Burton: Women's Mint Snowboard Boots

The simple combination of comfort and quality features at an exceptional price adds up to pure success for the all-mountain freestyle Women's Mint. In fact, according to Burton for the last six years this model has remained the world's bestselling women's snowboard boot. That makes sense when you consider the features and easy-flexing support. The Mint offers Burton's proven and popular Speed Zone Lacing, which Burton claims (possibly quite rightly so) is the fastest and easiest lacing system currently available to snowboarders. While most high-end boot closures allow you to adjust independently the upper and lower (zonal) tension, Burton's Speed Zone Lacing can be adjusted in seconds while waiting in lift lines or for your friends to catch up. Inside the Mint you'll find Burton's Imprint 1 liner with their female-specific True Fit design for women. It's a heat moldable liner that's slightly pre-molded at the factory to help ensure an out-of-the-box fit. There's also integrated lacing loops to help secure the liner to the outer boot shell. So do the math. If you're on a budget but still want a comfortable and supportive snowboard boot, the Mint is one of the easiest purchase decisions you'll make this season.
