The 2027 Burton Photon BOA® Snowboard Boots are built for riders who want a precise fit, powerful response, and locked-in control across all terrain. Their Dual Zone BOA® Fit System with Coiler™ and Lockdown Tech provides quick, targeted adjustment, while the medium-stiff 6–8/10 flex delivers plenty of support without going full-stiff. Inside, the Imprint™ 3 Liner with Focus Cuff and DRYRIDE Heat Cycle™ Lining combines secure support with all-day comfort. A Vibram® EcoStep Outsole with EST® Optimized Midsole and Level 2 Molded EVA Footbed round out a proven setup for demanding all-mountain riding.

Flex
- Medium-Stiff / Responsive (6–8/10) – Supportive flex built for riders who want strong response and control while retaining enough movement for versatile all-mountain riding.
- 1:1 Firm Flex PowerUP Tongue – Uses additional dual-density material to increase rebound and durability while maintaining Burton’s 1:1 sizing between the shell, tongue, and outsole.
Lacing System
- Dual Zone BOA® Fit System with Coiler™ and Lockdown Technologies – Independently adjusts different areas of the boot for a more precise fit, with Lockdown Tech focused on secure heel hold.
- TX3 Lacing – Flexible, low-friction textile lace designed to combine durability and strength with a softer feel than traditional BOA® wire.
Liner
- Imprint™ 3 Liner – Heat-moldable liner designed for a personalized fit with moisture management and wicking performance.
- DRYRIDE Heat Cycle™ Lining – Uses thermally activated carbon thread to capture, reflect, and radiate body heat while moving moisture away from the foot.
- Focus Cuff – Integrated internal lacing wraps around the ankle to increase heel hold.
- Hook-and-Loop Closure – Secures the liner around the calf and ankle before the outer boot is tightened.
Footbed / Insole
- Level 1 Molded EVA Footbed – Lightweight EVA construction provides shock absorption and underfoot cushioning.
Outsole & Cushioning
- EST® Optimized Midsole – Lowers the boot’s center of gravity for improved boardfeel and a more direct connection to the board.
- Vibram® Traction Lug Outsole – Lug geometry is designed to increase traction underfoot.
- Vibram® EcoStep Rubber – Uses 30% recycled rubber content while providing grip across multiple surfaces.
- ReBounce Cushioning – Positions cushioning closer to the foot for improved impact absorption.
- B3 Gel – Impact-dampening material engineered to resist breaking down or hardening in cold temperatures.
Sizing Advice
- Fit – Burton Photon BOA fits true to size; choose your normal shoe size for the best combination of comfort and precision.
- Snug at First – The Imprint™ 3 liner will feel firm initially but breaks in quickly, molding to your foot for a fully customized fit.
- Performance Feel – Designed for a locked-in, supportive fit that maximizes response and heel hold for all-mountain riding.
- Do Not Size Up – Sizing up can reduce control and compromise the precision fit that defines the Photon’s performance.
