Burton: Men's Ruler Snowboard Boot

Reign supreme in the park, on the mountain and above the backcountry with this easy-flexing all-terrain Burton Ruler snowboard boot. This season Burton tweaked their heat-moldable Imprint 2 liner without taking away customizable refinements like the Quick-Fit Lacing Harness. While the Ruler is rated with moderate stiffness that exceeds the bestselling Moto, it features the same Speed Zone lacing system with upper and lower zones of flex for a range of motion that surpasses other mid-level boots claiming similar performance characteristics. The Ruler also retained the micro articulating cuff that adds extra mobility and support without any fiddly adjustments. Because you can adjust the Burton Ruler with multiple options, it tends to be the favorite pick among intermediate and advanced riders who cover the most terrain, especially those who own several snowboards. If you don't need the extra refinements found in the Imprint 2 liner, check out the bestselling Burton Moto.
