About the Burton Driver X
The Burton Driver X snowboard boots are for hardcore free-riders who love steep lines and deep powder. It includes some of the best technology Burton has to offer so you can snowboard for as long as you want wherever you want, especially as this boot includes rubber ice spikes for premium grip when hiking.
The Driver X includes Burton's Shrinkage technology which is a reduced footprint of one full size, so a size 11 will have the same footprint as other brands size 10 boots. This opens you up to more board options and helps reduce heel and toe drag when carving. It also has 1:1 lasting so each size shell is made for each size, unlike some brands that just put a thicker liner in a whole size to make their half sizes. This means you get a better fit that doesn't change over time.
The Driver X uses Burton's awesome Speed Zone Lacing which is a quick lace system with upper and lower fastening zones for a quick yet custom fit. This system has been improved with a re-profiling of the lace guides and jam cleats and the addition of New England Rope laces which are virtually indestructible and are unique to Burton. They are so confident about these laces that they come with a lifetime warranty!
The Driver X includes an Imprint 3x liner for added response and comfort while being heat moldable so you can get a perfect fit. Burton and Vibram have made the EcoStep rubber outsole with rubber ice spikes so you won't slip up and keep your feet where they should be. This boot also includes Burton's new sleeping bag reflective foil to reflect heat back towards your foot so you will never get cold feet.
If you're a hard charger or maybe transitioning over from skiing and want a super responsive and supportive boot then the Driver X is the boot for you.
