Sierra Says: The new Ion is a whole different boot than the previous models. With too many new features to describe, the Burton Ion is reinventing the way snowboard boots are being made. With more comfort, strength, and performance than last year, it is no wonder why most Burton pros decide to ride the Ion over any other boot in the world.
Burton Says: Game chargers wanted. Straight up reinvented, the boot ridden by more Burton (and non-Burton) pros than any other is an entirely new animal. The new EST midsole lowers your center of gravity for a closer connection with your board; while new Rx Adjustable Cushioning lets you switch your suspension between the cush of gel or the responsiveness of air. Not enough? New Shrinkage Tech shortens the boot's footprint one full size, eliminating overhang forever. The bar's been officially raised. Any takers? Terrain Uses

 Burton Ion Snowboard Boots Reviews (21 total)4/10/2009 Graphics: ok
Fit: heel is snug
Laces: speed lace
Pros: Waterproofing, Easy in & out, Well known brand
Other Thoughts: OK here is the deal. The Burton Ion boot is a good boot but not great. It would be GREAT if it has traditional laces. This is my first time using the speed zone lacing and i do not think that the added convenience and comfort are worth the lack of customization, peace of mind and comfort a traditional lace boot.
I intend to get back on a high end, stiff lace boot for next year.
I still recomend these boot to most people, but if you are anal like i am, you might want to stay with a traditional lace

Other Thoughts: Ive now bought boots three years in a row now with the Burton Ion's being my latest buy. I switched from the Hails to this boot and instantly loved it. The boot holds my heel down and supports my foot better than any boot i have been in. The lacing system could not be any easier as well. It has made a huge difference in the length of time i can ride and also being more comfortable on the mountain. These boots pack out and conform really well to your feet too.

Other Thoughts: Fantastic. The price tag on these made me weary but they were worth every penny. I upgraded from 07 moto's and I feel like a new rider.
INCREDIBLY comfortable, great response, fantastic heel hold.
They were geared for the EST system and advanced riders, but I would suggest these boots to anyone who doesn't mind the price tag. I love them.
No cons yet, i've heard from sources that your toes can get cold but i've had no issues thus far.

Pros: Heel hold, Easy lacing, Well known brand
Other Thoughts: Love the Ions. Lots of changes this season. This years boot is a little bit softer than last years, maybe becuase of the lower profile outer. I love the batwing on the laces. These dont pack out as much as some other boots, I dont have to size down. They are also some of Burtons more narrow boots, so they have great heel lock. Time to step up your game? Get'em!

Cons: Difficult in & out
Other Thoughts: Used 4 days in Utah, 1 day back east. Very form-fitting; was initially tight on my right big toe, but has since adjusted comfortably. No complaints whatsoever on comfort or performance though toes were occasionally cold in 25* weather on lifts, possibly due to overtightening? Have previously worn Vans Fargo Boas for 4 years-- Burton's speedlacing is nice, but not as easily adjustable as Boas. With Boas, you can loosen the tongue going up the lift and have them retightened by the time you hop off. The Burtons can do the same, but with significantly more effort. Speedlaces require pulling the handles out of the storage slots, then replacing them after tightening. Excess/loose lacing must be tucked into boot or otherwise risk being bound up in binding ratchets when stepping out of binding at end of run. Found lining to be difficult to remove for overnight drying/ airing out. Size 9.5 boot are true to size and fit great in Burton's medium sized bindings. Agree with other opinions that there is no heel lift. Again, very good performance and comfort.

Other Thoughts: I upgraded from my Hail 06 boots. I bought these after 50% off. First I thought these boots were expensive, now I know why. I feel like i have couple of pillows underneath my feet. My landing is a lot softer with these boots. Speed zone lace system is the best, but I'm abit worried how long those laces are going to last cause they are tiny and i don't think they are replaceable. It came with two different types of impact insert for your heal. I strongly recommand these boots, but of course, good products are sold out quick.

Pros: Heel hold, Comfortable, Easy lacing, Durable, Traction, Good quality, Breathable, Easy in & out, Well known brand
Other Thoughts: Had 07 ions and wore them to death, Briefly wore Ride Crew boots and picked these up a week ago as soon as they went on sale in the White/green,
This is an EXCELLENT boot and upgraded from my 07's . It's lighter and comes with improved Kevlar speed zone laces for durability.
I took these right out of the box with no heat-molding to Colorado-Beaver Creek/Vail.
We started the day at the Rose Bowl/Stone Creek area of Black/double blacks at Beaver creek and I can tell you the stiffness of these boots are a HUGE asset on an insane 40 degree steep or chute.
High speed runs at the end of the day --the same deal--- Great combination of Response/Stiffness/Comfort.. I have a narrow foot and had ZERO heel lift .
I ride a T6 and they're perfectly matched with the board + C0'2 to suit my hard-charging speed freak style.
This is a fantastic boot. Highly recommended for all-mountain and freeriders..

Other Thoughts: I demo-ed these and loved them, but to for the price tag that goes with them. I would love to add them to my list of stuff I own if I had the cash. The boots almost cost as much a new board.

Other Thoughts: I ordered this boot to replace my vans fargos which ended yo being sized incorrectly for me once the boots packed out. I'm extremely impressed with the Ions, I was a huge skeptic of the speed zone lacing system but after a few days on riding with it, I'm hooked. It's incredibly easy to get in and out of these boots with this lacing system and it actually holds tight. Something i didn't think would happen. The liner in these boots is awesome, I never got them heat moulded so the 1st couple days were not the most comfortable but after that these things feel like slippers. Try them on for yourself. You'll see what i mean.

Other Thoughts: Some things are so awesome that I have to stockpile them. I have perfectly good Ions and at 40% off I couldn't resist buying another pair. They were a little painful to break in because I didn't heat mold them, but after a couple of times riding, they fit perfectly. Great boots, but they are stiff and not very forgiving. Not for a beginner.

Other Thoughts: Best boot i have ever used. The heel is great, the smaller sole est setup is a little different than i am used to, but you get used to it quickly and it isnt a problem. Very comfortable, it is just right in almost every way. Definitely a boot for more advanced riders, but a must have for those riders.
