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 3-D 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 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. |
