Words "support" and "Burton Rulers" should not be used in the same sentence.

Yeah, you're right. I have no clue about Burton products. (sarcasm alert!!!!)

For a kid who is buying his first pair of boots, is 16 years old, probably trying to save a buck, and likely weighs less than 150 pounds......the Rulers are fine (and supportive).

anthonybsd

I had suffered in Rulers for a year and a half, and I'm trying to make sure he doesn't share that fate. And yes, you have no clue.

Boys, let's keep this civil shall we? If it doesn't, I'm gonna give it the lockey-lock, got it?

magickrate

well u got it well ill be turning 17 in oct and i do weigh less then 150
so basically it is matter of opinion of the boot
im giong to the store tomarrow soo il see what the salesmen says about the boots ill let u know later tomarrow what pair of boots i got

boarderaholic

Remember, just be careful of what you believe when the salesman talks. Don't buy it just because he/she is stoked on the product, buy it because it's what YOU like.

magickrate

yea i know if i dont like it im buying other boots

I knew it, you secretly are all knowing in the ways of K2!

banffbadass

I can't tell you much about K2, but I know enough not to recommend Driver X boots to someone for their first pair of boots!!!! That's the most retarded advice I've ever heard.

The burtons I've ridden have plenty of support, but they do soften up. But that's the way I like it. I hate a stiff set-up that restricts my movement. The speed lace is great, but I have had problems with the first generation lace guides ripping out after only 25 days. They have recessed the guide into the boot so it's less prone to fail, well see. The nice thing is you can get good ankle support by tightening the lower zone but still keep the top loose for surfing. In the end, if you want a ski boot, oops I mean stiff boot, then burtons may not be the best choice. It really depends on how you like to roll.
