Burton Ion 2020

The 2020 Burton Ion snowboard boot is a favourite of the Burton team and aggressive riders due to its stiff flex and total comfort resulting in an incredibly lightweight, high performance, precise feeling boot. Ride harder for longer with the AutoCANT EST soles naturally aligning your lower body for reduced fatigue, while the ReBounce tech keeps you warm by reflecting heat back to your feet, as well as absorbing impacts from aggressive riding. For hard charging riders who don’t want to sacrifice comfort, the Ion is always a top pick.

Boot Type: All-Mountain

Boot Flex (1 = soft / 10 = stiff): 8/10

Lacing System: Speed Zone

Burton’s Speed-Zone Lacing consists of two independent zones controlled by two separate laces, allowing you to customise your fit with ease and get in and out of your boot in record time. Burton exclusively use New England Ropes for their Speed Zone and Boa laces, which are used by stunt men, firefighters, and rescue teams, so you know you can count on them.

Fit: 1:1 Lasting

Burton offers 1:1 lasting on every boot, which means every half and full size shell, tongue, and outsole fit perfectly with the liner, offering an ideal fit for every size.

Total Comfort Construction

Total Comfort Construction is a Burton exclusive technology which helps eliminate the break-in period for you boots, giving you an instantly comfortably boot right out of the box that feels just as good from day 1 to day 100.

Liner: Life Liner

The Burton Life Liner fuses lightweight materials with a more relaxed feel for multi-season comfort, high-end performance, and a fit that is better for a wider variety of foot shapes, and features a durable and responsive PU tongue for speedy response and long lasting consistent performance. The Life Liner features the Burton Tuff Cuff, which increases heel hold and wraps the ankle with medial and lateral support while still flexing freely from toe to heel.

DryRide Heat Cycle Lining

This breathable inner-lining technology utilises interwoven thermally activated carbon thread to capture, radiate, and reflect body heat inward to keep feet warmer while also wicking heat-robbing moisture outward.

Cushioning / Outsole:

EST Optimised Midsole

EST isn’t just specific to bindings. This boot features a recycled rubber content outsole with an EST Optimised Midsole, which has a lower profile, lighter weight, and a reduced ramp angle for a more direct connection to your binding without sacrificing any cushioning.

Shrinkage Footprint Reduction Technology

This boot features Burtons exclusive Shrinkage Footprint Reduction Technology, which reduces the footprint of your boot closer to a size below while still fitting like your correct size, helping to eliminate toe and heel drag without sacrificing comfort.

AutoCANT Cushioning

AutoCANT Cushioning consists of dual density EVA that allows your foot to settle into a more natural and relaxed position, reducing pain and fatigue, and improving your comfort, power, and response.

ReBOUNCE Cushioning

This Burton-exclusive technology brings the cushion closer to your foot, placing it within the shell of your boot for an added layer of impact protection directly below your foot. This is wrapped in a heat-reflective material that keeps the cushioning consistent even in freezing temperatures.

Sleeping Bag Reflective Foil

This lightweight, low profile technology reflects heat back into your feet, improving warmth and comfort in colder conditions.
