Burton Women's Highshot Step On Snowboard Boots 2026

The Women's Highshot Step On is Burton's entry point into the Highshot lineup — a medium-flex boot (6 out of 10) built on Burton's True Fit women's-specific last, which means the shell, liner, and cuff geometry are all sized and shaped around women's foot anatomy, not scaled down from a men's mold. The single-dial Sequence BOA with Coiler technology pulls evenly across the shell in one motion: one turn tightens, one release lets you out. There are no independent upper and lower zones here — just a clean, consistent wrap that most riders dial in within a run or two. Inside, the heat-moldable Imprint 2 liner custom-conforms to your foot shape when molded, cutting down break-in time significantly, and the 3M Thinsulate insulation keeps warmth where it belongs on cold days. The Plush Cuff 1.0 lines the top of the boot with neoprene stretch panels and a soft inner, so the top of your foot and calf don't get battered on long days. The PowerUP tongue transmits energy front to back without the dead spot that plagues softer boots, giving intermediate riders a meaningful feel for edge pressure without requiring aggressive technique to activate it. One critical note: this boot is built around Burton's Step On outsole with toe and heel cleats — it will only work with Step On-compatible bindings. It does not fit into any traditional strap or rear-entry binding.

This boot is aimed at intermediate women riders — someone past the learning phase, comfortable linking turns, who wants the convenience of the Step On system without climbing to the stiffness of the Highshot X or X Pro. If you're riding a lot of groomed terrain, park laps, or casual all-mountain days, the medium flex gives you room to move and enough support to hold an edge when you push. Where it starts to fall short: aggressive or advanced riders who spend most of their time in variable snow, steep chutes, or pushing hard at speed will want the Highshot X Step On (stiffer, Imprint 3 liner, dual-zone BOA) or the X Pro for race-level control. Riders with wide feet should look at the Highshot Step On Wide rather than forcing this standard last. And if you're not ready to commit to the Step On binding ecosystem — or you already own strap bindings — this boot is a non-starter; the Step On interface is not compatible with any other binding type. Come in and get fitted: flex and last width have to match your foot, your riding style, and your binding setup before anything else matters.
