Burton truly considered comfort in this snowboarding boots design. They’ve made the tongue in each different sized boot to fit 1 to 1, which allows comfort and anatomical matches to everyone’s foot. Every part of this boot was made to accommodate different curvatures and flex profiles, from the baseplate through to the liners.

Imprint liners inside the Burton Mint make it ready to ride without break-in, and a molded EVA footbed that’s heat-moldable allows for a lightweight custom fit.

Traditional lace-ups usually separate the tongue from the eyestays, but not in the Team Two Stevens.

J bars are built into the liner to further hold the heel in place, so you stay in complete control of your board.

Like most of DC’s snowboarding shoes, their Unilite tech makes the outsole of this shoe.

Intuition Liner
Within the Avid Technical lies the Intuition Sport boot liner, created from ULTRALON EVA foam, making it incredibly durable, moldable, and with flexibility to allow for movements critical for chucking quick turns. If you’re on the mountain or backcountry for full day after day wear, rest assured you’ll step out of the Avid Technical with dry feet, and less cramping. The liner conforms to the foot on the interior, and in a three-dimensional manner, also to the boot shell on the exterior.

Lamination and coatings are the foundation of the Vans Hi-Standard OG 2019 weatherproofing found on the exterior of the snowboarding boots, assuring that you stay warm and dry in even the coldest temperatures. These line the boot shell fabric, creating breathability and durability during wear.

The Vans Hi-Standard OG 2019 is great for all levels of snowboarders. Its price point is slightly more expensive than some brands, but for a good reason. A grippy lug outsole provides traction, anti-microbial technology helps against bacterial growth, and the overall construction of the boot guarantees protection. A sure win for those looking to go long and hard on the slopes!
