This item is currently sold out or unavailable online.

For your reference, this page contains historical product information.

The Burton Ion has been straight-up reinvented—ridden by Burton and non-Burton pros alike, it's an entirely new animal.

  • New EST™ midsoles lower your center of gravity for a closer connection with your board; B3 gel inserts cushion your feet
  • New Rx Adjustable Cushioning lets you switch your suspension between the cush of gel and the responsiveness of air
  • Shrinkage technology reduces boot's overall footprint, minimizing boot overhang
  • Imprint 4 EVA liners wrap your feet in comfort; they'll conform to your feet after a few days of riding or you can custom mold them at your local shop
  • Liners also feature long-lasting polyurethane energy panels, an antimicrobial coating, sock-lock fabric and J-bar heel holds
  • Getting your boots on and off should be easier than having a baby—EZ-entry panels reduce friction as the heel enters and exits your boot
  • Thin-profile 3D molded tongues wrap the forefeet, for seamless flex, and reduce performance-robbing shell/liner stack-up
  • Power Spine™ 2.0 backstays increase medial/lateral support, edge-to-edge response and durability
  • Outlast® Adaptive Comfort™ Technology in the liners and footbeds regulate temperature spikes by storing and releasing heat only when needed
  • Supercuffs hold liners securely around feet without the hassle of a strap; upper and lower cuffs flex independently for maximum heel hold
  • Molded EVA footbeds provide heel and arch support, lessening the blow of hardpack landings
  • Streamlined Speed Zone™ shell lacing system lets you fine-tune the fit quickly and easily; customize the upper and lower zones in a matter of seconds
  • Dual-density grippy rubber spikes let you scale the slipperiest slopes like Spider Man; stiffer spikes dig into ice when slipping isn't an option

Please note: Burton products can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.

Imported.

Comments about Burton Ion Snowboard Boots:

Boots are nice and light, look great! Good and very easy lacing system. My problem with these boots was the liner pushed down on the top of my toes and cut off circulation, with in turn caused my toes to freeze after about 2 hours of riding. If you buy these boots you will probably want to put in some custom footbeds, as the bottoms of my feet also hurt. I know a lot of people that love these boots, just didn't work for me. Went with the 32 prospects and they fit much better and are even lighter for $200 less.

  • Gift:
  • No
  • Sizing:
  • Feels half size too small
  • Width:
  • Feels true to width

    Comments about Burton Ion Snowboard Boots:

    This boot is amazing! the only down fall is that i had to get used to the lacing system and how to lock in the lace and unlock the lace. The are so comfortable though! When my foot is inside these boots they feel as if they just fit to every inch of my foot and ankle. No slippage (which is hard to believe in a men's snowboard boot), and i feel as if i'm just wearing a big tennis shoe in the fact that it feels like nothing is on my feet. This boot is worth trying on and feeling it for yourself... just a warning though once you put it on you will never go to another snowboard boot! Love it! I will never go back to ski boots again! ( i should add in that i am a girl wearing men's boots because they don't make girls' boots in my size, but these are still awesome boots)

    Service and delivery comments:

    My service at REI as i was trying on a million boots was wonderful. He was very patient and if he didn't know the answer to my millions of questions he found either someone that knew the answer or found the info out online/or in the product guide!
