By taking inspiration straight from the skate park, Deeluxe's DNA Snowboard Boots are the ultimate pair for thrashing the streets or the resort's terrain park. The base of the boot features a super-gr more→ippy Skate Flex sole, providing the board feel for freestyle riding on and off the mountain. The Jib Tongue is thin, providing a direct boot-to-binding connection for enhanced power transfer without stiffening the boot. The hybrid lacing system is the icing on top, with a BOA Fit System dial locking our heel in place and traditional laces providing a customizable fit with reliable, old-school tech.

The Burton Ritual LTD Step On Snowboard Boots feel especially high-end—because they are. First and foremost, Step On technology secures these boots right to our bindings, no straps required, for a qui more→ck connection that's just as solid as its counterparts. They're made with Burton's lightest materials, so we feel lighter and fly higher when hitting jumps and sending it off side-hits.

Burton's heat-moldable Imprint 3 liner feels excellent right out of the box, and the low-profile sole keeps us closer to our board for even more intuitive riding.
