Burton driver x 09

The upper and lower adjustability with speed lace is the best quick lace systems. You can also tighten up the boot incredibly tight and have the minimal pressure points. These hard plastic handles are easier to store in their pouches, helps you crank the laces harder and easier than the old synthetic leather grips.

Response : Even though the Driver X is softer the response is almost the same as it was in the days before the softening trend. This can bend almost any board torsionally.

These boots seem to be a little more slippery walking on those ice patches on the way to the mountain. However the grip in softer snow is awesome. Also hiking up steep trails through tracks or setting your own is awesome.

There is some serious cushioning riding on top of hat thick spikey Vibram sole and it gives alot of shock absorption at higher speeds or on big jumps.

All in all the Driver X is a great boot for someone who wants the most response Burton has for making stiffer boards turn in critical situations. Submit your product review. These boots work the best for me , my riding style and abilities. They are pretty stiff and stable which makes it easy to edge to edge and rail turns effortlessly , Because i like my boots firm to tight feeling when riding i have to speed lace them when i get to the top of mtn then when i walk off the mtn have to loosen them.

I noticed every yr they improved the design lil by lil and now with lifetime replacement for the laces makes them even better. Check em out if they fit your foot you'll be stoked! After 2 months of good riding my boot looks new but the liner has worn in the archilles heel on both liners.

The Driver X are best suited to anyone looking for the stiffest boots they can find without going to hard boots. Anyone looking for that ultimate in support and carving and want something that can drive their stiff flexing board hard.

Conditions: Hard packed. Definitely not icy though. Just nice. Off groomer isn't ideal but certainly doable. Again firm, but not icy. Sunny and perfect vis. Supposed to be -4 and with wind chill, but feels much warmer than that. Probably cause it's so sunny Was fresh snow overnight but not obvious when actually riding.

But still pretty darn good. Can't complain. Heaviest were grams and lightest were grams. Stiffer boots tend to be heavier, so for their flex, they are quite light. Width: A little wider than medium. Not super wide but just a little more width there than the average boot. True to Size?

And even though you've got to put it in to get it out, it's not a crazy amount of effort you've got to drive into them. Certainly not as good in terms of maneuverability at slower speeds vs my test boots Vans Aura , but that was definitely to be expected.

And didn't feel like complete planks at slower speed - you could still ride at slow speeds, without feeling like you were just going to tip over. I found there was a bit of lift there, but nothing crazy.
