The Burton Bootique is another well made comfortable snowboard boot that is a little step up from the Burton Mint.  It provides an entry level/low-cost buyer a step towards the higher end Burton Boots.  This is a great soft flex for a beginning rider up to an advanced freestyle rider.

Ethics Statement: We don’t get paid by the manufacturer to write these reviews.  No one is perfect and we do make money from the “Where To Buy” links below, but this is our best attempt at an honest and objective review from an average riders’ perspective.

Flex:  The Bootique has a nice easy forgiving flex for those looking to get more time on the hill.

Comfort:  Burton makes pretty comfortable boots.  These are no exception. Most Burton boots have little to no break-in time.

Heel Hold:  The Bootique is a Burton style BOA boot and it holds the heel down pretty well if you crank it down hard.

Adjustability: The Burton Bootique has Burton BOA but it’s not a steel cable BOA.  It uses the same laces in Speed lace and it’s a little easier to repair.  It’s an interesting setup but it’s a pretty good take on the BOA system.

Flex Retention:  The Bootique is kind of between an entry level boot and a committed 50-100 day a year rider.  It’s more for the 10-20 day a year rider but if you ride more than that a year it will hold up.

Response:  Good middle ground response that is a little more than the flex.

Traction:  Pretty good traction and it handles most icy parking lots pretty well.

Shock Absorption: There is a nice bed of EVA foam and it’s got a good amount of protection from bad landings.
