Fit Profile:
Probably the most balanced overall fit, with a mid-width forefoot and mid-width heel, it covers a multitude of foot shapes. Good heel hold for most feet, but narrow ankles might struggle to feel locked in. It has what you would describe as a deep instep but still gives a more relaxed rider-friendly overall fit.

Ritual Boa Specification:
Dual Zone Boa® Coiler™ with TX3 Laces
The tongue-mounted H4 Coiler is the top closure point for the boot. Geared at a ratio of 4:1, it tightens the top half of the boot quickly and effortlessly. To tension the bottom half of the boot, the side-mounted Coiler has been specifically designed to provide increased leverage to let you dial in the perfect tightness. This Dual Zone system gives you complete independence of the top and bottom halves of the boot, allowing you to almost instantly dial in the perfect fit and flex for whatever terrain you want to ride. TX3 is Boa’s first textile lace specifically designed and engineered for shell closure on snowboard boots, an alternative to the traditional steel lace. TX3 provides a softer, more flexible look similar to the characteristics of traditional lace. However, unlike your standard laces or speed-lace, Boa has designed TX3 to be much smaller in diameter to work with the H4 system but still meet the necessary strength requirements for snowboard boots.
Imprint™ 3 Liner with Focus Cuff and Hook and Loop Closure
The Imprint 3 Liners feature Burton’s innovative DRYRIDE Heat Cycle™ technology. This breathable inner lining material utilises interwoven thermally activated carbon thread to capture and reflect heat inwards while wicking moisture away from the foot.
The Focus Cuff Heel Hold System boosts heel hold by hugging that sweet spot around your ankle. The Focus Cuff sits slightly higher on the ankle than most other heel hold systems giving increased response and control. To dial in the fit even further, the Imprint 3 Liner can be modified around the ankle by adding J Bars. These can be attached and detached quickly via the hook and loop fixings reducing heel lift for even the narrowest feet.
The Imprint 3 Liner is constructed from heat mouldable foam. This innovative material forms to the contours of your feet, reducing unwanted pressure points and helping deliver the perfect fit
EST DynoBite Outsole
In addition to ReBounce, which wraps the cushioning in heat-reflective foil to keep it cushy and effective in cold weather, the DynoBITE outsole features strategically placed rubber patches for extra traction and durability at the forefoot and heel. Like every Burton Dyno outsole, DynoBITE provides lightweight, durable cushioning explicitly formulated for snowboarding. 10-15% recycled rubber content depending on model treads lighter on the planet, too.
1:1 Soft Flex PowerUP Tongue
This dual-density tongue construction has been designed to enhance rebound when flexing into the boot. This flexing helps create a livelier and more responsive boot, reducing material breakdown and preventing the boot from becoming too soft.
Total Comfort Construction
Get an instantly broken-in feel right out of the box. Total comfort’s industry-exclusive construction eliminates the break-in period for a fit that feels just as good from day 1 to 100.
GripLite Backstay
The Grip-Lite Backstay snugs up the fit between boot and hi-back. The rubber print backstays also shave weight and enhance material-to-material grip. This printed rubber application delivers a more direct energy transfer from boot to binding to board for reduced rider fatigue.
