The classic Burton Kendo, long-time rider favorite, is now available in a Step On™ version. Still rocking the trad full-lace closure and mid-stiff flex, but with the added convenience of the Step On™ binding interface (Step On™ binding required). The heat-moldable Imprint™ 3 liners with Focus cuffs strike the perfect balance between support and comfort and give you impeccable heel hold, so precision in your riding doesn't get any better.
Medium Flex: 5-8 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) – A balance of quick edge engagement and a more forgiving, playful feel. Great for all-around riders.
FIT -
1:1 Firm Flex PowerUP Tongue – Burton offers 1:1 lasting on every boot. It means every half and full size shell, tongue, and out sole offer a precise fit that is not as common as one would think. Drop your loot on a Burton boot and you won't be stuck with the slop of a mismatched shell and liner. PowerUP tongues feature additional dual-density material for rebound and durability.
GripLITE Backstay – Creates a snug interface between the boot and the highback. Made of rubber, the Backstay also shaves weight off the boot. The result is a more direct energy transfer from boot to binding to board for reduced rider fatigue.
Articulating Cuff – Allowing the upper and lower zones of the boot to flex independently creates fluid forward motion, minimizes shell distortion, and maximizes heel hold and response.
Total Comfort Construction – Get an instantly broken-in feel right out of the box. Total Comfort's industry-exclusive construction eliminates the break-in period for a fit that feels just as good from day 1 to day 100.
LINER -
Imprint™ 3 Liner – DryRIDE Heat Cycle™ Lining | Focus Cuff Heel Hold System with Velcro® J-Bar Interface and Inner Lace Lock | Plush Cuff 1.0 (women's only) | Lightweight Power Panels | Velcro® Liner Closure | Level 2 Molded EVA Footbed with ESS Support Shank and Aegis™ Antimicrobial Coating | Heat-Moldable
DryRide Heat Cycle™ Lining – Warmth and wicking are two key traits for on-snow comfort. Burton's breathable inner-lining technology utilizes interwoven thermally activated carbon thread to capture, radiate, and reflect body heat inward to keep feet warmer while also wicking heat-robbing moisture outward. Look for varying amounts and performance level of each liner.
LACING SYSTEM -
Traditional Lacing – No fancy wires, reels, or handles, just a couple of old school laces for that tried and true feel and customized fit.
Metal Speed Hooks
SOLE -
AutoCANT Cushioning – Dual‑density EVA allows your foot to settle into a more natural and relaxed position, resulting in improved comfort, reduced fatigue, and smoother, more direct board control.
Recycled Content Rubber
Step On™ EST® Outsole – EST® goes beyond bindings by drawing inspiration from the surf/skate heritage of snowboarding and giving you a more direct connection to your board. By eliminating the ramp angle of your outsole, EST lowers your center of gravity, improves board feel, and creates a more surf/skate-like feel.
ADDITIONAL FEATURES -
Snow-Proof Internal Gusset – All Burton boot tongues feature an internal gusset construction to completely seal the lower zone of the boot, keeping your feet warm and dry.
Sleeping Bag Reflective Foil – This low-profile and lightweight underfoot technology reflects heat back to the feet, improving both warmth and comfort when faced with cold conditions.

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 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.
