Help choose burton boot:) - Snowboarding Forum

Hey guys.

I had 2009 Ion boots and had a good offer ... sold them yesterday

Now i am bootless

As i go some more days of snow i am torn between buy and rent...

I am getting nike kaijus next year so i would like some boots for the remaining season.

Must be burton as i can get them at great price and know the size so ordering is easy..

I want a all mountain boot , and i really liked the Ions.

I am looking for a size 10 boot for my 210 pounds...

I have the following list:

Rampant

Hail

Ambush

Imperial

Ion

I am afraid the rampant, ambush and hail will be too soft... I would like a cheap boot so i can sell when i get the nikes.

But in the other hand getting them at 50% off i might stretch a bit and go for the ion or imperial.

any opinions ?

thanks

Where can you get em for 50% off?

I was also thinking Imperial and Ion's. The other 3 would be too soft.
But then again, the remaining season is short so by the time they pack out, the season will be over anyway.

If you plan on keeping them and want more stiffness, get the Imperial or Ion.

A friend of mine has a snow store here in Portugal.

And any opinions between the imperial and the ion?

thanks

Ok talked to my friend.

In number 10 there are:

Ion

GRAIL

HAIL

Imperial ( but i dont like the blue...)

Is hail a noodle? Is grail a good boot? at ion level?

i would prefer laces but i like the ion looks more

thanks
