Sizing Advice
- Fit – Burton SLX fits true to size; choose your regular shoe size for an ideal balance of comfort and precision.
- Snug at First – The LIFE+ liner will feel firm initially but softens and molds to your foot after several sessions for a custom fit.
- Performance Feel – Designed with a low-volume interior for superior board control and quick response underfoot.
- Do Not Size Up – Sizing up can reduce heel hold and response, especially in a performance-oriented boot like the SLX.
