What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I picked these up for a young rider in my family who was just starting lessons, and the hook and loop straps meant they could get their boots on solo before I even finished lacing my own. The Room to Grow footbed gave us a full extra season of use without buying a new pair, which made the whole first year on snow a lot less stressful."Burton built the Mini Grom Snowboard Boot for the first wobbly runs down the bunny hill, when every minute spent fumbling with gear is a minute lost to actual riding. Snow still soft and forgiving on a beginner lesson morning, getting boots on quickly matters more than anything else. The oversized straps let kids buckle in themselves, so they can get out the door and onto the chairlift with a little extra pride. Inside, Thinsulate insulation and a snow-proof internal gusset keep small feet warm and dry through a full day of falling down and getting back up again. The Room to Grow footbed adds a season of flexibility as feet grow, so the boots keep pace with your kid's progress instead of holding them back. It is built to handle the messy, joyful chaos of learning to ride.
