I definitely want to pick up some burton boots, but having a hard time choosing between the ruler, the ion and the imperial. I'm riding a lib-tech trs 159 with either cartel or prohpecy bindings

Demo of the three will help you decide which will fit you perfectly.

Why would you limit yourself to just burton? Try on a lot of different brands.

^^^I was wondering that myself.

The boot that fits your foot is the boot that you want. I'll take a great fitting Lamar boot over a poorly fitting Burton boot any day.

Also, Burton boots do have the rep of breaking down quicker than most. FWIW.

From my experience Burton makes a nice boot that fit wide feet really well. The problem I have with them is that they do not fit every binding well. For expample burton ambush and union atlas not a good match. In my opinion burton makes good boots, but better bootes when paird with their bindings.
