Ice spikes on the sole give you sure footing for slippery decks and icy parking lots.

The Burton Imperial snowboard boot is a freeride boot with freestyle sympathies. The supportive medium-stiff flex comes into its own when you're charging steeps and spinning the biggest jumps in the park, but it's forgiving enough to be comfortable all day. The Speed Zone dual zone lace system independently adjusts the lower and upper sections of the boot, so your feet won't move, and you can customization your support. Like the rest of Burton's lineup, Shrinkage technology reduces your footprint by a full boot size, and that means less toe drag. S4 shell panels in the upper free up the flex, so you don't have to sacrifice the tweakability you want for the support you need. When you overshoot a hardpack landing, the B3 Gel padding protects against heel bruises. For aggressive freeriders, or larger, more powerful freestylers, it doesn't get much better than the Imperial.

Great Purchase
I just went out over the weekend and tore up the slopes here in Colorado. I couldn't be more satisfied with these boots. They are incredible. Now if only they were a little more broken in and molded to my feet!
I had the 2013 Imperial and it was perfect for my narrow foot. True to size, the 11.5 was true to what I normally wear. Toe right at the tip of the liner, fully extended with no undue pressure. I think Burton rates this at like a 5/10 on the stiffness scale, but I find these pretty snappy, as well comfortable. I'm riding aggressive all-mountain. You may want something a little more playful for the park. The lacing system works well for me. The pullstrings are a bit of a pain to deal with when you're ready to stash them, because they are really long, BUT this lets you avoid hunching all the way over to cinch up, and you can really crank on the handles. Bomber.
This year the liner is even more accommodating comfort-wise. I can wear them all day, they are great for me.
Boot is such a upgrade from my old moto's. The liner has velcro to hold the tongue stable so no shifting during riding. Have a protective cover over top of foot to help reduce pressure on top of midfoot due to bindings. The inner lace is connected to inside of boot instead of actual liner so it tightens you foot down to boot so no heel popouts. The boot is stiffer then moto's but still has some give. They are very responsive. The speedlace system is first time for me and they are sweet. Tighten up fast and stay tightened. Quick and easy. Overall happy as hell with boot. Must buy.
These boots are by no means stiff. They are very responsive though. Very comfortable out of the box. I had to go down a 1/2 size compared to other companies. Match well with burton bindings but I had foot pain with with some other companies straps/binding. Like them a lot but concerned about how many days I will get out of them. Easiest speed lace system to tighten I have used.
