It makes sense that one of the most responsive boots on the planet would have a Step On option: what's the point of instantaneous inputs and maximum response if it's all going to be lost in the slop of straps? The Burton Ion Step On Snowboard Boots eliminate the hassle of straps and let you have a real sole-ful connection with your board. Just step on and slide off. The Ion comes in a firm flex with extra heel retention from the Snugger Strap, so just because its super easy to use, don't think for a second that it's not a responsive, high performing all-mountain boot. This one's definitely worthy of the classic name Ion!
