The Good Ride TakeThe Burton Supreme Advanced to Expert All Mountain Snowboard Boot ReviewIf you ride allot and/or have allot of money then the Burton Supreme of the best boots you can ride. After lot's of days on this boot we haven't found any major flaws and it continues to ride very close to how it was when it was new. It's taking snowboarding to the skiing price levels.
Flex-In the old days before 2010 the Supreme was pretty stiff compared to how it is now.. The 2010 boot was the first attempt at making the boot soft and in our opinion it was a time for learning. This is the only year we won't back this boot. The tongue would fold on a forward lean causing a pressure point on the front part of your ankle which should never happen for a boot of this price. In 2011 and 2012 this issue was fixed with a little stiffer flex and rubber guards on the liner where it use to fold. We were skeptical with this tech but after riding it we aren't any more.
Comfort- The Burton Supreme really fits like a glove and is almost pressure point free on the first day. This goes for every year we tried except for 2010 and aside from that one pressure point at the ankle the boot was very comfortable. You don't have to bring your old boots up on the first day like you do with many other new boots because most riders will not have a break in period with them. In 2012 the SUPREME has newer tech/design to make this break in period even easier.
Heel Hold-For all Burton boots the heel hold has vastly improved from past years but the Supreme was always pretty awesome when it came to keeping your heels in place. Before you needed the J-Bars to completely eliminate heel lift but now you almost don't need them unless your ankle is really tiny. It allows the Burton Boot to cater to many different riders.
Upper and Lower Adjustability-The dual zone lacing system is the best out there. The only thing you cant do is individually adjust the top rungs like you can with some traditional lace boots but this is pretty minor because the Supreme's lacing is so good you won't really think about that. The 2011 and 2012 models laces are much more durable. The 2010 Supreme's laces had to be replaced every 50-70 days but now the new laces are good for at least 100 days without any sign of wear.
Response-This boot can adapt to many different conditions depending on how you tighten it. The edge to edge response is incredibly predictable. The only boot that could have better edge to edge transitioning is the Ion but it’s a coin toss and up to your personal preference. The rebound rods in the boot liners are actually worth mentioning. They are supposed to help you transition from edge to edge and it actually works. Most womens boots have the lower quality liners in but the Supreme actually has the second best liner Burton makes. Since this is the top of the line Burton boot we'd like to see their best liner but this will do.
Traction-This boot's traction does fine in any type of snow or ice but will not perform as well as the driver x if your hiking back country. This boot is also really light compared to other boots.
Sole Cushioning- The sole cushioning is minimal compared to some of the other boots out there. They want more feel but they have made improvements over the last few seasons when it comes to cushioning. It's made to be low to the board and provide shock absorption when needed. They aren't chattery or tough on the feet but they just aren't super paded.
The Burton Supreme boots of almost any year integrate perfectly with any bindings and any board. If you have the cash or can find a closeout go for it.
The Good Ride Take on Articulating Cuffs- If you don't know what an articulating cuff is the upper and lower panels of the boot are separate. The top cuff is only attached at the back and then wraps around the front. When you flex forward it doesn't stretch out the boot and over time it stays closer to its original shape and stiffness. It also creates a more natural and comfortable forward flex when riding. It can be made to be stiff or very soft and is generally more comfortable than a standard boot. We love this tech! The Good Ride Take on Speed Lace- Almost as fast as BOA and more adjustable. Some people, especially the 100 day + riders aren't 100% sold on the speed lacing system. If the laces break out on the hill it will be a lot more difficult to fix than traditional laces but it can be done without help from a shop or sending it back. That being said the speed lacing system is quite amazing compared to the traditional lace. It takes 3 times more effort to tighten up a traditional lace boot and 3 times more effort to lace up in the morning. So it is a give and take kind of thing with speed lace vs. traditional. We mainly ride speed lace boots but we aren't that high on ourselves to say that's the way it should be. It’s completely up to your personal preference. The Good Ride Take on Burton Burton is huge. They have developed or acquired most of the technology that we use today. Burton is one of the only companies that can provide you with everything you need to snowboard from boards to beanies. Burton even owns arguably the best surfboard company Channel Islands because Jake likes to surf. They are like the Yankees of snowboarding because they can always outspend their competition to win. The positives- Burton provides more products for each gear/clothing/accessory category than any other company. Burton has possibly the best customer service in the snowboarding industry. Burton continuously spends more money than almost any company to develop new tech or just make what they have better. Burton sponsors more pro’s and get’s more high level user feed back than any other company. They have some of the best boots, bindings and boards in the industry. They also have great clothing. The Negatives- Because Burton spends so much money on sponsorship and tech they have to pass this cost along to the products they sell. They relentlessly continue to jack up the prices every year. You are almost always going to get a good product from Burton’s higher end line but some mid to low level products don’t stack up to the competition in the same price range. Just remember it’s not always good because it hast the Burton label on it. Company InfoBurton Supreme 2012Burton SUPREME The reigning queen of comfort.
