviews 1
A Step On boot that runs half a size long, which is unusual for Burton. The reviewer has worn Burton boots for 30 years and was still surprised by the length — yet your foot doesn't slide back and forth inside. The toe box is wider than the Photon and Ion Step On, so an E width fits, but only just; go wide if your feet are broad.

Good
- ✓Wider toe box than Burton's Photon and Ion Step On
- ✓Runs half a size long, yet your foot doesn't slide around inside
- ✓Comes in regular and wide, so you can match your foot width
- ✓Pair it with a light Step On binding and the whole setup gets light
Not so good
- —Runs half a size long — buy your usual size and it'll be too long
- —Tight on an E width; you'll want heat moulding or the wide version
