The design/fit is fantastic, but this is the worst quality booth I have ever experienced, After just one single season, they are completely falling apart. Not just worn in one spot, seams splitting and inner booth just dissolving. In my 25 years of snowboarding, never experienced anything this poor, If you plan on using them more than 10 days total AVOID AVOID AVOID.

+4 stars looks great, easy to put on, easy to strap, feels save, necessary flexibility-1 star because the fit of the boot does not match the size recommendation by Burton.Normally I have a 42.5, the recommendation based on Mondo was smaller. I did not follow the advice and ordered my common size 42.5. That size was way too small. Then I ordered a 43.5 based on a store recommendation even this size is a little tight in the front (when standing straight). I was playing with the thought to reorder once again a 44 but I did not because I think it is a new boot and it will be softer after couple of rides. But if you don't like that your toes touch the front a little then buy a boot +1.5 your normal size.FYI - tried the boots with “Men's Burton Performance + ...

I just ordered these boots, haven't had them long enough to try but I did try them on and from what I know over my years of writing these things look incredible and I can't wait to get them on the snow. I'll put them through the ringer this year and I'm confident they will have no problems holding up with these.Shipping was crazy fast, always a positive buying experience with moosejaw.

Not as good as the almighty was, the imprint 3 liner will never compete to the life liner that the almighty boots used to have. For the price and the lightweight weave design, I would still say these are the best boot option from Burton for all around riding. Trust me you won't regret them, I am just disappointed they do not use the life liner anymore.#sweepstakes
They started off very comfortable but after breaking in they developed a hard spot that pushed on my ankle bone. Cuts my day short now because of the pain. My left boot also engages completely different than my right boot. The heel will click when switching from heel to toe and upon further inspection I noticed that the boots have two complete different heel cleats. Using a straight edge there is a 3-4mm difference of where they sit on the boot and how they engage with the binding. I can’t believe this would pass QC. Very disappointed in these $400 boots..
I've ridden them 3 days and they're starting to feel broken in, but they are very uncomfortable still. There are pretty harsh pressure points from the liners on the insides of the ankles. And for being so uncomfortable, they're not that stiff. I read a 7.5 stiffness rating somewhere, but I'd say they're more like a 6.My last boot, the Ride Fuses, felt like they had much more control and stiffness despite a lower stiffness rating (7). (I'll note that the ride Fuses are extremely uncomfortable and cause a lot of numbness, so the Burtons are a huge step up in comfort).On the plus side, the boas are nice and convenient. The traction on the soles is excellent. And these boots go on and come off quite easily.
I like the laces on these boots and the look of them with the "scales" on the toe are pretty cool. I don't think these are the most comfortable boots and I get pressure on the top of my foot when I flex down with my knees over my toes. I'm hoping they'll still break in but will definitely be considering insoles or something to help with the foot pain. With the product reviews being so high on these Burton Ions I would have to give great caution buying into the idea these are "the best" boots. Try some on and most definitely have them molded to fit in store.

Have three days on these now - two powder, one a good park day. Bought a half size up - normally an 8.5, bought 9, which seems right for me. Didn't have them heat molded. At first it felt like they were going to pinch the achilles, but didn't notice any discomfort when riding from any part of the boot. For me, no break-in time at all.I haven't been riding them very locked down and have been letting the bindings keep the heels in, and haven't dealt with any heel lift or other problems I've had with recent boots. They seem like they can function as soft boots if you don't crank the boas, but could get pretty rigid if you needed them to. I.e. seem great for a sloppy park day and can double duty for hard/fast ripping. Even if you ride them soft, they seem plenty ... MoreHave three days on these now - two powder, one a good park day.

I.e. seem great for a sloppy park day and can double duty for hard/fast ripping. Even if you ride them soft, they seem plenty responsive.Binding fit in medium sized Malavita ESTs is a bit snug but not problematic - better than too loose in the bindings. Other recent boots are ThirtyTwo TM2 and a pair of Motos.
THE GOOD: The boot is comfortable and very lightTHE BAD:To me, I feel that the flex is waaaay to soft than Medium, maybe on the same level with the Moto (which is an entry level boot) and this is a drawback.The "Medium" Power Up tongue broke in very fast, in the 4th day of riding. Very disappointed here :(BOA lacing system works OK, but doesn't offer the same support and full upper zone tightness like Speed Zone. PS: Speed Zone works better for me!The Ultraweave Shell Material is very nice and offers a slick look. But in the same short period, I noticed though a bit of packing of the material and teardown from the binding's straps at the line of the articulated cuff.
