Ride Riot 08 Vs Burton Ion 08 - Snowboarding Forum

Hey all, gday from Oz. Tried to post a hello in the welcome section but wouldn't do it..

Need some advice on the above boots. I'm working a season this year and want super comfy boots. I've tried both of these on and they both do the job perfectly. Can get them at the same price too, so I'm hoping someone can give me some feedback to help me make the choice??

Keep up the top forum!!

Cheers,

Jez

If neither one is more comfortable than the other, and they're both really comfortable, then the burtons. I've had much better luck with burton durability.

Ride boots have a better liner in it than Burtons. The intuition liner will let you mold it to any shape you want, while the foam burton uses just craps out too fast.

Well I ended up getting the boots which were very tight fitting in the shop and have been wearing them evryday for 3 days and they have packed out a little in length, but they're still just too damn tight and my foot goes numb after 10 minutes.. Tried heat moulding, but that didn't help so gonna have to bring em back and try again.. Unlucky!
