These have to be the most versatile boots in the Burton range. The all-mountain men's Ruler Black boots are THE safe bet for any intermediate to advanced level riders and will even work well for the most nervous of beginners. If you choose Burton Ruler boots you'll get pure snowboarding joy everywhere you go. The Imprint 2 liner offers guaranteed comfort. The Total Comfort construction adapts to your shape from the very first ride. There'll be no unpleasant pinch points to hinder your progress. The Ruler boots perform in a similar way to the Burton Ions but are much more affordable. There's no compromise on the quality of the riding though. The Speed Zone system lacing means you can fine tune how tight the upper and lower section of the boots are independently. The Ruler protects from the cold, is shock absorbent and will generally be your greatest ally wherever your adventures take you: off piste, snowpark, black run, backcountry - you'll do it all full throttle!
