The Speed Zone® Lacing System provides separate lacing control for the upper and lower sections of your boot so you can adjust the fit just as you like with complete ease. There's a reason the Mint has been the world's best-selling women's boot 13 years running! It includes some of the best technology Burton has to offer so your boots won't slow down your learning wherever you choose to ride. Some options for that flex range.īut again, I suspect the Formula Rocker is going to be too wide for you, which certainly wouldn’t help with your toe side turns.The Burton Mint Women's snowboard boots are soft, all-mountain boots that are great for all female riders that won't break the bank. For your skill level, I would be looking more around 4/10 flex. In terms of bindings, I would try to match the board for flex, if possible or a little stiffer than board flex – so for the Formula Rocker I would be looking at something around 4/10 flex to 5/10 flex. My biggest concern with the Formula Rocker is that it might be too wide for your boots – if you could let me know your boot size as well that would be great. In terms of size for the Formula Rocker – I would put you at around 150/151 for your “standard all-mountain” size, but that’s assuming an advanced level, so I think sizing to 148 makes sense. And it’s kind of a double edged sword sometimes – the softer boot helps you progress faster, which makes you grow out of them faster, because they helped you progress faster (sorry, not sure if double edged sword is the right analogy in this case…) I definitely get not wanting to grow out of them too quickly.
The softer options would likely help you to progress faster (and if you want double boa, then the STW Double BOA is a good option) but the mid flex options are doable. If you feel you’re on the cusp of beginner and intermediate, then going mid flex with your boots should be fine – if you’re going to go a little stiffer with anything in the setup, then I would make it boots. No worries at all, happens all the time (deleted the first one for tidiness as the 2nd one had a bit more info in it). Thanks in advance, I really appreciate your insights!
Burton mint reviews full#
I’m just in this weird place, where I’m not quite a full on beginner but not to intermediate yet either, and don’t want to outgrow my gear too quickly.
Would you recommend bumping up to 152 though, given my weight and height? (5′ 4″, 155 lbs).Īlso, your website is phenomenal and your articles/reviews have been incredibly helpful. My concern is that I’ll progress out of the Mint and STW too soon, and was curious what your thoughts are on the other more advanced boots (both are solid medium flex).Īlso, I’m looking at getting an Arbor Formula board 148 or 152, and was wondering what bindings you might suggest for my skill level? My old board is a 148 Morrow from 2008, it’s camber so not ideal. I’m debating between 4 boots: Women’s Burton Mint BOA, Burton Limelight BOA, Thirty Two STW Double BOA, Thirty Two Lashed Double BOA. I’m honestly still figuring out the transfer from heel to toe, and am struggling quite a bit with toe edge (hoping this is partly due to ill-fitting boots). I boarded 10+ years ago as a teen without much direction or insight and am now trying to get back into it. I’m somewhere between beginner and intermediate, leaning a bit more toward beginner I suppose. I’m currently looking at buying some boots, as I feel continuing to rent will just make my progression harder. Check out the video for more about the Mint I have included the different score breakdowns for each lacing version below. The Boa version is a little more expensive and the Lace version a little cheaper, each with their own pros and cons. The Mint’s also come in a Boa version and a lace version. There are no obvious weaknesses to these boots and they will allow the beginner rider to progress seamlessly and in comfort and style, without breaking the bank!
Once you get used to the speed lacing system (which is pretty easy once you’ve done it a couple of times) you’ll be flying in and out of these boots – though you may not want to take them off! Like any good beginner boot Burton’s Mint boots are nice and comfortable, easy to get in and out of and are really easy to adjust for a nice custom fit. And finally, in at #1, are the Burton Mint boots.įeaturing a nice soft-medium flex for an easy and forgiving ride, perfect for the beginner, the Mint packs a heap of performance into a really reasonable price tag.
