Sizing Advice
- Fit – Burton Highshot X Step On® boots fit true to size; choose your regular shoe size for the intended performance fit.
- Snug at First – Expect a firm, locked-in feel initially; the Asym Imprint™ 3 Liner will mold to your foot after a few days of riding or heat molding.
- Performance Fit – The H5 Dual-Zone BOA® Fit System with Internal Hammock delivers a highly customizable fit with exceptional heel hold and support.
- Do Not Size Up – Sizing up reduces heel hold, limits response, and can affect Step On® performance. Choose your regular boot size for the best fit and connection.
