I love these boots, and I have owned some terrible and wonderful boots over the years. I'm am east coast riding, so I'm half dead in my mid-30's, from taking hits in the LACK of pow haha. These boots keep me well supported while riding in a variety of conditions. While they are (maybe) unsuitable for an absolute beginner and certainly no good for a pro, hitting huge gaps and needing ultra-stiffness to make their setup precise enough for aggressive pipe-slaying, they are perfect for those that are not looking to get the gold metal in a big air comp. I don't think that you can currently do much better in this bracket. These are my first Boa boots, and Burton's warranty on all their Boa systems made me drastically more comfortable switching over.

If you're riding all the time, you may have an older pair of boots laying around? Bring them in your trunk and Burton will fix the Boa system if it were to fail. Another thing that I believe is worth mentioning, is that there seems to be something missing with Burton's communication with its customers- as we have all started buying online, there is no one to reassert that the boots should be quite SNUG, at least when you when you first get them! They break in about a half a size with use- but only in all the right spots. I've been riding since the mid 90's and these are my favorite resort boots so far. I'm heading towards 40 and getting a bit less demanding of having the best of the best- therefore I didn't spend $500 plus on boots. The will suit 9 out of 10 all around riders, looking to do a bit of everything, without sacrificing comfort! As for size, I just bought my shoe size 10.5- I don't vary much on that, but for reference some shoes that I also wear in a 10.5 are Nike, Supra, Timberland, Reebok. These felt snug as I said, but as long as you can fit in without immediate discomfort from the sides, heal or toe, you should be all set👍

I bought this boots because i had the same ones before and i was so happy with them that i don’t want to try anything else anymore. I’m mostly riding in park (rails) that’s why a good feeling in the feet is very important to me. I like my boots hard, tight and warm.Boots were tested in every condition in size 5.5US. The most important to me, they kept me warm in winter, even though i fasten them tight. With boa it’s also easy to keep them tight as much as you like, without loosing time with opening and closing, as you would with normal lacing. You just turn the boa around, without even removing your pants and you’re ready to go. With double boa you can regulate toe and ankle zone separately. Liner is heat moldable. That all enshures perfect fit. Normally i had to ... MoreI bought this boots because i had the same ones before and i was so happy with them that i don’t want to try anything else anymore.

Material is so good, that there are only light signs of use to be seen. Also practical are the holders on both sides. That makes them really easy to wear.I would recommend this boots to every women who are looking for this perfect fit. They’re defenitely worth the money.

These boots were my first new pair. Was rocking older low end boots that were too big by nearly 2 sizes. When I got these from EVO, they look clean and very appealing to the eye with the faded colors. First 2 days in them I got them hot and did calf raises in the house to get the toes to bend more. Been on the mountain with them 6-7 times and they're incredibly comfy and my feet stay dry from all types of snow.Fair warning; the first few times you put them on that can be a little rough as most boots are. Highly advise trying your best to break in before actually going up the lifts to make it more enjoyable. I have very flat feet so they are a little narrow for me but after packing them as much as I have currently, it's leagues ahead of what I was used to using.

Need to replace my old Moto after a few seasons and decided on the Ruler. They are quite light, easy to put on, and close with the Boa system. The flex is indeed mid and feels just perfect for me. The boots deliver what is promised – perfect for advanced beginners and better casual riders, that for a good budget. They run true to size, so if you are in-between sizes, go with a half number larger. I have 26.6 Mondo and thought to take 26.5 (8.5) to have a snug fit, but my toes did hit hard in any position, even without socks. Now waiting for the 27.0 (9.0) which should fit perfectly.
Feels more stiff than the K2 Raiders but I love these for the fact that they do not hurt my ankles like the K2 Raiders do. This boot also wicks sweat way better than the K2 Raiders whose liners feel like a soggy mess at the end of the day. Double boa is great, heat reflective bottom is wonderful! Worth the extra money. This also comes in Size 6!
Have been rocking 20 yo Burton Hail snowboard boots (men's size 10 US) and decided to give the Ruler BOA a try. Picked them up at my local REI yesterday, took them home and tried them on. While they seem like a solid boot and everything the size 10 I ordered are too small. Really uncomfortable getting them on. Ordered a 10.5 so I'll update this review once I get the replacements.Update: The 10.5 Men's US are a winner.
Overall good product. Heel support is not as good as some other brand/models. I seem to be just in between 7 and 7.5, neither was perfect for me unfortunately. I loved my last pair which was Burton Limelight, but I really wanted a slightly more stiff pair. I wish it had worked out! #sweepstakes
Upgrading my Solomon Optima boots from 2012, these Felix BOA’s came highly recommended. I was stoked and handed my $500 over. Less than 9 times on the mountain and my ankles aren’t held tight, and my left heel lifts with each turn. It is terrible! Not sure if I just received a pair of lemons or what, but I’ve been riding the rest of the season in my old boots as they are much more responsive by holding my foot tight. Huge let down.
The best shoes I have ever had. No inserting, great feeling immediately. It doesn't pinch anything. I'm 42 now and the Step-On bindings are a blessing for my back. Finally no more fumbling. Otherwise my husband and daughter (skiers) had to wait for me. Now I'm done faster ;-). Super direct driving feeling! No more wobbling on the heels because the shoes at the back are too big. I am super happy :-)!
Burton ruler is definitely the lightest boot in the same price class. Not like other brands, burton provide very light and compact but very warm breathable and comfortable material on this boot. You can heat molded not only liner also the shell, which will be shaped as your feet’s shape and provides you perfect comfort. Ruler also has a medium stiff (5) flexibility. Not stiff not soft just in the middle.However, since this boot is not the supreme class of Burton products, it does not provide a very cushion sole. And the sole is a little bit thin and humble. If you ride in powder or groomer with good snow, it will be fine and no difference with others. But if ride it on a hard ground, when you jump, it may not provide enough cushion.In conclusion, burton ruler is ... MoreBurton ruler is definitely the lightest boot in the same price class.

But if you are a park snowboarder and you jump extremely high. Maybe it's better for you to pick up a more expensive one with enough cushion.
