Burton Saphire
Ok girls; raise your hand if you find it difficult to get a boot that fits.  Now raise your hand if it is hard to find a boot that lasts all winter long.  Last time, raise your hand if you can't find a boot that doesn't pack out perfectly and remain comfy all day.

Now that we got that out of the way, look around and see how many people are staring at you.  Well if you raised your hand more than once don't worry I have found a boot that fixes any and all of your problems.

Burton has been working hard the past two years to really get some boots out there specifically for women riders.  They have realized that our feet, ankles, and calves are not the same size as men's.  The Burton Sapphire boot is burtons all around boot.  
On a scale from stiff at the top and soft at the bottom the Sapphire is right in the middle.  

The Sapphire has a nice inner lining lacing system that allows the rider, you, to adjust how tight or loose you like your boots.  This is the first boot I have tried in years where I had little to no heal lift.  Allow about 2 weeks for this boot to pack out to your feet.  Burton includes ankle inserts if you find the boot becomes to loose around your ankles.   I suggest purchasing a half size smaller than your street shoe so when your boot packs out it has a nice comfy fit.  Give these boots a whirl, there not that pricey and worth every penny! burton.com
