Strength:
extremely light, comfortable
Weakness:
not as supportive as the 2003 ruler these boots are extremely comfortable, and unbelievably light. but, when i rode in them, they were horrible, too much heel lift, not enough stiffness, difficult to tighten laces. Similar Products Used: burton ruler 01 - 03 |

Strength:
-warm -comfortable -laces are great because they are flexable and so they keep tight.
Weakness:
-price -the puller on the back, so you can get your boots on, sometimes it rips. It still works though. the boots are great...........except for the price. I usually dont buy burton buy i had to make an exception for these boots. They are really comfortable and are very warm. They are a little stiffer but they are great. |

Strength:
light, super stiff, comfortable, no heel lift, water proof, great looking. what else can you ask for in a boot?
Weakness:
only weakness could be the price. $280 for boots is quite steep. if you find these boots for sale definitely get them. its worth it. good luck finding a pair toward the end of the season. the laces also felt kinda cheap when i was trying them on, but im told they are by far better then regular laces. First these boots are lighter then any other boots i have ever had in my hands. they are super light. these boots were the most comfortable boots ive wore. they actually feel kinda like sneakers. ive always had problems with heel lift with other boots, but i had none at all with these. these boots are really stiff, just the way i like a boot to be. if the boot is a bit too stiff for you there is a tongue insert you can remove to get more flex in the tongue. great boot that kept my feet warm all day long. the inner liner rocks. you can tighten the sucker as much as you want to get the right feel.

Strength:
The most comfortable boot i have ever used. The 4d matrix liner is awesome. No heel lift due to the heel-cup. Awesome inner lace system keeps boots snug. Light as hell - feels like i have slippers on with no bulkiness. Warm, dry and the gel tongue and inserts work real well. Total comfort and control in these babies - i love them, literally.
Weakness:
None really. Maybe price? - retails at $280 which is fairly expensive, but they are worth it. (i didn''t think i would ever say that about a burton product!) The very best boot i have ever used - suprisingly, as i am not usually a burton fan. But these boots blew me away! Similar Products Used: Salomon Mals - awesome boots. Heelside somethings - average at best. Forum ATE - crap! felt like i was moonwalking in those things and they must weigh approx. 273lbs. |

Best boot i''ve ever worn.Try this boot on and you will see for yourself why this is by far the best boot ever made. U will never have to take these boots off while on the slopes, even when u are going in to grab something to eat your feet will be perfect, like u are wearing sneakers! Getting in and out of this boot is so easy due to the satin put on the back of the liner.GENIUS! Heel lift doesn''t even exist on these boots, there is like a suction cup at the heel that just holds your heel in place. These boots are extremely comfortable and have incredible performance. U can adjust the stiffnes through removing the tongue stiffner(RAF). I can''t express how comfy these are. Try them on and you will buy them, heck u will even drive home in them. And if u suffer from toe drag these will definatly shorten your shoe size cause burton really tries to make their boots as short in size as possible. If u can still manage to get your hands on a pair of these get em cause they won''t be around for long. Customer Service Any one who has had burton knows they have the best customer support out there. Similar Products Used: Airwalk Butte, Airwalk C4''s |
