These boots are super comfortable. I’ve had mine for 3 seasons now and I’d have to say these are the best if you like to have some play. These boots aren’t super stiff either.

Bring back the almighty or at least throw a life liner in

Not as good as the almighty was, the imprint 3 liner will never compete to the life liner that the almighty boots used to have. For the price and the lightweight weave design, I would still say these are the best boot option from Burton for all around riding. Trust me you won't regret them, I am just disappointed they do not use the life liner anymore.#sweepstakes

Comfy, soft, and arrived fast

I’ve only ridden these once but I’m quite satisfied after sending back a few DC judges due to boa defects. They’re comfy for my feet, had the flex I wanted, and moose jaw shipped them super fast. I’m stoked.

Great heel hold, comfortable boot

I bought these boots in 2020 and tried them on at home immediately. The fit is tight but comfortable. Switching to boots with heat-molded liners is likely one of the best decisions I have ever made. I finally got to ride the boot this season (2022) on the East coast as well as a trip out West to Colorado and they ride great with really good snappy but comfortable feel. As you ride it does "loosen" up a bit, as it molds to your foot, which in turn gives a little better control.My previous boots gave me terrible instep pain and my foot would numb, this has not entirely gone away but gotten much better. The double BOA gives you a great amount of control with how tight the boot goes. I have relatively skinny shins but a high instep so I am able to keep the top system ... MoreI bought these boots in 2020 and tried them on at home immediately. The fit is tight but comfortable.

The double BOA gives you a great amount of control with how tight the boot goes. I have relatively skinny shins but a high instep so I am able to keep the top system a little tighter than the bottom. My old boots also gave me pretty bad outer ankle pain because they stopped holding my ankle at all. These linings feel like someone is pinching your ankle right below your bone which creates a really steady hold.The only thing I have to say is they run just a tad bit small. I normally wear a 10.5 boot size and these ram my toes the slightest bit too much by the end of the day.The outer design is also pretty cool and looks like fabric differing from the traditional leather/plastic look of other boots.

Nice lightweight boots

Lightweight flexible boots. BOA thing works great, allows for small adjustments. So far wore it once for about 4 hrs at the resort, no issues or discomfort at all. Fits true to size.

Swath Boa

Fantastic boots .Love the boa system .The fit in my cartel x bindings is amazing which is what you expect when they are designed by the same company I supposeA bit stiffer than I expected but Im happy with that given my advancing years. My friends think I'm mad returning to snowboarding for a retirement sport but what else are you supposed to do when the trout streams are closed?

Swath is a good one.

Have three days on these now - two powder, one a good park day. Bought a half size up - normally an 8.5, bought 9, which seems right for me. Didn't have them heat molded. At first it felt like they were going to pinch the achilles, but didn't notice any discomfort when riding from any part of the boot. For me, no break-in time at all.I haven't been riding them very locked down and have been letting the bindings keep the heels in, and haven't dealt with any heel lift or other problems I've had with recent boots. They seem like they can function as soft boots if you don't crank the boas, but could get pretty rigid if you needed them to. I.e. seem great for a sloppy park day and can double duty for hard/fast ripping. Even if you ride them soft, they seem plenty ... MoreHave three days on these now - two powder, one a good park day.

Even if you ride them soft, they seem plenty responsive.Binding fit in medium sized Malavita ESTs is a bit snug but not problematic - better than too loose in the bindings. Other recent boots are ThirtyTwo TM2 and a pair of Motos.

The Flex is very Soft, they broke in too easily

THE GOOD: The boot is comfortable and very lightTHE BAD:To me, I feel that the flex is waaaay to soft than Medium, maybe on the same level with the Moto (which is an entry level boot) and this is a drawback.The "Medium" Power Up tongue broke in very fast, in the 4th day of riding. Very disappointed here :(BOA lacing system works OK, but doesn't offer the same support and full upper zone tightness like Speed Zone. PS: Speed Zone works better for me!The Ultraweave Shell Material is very nice and offers a slick look. But in the same short period, I noticed though a bit of packing of the material and teardown from the binding's straps at the line of the articulated cuff.

This boot makes be better

The heal lock on the Swath is better than I've ever experienced. I tried on every boot in REI and the choice was easy, this was the best for my foot by far! And after riding with the Swatch 3 days at Snowbird and 3 days at Steamboat,I can 100% say that I'm a better snowboarder because of this boot. With this amount of control the trees at Steamboat are so fun!

Worn since winter '21 - Great boot that's still going strong

Been wearing these since winter '21 and they are still going strong. Very comfortable and broken in. Mid flex works with any riding style and gives my feet enough room to handle a full day on the mountain.A little wear at the top of my boot where my board sits while on the chairlift. Bad habit of mine.Boa lacing system can come undone at times which is expected going into my 4th year with these. I'm not gentle with these boots and I would recommend them to anyone.
