Features
The shoes of a major British manufacturer Burton are made of high quality material that guarantee excellent product quality and durability. The production system is based on the Total Comfort system, thanks to which, having correctly selected shoes, the Burton brand snowboard boots from the very moment of their acquisition to the unlimited period will be most comfortable to wear even without prior wearing.
In fact, the Burton company is a real “guru” for athletes who turn to this brand in search of ideal shoes that combine beauty, versatility and high quality.
The classic Burton snowboard shoe laces are replaced with a steel cable that is easily pulled with a ratchet. A significant advantage of this type of fastener is that it evenly stretches both sides of the shoe.
Close attention should be paid to a specially made tongue of moderate hardness. The structure of the outer part of the tongue is a special insert, thanks to which the athlete's legs are reliably protected from the penetration of snow into the boot.
Another advantage of the shoes of this brand is the sole made of strong, but at the same time weightless and quite flexible material using the special Shrinkage Footprint technology. The company's operating time allows the sole not to lose its high qualities even at the lowest temperatures, providing comfort and confidence to its owner.
The shoe insole itself is made from a surprisingly porous, foam material, which is an auxiliary fixation and support during intense loads.
Each model of snowboard boots also has a convenient heel loop for comfortable putting on and carrying.

One of the most sought-after women's Burton snowboard boots is a model called the Mint. No matter how many times an athlete goes on a slope, these boots perfectly retain heat, and also have shock-resistant ability and therefore deliver amazing skiing pleasure over and over again.
This model provides for the system of quick lacing, traditional for this brand, and its important distinguishing feature is the shock-absorbing interior. It perfectly provides additional support for legs under intense loads, and thanks to the special arrangement of the sole, which has a large area of contact with the board, enhances sensitivity, which significantly increases the athlete’s maneuverability on a slope.
Shoes similar to this model are also available in the Emerald, Boa, and Imperial ranges. Their design is designed specifically for the fair sex, taking into account all the necessary structural features of the calf muscles, as well as riding style. The appearance is concise and versatile, which makes it possible to combine them with any tracksuit and additional protective equipment, which is a weighty argument for snowboarders who like to follow their style.

How to choose?
The classic separation of Burton snowboard boots is by stiffness. So, the toughest boots allow better control of movements while snowboarding. They are popular among professional snowboarders for high-speed, extreme slopes, which require special fixing of the legs to avoid possible injuries and sprains.
These models are made according to the following principle: the inner part is made of soft material, and the upper, on the contrary, is made of hard material. Full fixation occurs through numerous fasteners that fit snugly against the leg. It is better for beginners to refrain from acquiring hard boots, since it will be quite difficult for them to ride them.
Soft shoes have less impact on the surface of the snowboard, but they significantly reduced the load on the legs. That is why these models are very popular with beginners - to study in them is much easier, and mistakes are also not so painfully felt. They are quite convenient not only to ride, but also to walk.
Snowboard boots should fit snugly to the foot, so it is important to be able to correctly determine the dimension. At the initial fitting, many make the mistake of buying shoes one size larger. Unlike ski boots, snowboard boots should fit snugly to the foot to ensure a secure fit.
Professional athletes give advice to beginners, which will help you choose shoes by size: the first fitting should be done without an inside, and the foot should be advanced to the maximum in the boot. If the product presses in the area of the phalanx of the thumb or little finger, then this means that the shoes are small. Next, between the back of the shoe and the heel, you need to insert your fingers in order to measure the gap formed: ideally, if two fingers fit.
