Whatever about renting skis and snowboards, having your own comfortable boots means a lot less faffing in the rental shop and a lot more hygiene.
And if you choose the men’s Burton Ion boot (€320), you’ll get a lot more comfort and performance as well.
Heat moulding in conjunction with the new Ion’s upper wrap Asym Cuff optimises fit and comfort while the ultra-light Mesh Skin reduces weight and increases durability.
The new EST midsole also aims to lower your centre of gravity for a closer connection with your board. And Burton has even shrunk the boot’s footprint by one full size, eliminating overhang for those with big feet.
