S4 Shell Panels – Start strong, stay strong. Thats S4. Superlight and resilient, these shell panels on the Imperial evenly distribute strap pressure to maximize rebound and resist breakdown for consistent flex, season after season.

Firm Flex PowerUP Tongue – For greater rebound and durability, the majority of Burton's boots feature this dual density tongue construction. Like all Thin Profile 3D® Molded Tongues, it's available in one of three flex options based on the boot.

Flex Rating: 7 (1 Soft - 10 Stiff) – These snowboard boots have a flex rating of 7. With this moderately stiff flexibility throughout the boot, you will have tons of control, response, and support when riding.

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 opening day to day 100.

Plush Cuff 1.0 – The Plush Cuff 1.0 hugs your calf like no other thanks to a combination of medial and lateral neoprene stretch zones and super soft fur lining.

Sock Lock – This directional fiber lining allows your feet to easily slide into place and stay in place from first chair to last call.

Rad Pad – The pad is located on the top of your instep, right where the internal laces exert the most pressure, a Rad Pad has pre-curved panels for extra comfort, support and long-wear.

Speed Zone™ Lacing System – Lightning fast lacing control at its finest. Customize the fit of the upper or lower zone in seconds; because the system is so powerful, you get more rebound, more wrap and better response, all with less effort.

New England Ropes – American-made, natural fiber ropes help power Burton's Speed Zone™ systems. Virtually indestructible, New England Ropes' laces are the same stuff used by stunt men, firefighters, and rescue teams.

B3 Gel – Ultimate dampening formulated to withstand repeated impacts without breaking down or hardening up in cold temps.

Level 2 Molded EVA Footbed – Lightweight and long-lasting shock absorption.

Sleeping Bag Reflective Foil – This low-profile and lightweight underfoot technology reflects heat back to the feet, improving both warmth and comfort when faced with cold conditions.

Vibram EcoStep™ Rubber Outsole Design [30% Recycled] with Rubber Ice Spikes

EST – EST® goes beyond bindings by optimizing the oles on select boots for a more direct connection. Lower-profile, lighter weight, and with a reduced ramp angle (more like a skate shoe and less like a running shoe), EST lowers your center of gravity and improves feel. All without sacrificing an ounce of cushioning thanks to ultra-dampening B3 Gel inserts.

Shrinkage™ Footprint Reduction Technology – This reduces the boot's overall footprint one full size, meaning a men's size 10 fits like a size 10, but has the footprint of a typical size 9. Shorter, lighter, sleeker - never suffer from toe drag again.

Snow-Proof Internal Gusset – All Burton boot tongues feature an internal gusset construction to completely seal the lower zone of the boot, keeping your feet warm and dry.
