We recommend Step On® snowboard boots if you’re a casual cruiser with money to spare. But, if you are a hard-core shredder, choose a strap-in option. With that said the Burton Rulers are a good step-on boot ready to do some cruising and freestyle.
The Rulers are comfortable, even though this is subjective; the Imprint 2 heat moldable liner molds to your foot perfectly, making comfort more objective.
If you’re worried about being cold, the Burton Rulers have you covered. These snowboard boots come with a 3M™ Thinsulate™ Insulation for warmth. Plus, an innovative Sleeping Bag Reflective Foil that reflects heat to the feet for all-day warmth.
The Rulers’ response is decent, but some complain of a delayed response due to no heel strap. The Sequence BOA system is alright; it is not a double BOA, so you may lose support in the heel. These are low-profile snowboard boots.
Things we like:
-
Comfortable snowboard boots
