Poster: A snowHead
|
Just bought some Burton step on boots and bindings and wonder how old they are. Current models have cleats on both front edges plus the clip at the heel. These boots have metal indents on the instep and the outside edge and as you step onto the binding lugs pivot and engage these cleats. I'm trying to find out what they're called and how old they're likely to be

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Do you like the quality of these boots? Wanted to get Burton ones too, but my friends told me they lost their quality, so I have doubts.

@Josh78richards, Burton gear generally has a pretty good reputation. I've been using Burton boots and bindings (traditional) for a while and have had no quality issues. @Mr.Egg seems to be very happy with his Step Ins, as have pretty much everyone I've spoken to who have used them so far.
Key point for Burton is their Customer Services which do seem to be excellent when issues do come up - I needed to get a new highback for my Missions after one had an argument with a low chairlift. Would have been perfectly happy to pay for one - but they sent me two free of charge and apologised they they'd not been able to colour-match them properly to the baseplates.

Had a strap replacement sent by Burton for my Cartels and they also apologised for not colour matching. Burton are an excellent company never had issues with their gear/ support.

Burton support are fantastic.
Replaced my 5yr old snowboard bag with no quibble after the seam stitching failed.
Annoyingly i was in innsbruck when it broke, but i had to go back to uk & post it to innsbruck to get the replacement!

wonder how old they are ?
Burtons SI or stepins were sold in 99 probably the 98/99 season they also had a massive recall that season .
The SI boots were entry freestyle then in later years you had a choice of boot models probably Freestyle and Rulars .
