What's up ladies and gentlemen? This is The House Snowboard Shop, I'm Matt Guff, and this
is the Burton Grail Boot. It has a support rating of a six, so it's going to be a little
bit stiffer, and this boot will save your sole! It's for the all mountain rider who
wants a lot of response. It does have the Shrinkable Footprint Reduction technology.
If you have a size ten boot, if you were to stamp your foot in the snow, it's only going
to leave a size nine footprint! It reduces the amount of heel drag and toe drag in the
boot. It does have the traditional lacing system, and the internal liner lace locking
system. All you have to do to tighten the internal lace liner is push down and lock
it in. The liner is an imprint four liner with, my favorite feature, the Rad Pad. The
Rad Pad is a cushioning system that helps reduce the amount of pressure on your foot
where your ankle strap is, and it also has the Dry Ride moisture wicking fabric technology,
it pretty much takes all the moisture out of your feet when you're riding in the summer
and if you have sweaty feet, it takes all the moisture away from your foot and takes
it out of the boot. It also has the Infini-Fit liner sole technology. You see that? That's
the Infini-Fit. Super cushioned, super super lightweight. You could probably walk outside
and get the mail in the middle of a snowstorm, and you wouldn't have a problem. Looks like
it has a little bit of traction, that's good. It does have the focused cuff as well, which
is a little bit higher than any normal cuff that burton would put out, it goes about to
the middle of your calf section with a lot of support, very very comfortable, and it
also has Velcro closures, so your tongue is not going to swing around a lot when you're
riding. It also has inside of it, the Sock Lock. Sock lock is the technology that allows
your foot to slide in, but not slide out very well, so you won't get very much heel room
inside the liner. It also has the lightweight Power Panels. These great panels are Power
Panels. It remembers its original form. If you do medial flex, it bounces right back.
That's a good thing. And These impact form liners are completely heat moldable. Be sure
to go to your local snowboard shop, and get these things heat molded. Now the cushioning
is pretty interesting as well. It has the holy s**t outsole technology with cardinal
cushioning. This is cardinal cushioning around the whole footbed. It has a dual density outsole
as well. It has a canted footbed system, which allows you to roll inside a little bit easier
than you normally would be able to. It also has the canted footbed system, it allows your
hips, your knees, and your ankles to move for added support, and added comfort. The
flexing response is pretty cool as well, because when a lot of riders press with their nose
or press with their tail, they get a lot of unwanted impact or unwanted binding or boot
crunch, and they have air upper articulated cuffs. So not only will the upper part of
the boot move independently of the lower section of the boot, but also it has air technology
to give it a little bit more cushioning as well. It does have a mid flex 3D tongue. Burton
boots have three different stiffnesses in their tongue; soft, medium, flex, that's what
this Grail boot has, and also, a stiff tongue. It also has super toe grip. See those little
rubber toe spikes? Well that's going to help you hike those icy stairs. Watch this. I can't
even pull it back, that's how good they are. The footbed is a level three EVA footbed,
with an ESS support shank system, that's that green right there, and it also has dual density
cushioning. See that blue thing right there? That's like Jell-O. You push that, it's soft.
You can't eat it, but it's very very soft, nice to walk around in. And it has anti microbial
coating. You could wear these things all summer long. You could probably skate in them, maybe,
but if you're in New Zealand, Chile, Argentina, and riding in the summer, these things aren't
going to smell. This is the Burton Grail boot, again, this is a support rating of six. Come
get some!
