The Photon Step On® Wide from Burtonrepresents the men's new generation of all-mountain snowboard boots. Inspired by the old step-in bindings, Burton is once again making history in the snowboarding world with this completed new generation of Step-On® boots and bindings.
As the name suggests the Photon Step On® Wide is a variation of the Photon Boa®, the all-mountain freeride boots with top-of-the-range specs and performance everybody wants. Comfort, stiffness, support, responsivenesss...: here are sound basics which make the reliable Photon Step On® Wide offered by Burton.
The main difference between strapped and Step On® bindings is that it is the boot which determines which binding/boot pack to get, and no longer the binding.
The Photon Step On® Wide has a stiff flex and extra tongue at the instep with the Boa® tightening system. It provides you with stiffness and responsiveness similar to - or even better than - Genesis EST® combined with Photon Boa®.
With the Step On® system, you can put your bindings on while standing by simply stepping into the connection points on the sides of the feet and at the rear, on the spoiler. No need to sit in the cold, wet, snow to put on your shoes - and no one will complain about having to wait for you at the ski lifts!
The major advantage of this new system is the responsiveness of the power transfer from boots to board. Because of the connection points, particularly the spoiler, the boots are literally stuck down from the spoiler to the baseplate so shifts from edge to edge have never been so fast.
The Photon Boa® Wide is a version of the Photon Boa® with larger internal volume.
If you want to stand out this winter with innovative and, in particular, high-performance equipment, then go for Photon Step On® Wide. Advanced level snowboarders who like to be ahead of the trend will love these all-mountain boots.
