Great Video! Rode last season on a Custom X with new traditional X bindings and new Ion boas, but was left in the dust by all my Step On buddies….. So this year I went all in and got a brand new Process, Genesis Bindings Step Ons, and the Photons! Can’t wait!
Do they soften up a little? I have the first gen rituals and they are waayyyy too soft now. I was having a really hard time last season because I couldn’t tighten them enough yet they were cutting off circulation. My season was short so I stuck it out but I’m ready to buy a new set. Tying to decide on the womens Felix or the mens ions.
@@melaniemcgee6852 All boots do break down over time but unless you have an unusually large foot I would do the Felix. The mens boots are going to have extra room for a traditional male foot and you'll end up with tired and achy feet from extra movement in the boot.
Would you say it’s a good idea to combine the stiffness (yet adjustable if I want to) of the ION boots with a softer genesis step on bindings? I heard you mentioned step ons bring a higher responsiveness so I am afraid of going way too stiff moving from regular bindings to the whole new step on world.
I notice the design on most recently released Step-On bindings have changed. Could the latest Step on boots fit in to a 2020-2021 Step-On bindings. Im looking to save money on my setup. Thanks
Do the women’s step in boots come in a size 11? It’s late in the season and I can’t tell if they are all sold out and gone or never existed in the first place.
@@sarahtabor2463 Yeah it sucks, the biggest issue is to make a womens size 11 boot for StepOn they actually have to make a bigger binding for everything to work properly. They just added mens 14 and 15 and a mens XL binding to the line up last year. We shall see what the future holds, but I can tell you theres no women's 11 in the 23/24 lineup either 😞
I am wondering about boot width of the Ion. I am in need of a narrower boot and looking for options. I have found that both Solomon and Ride boots have worked well in the past due the width of those boots. I would very much like to move to the Burton Step on system, but am worried about boot width. I ask about the Ion as I am an all mountain rider and like a stiff boot.
Hey guys. Awesome informative video on the new '23 Step Ons.!! just a few questions, from a newbie, please!! me : 176cm, 95kg, Nike AJ1 shoes US 10 , wide foot, 1 ) i have flexibility issues - which revolves around me being on the bigger size - this means i find it difficult to sit down and buckle up like traditional boots and binding systems. or for that matter, reaching down to even buckle up, whilst standing. also getting the new step ons systems means i dont waste time sitting down and buckling up..... thinking of the Photon or Ruler boots /Genesis binding set up. 2) What boot size, bindings, should i get ? 3) Also, please recommend a beginner board as well! All in, thanks so much for answering my questions! im sure it will help me make better judgement in purchasing a set.
The boots are pretty true to size so always buy the same size as your regular shoes. You want the tightest fit possible with no wiggle room. ESPECIALLY in a StepOn boot. For boards there really are a lot of good options but check out the Burton Instigator Flat Top 160. Great board to start on but you are not going to outgrow the performance as you start to get better. www.the-house.com/buiftm140013zz-burton-snowboards
@@thehouse i actually bought half size smaller. Got the photon step on boots in US 9.5 and also the Genesis Re:Flex binding in Size M. Thanks for the recommendations!
Any boot/binding works, just depends on your personal preferences. The only thing that is constant is mens binding only fit mens boots and women’s bindings only fit women’s boots
Are the step on boots ok for hiking in ? Im guessing they need to be stiffer and constructed differently to a regular strap binding boot so they will work correctly with the step on system ? But does this mean they are too stiff for hiking in the back country (30-60 minute hikes) Thanks
Could you talk more on the softer version of the Burton Step On Felix option. Is it meant for a different type of rider compared to the current Felix, which options are best for which type of riding? Also you mentioned it would be releasing later in the year, does this mean it won't be included in the October 18th Drop on Burtons site? Thank you for the great videos.
When it comes to flex in a boot there no right or wrong answer. Traditionally you want a little stiffer boot is more for freeride and softer boot for park (and then mid flex for all mountain) but its ultimately up to the rider and their personal preferences. Mainly with the "soft Felix/Photon people were talking about wanting a little softer boot with the ankle strap so Burton listened. I don't think they are scheduled to release with the 18th drop, but honestly the majority of the sales in those 2 boots are still going to be in the standard flex.
@@thehouse thank you. at the moment im considering either getting the regular Felix step on or the ritual. Both seem to be mid-flex based on Burton's description. I am use to riding a limelight with Lexa strap bindings (which I crank all the way down), but for step on I think I would much prefer having the adjustability that comes with the double Boa. Would you know if the ritual or Felix would be a better option for me based on what I ride with strap bindings? (I think the mens versions of the two I am considering would be the swath vs photon I think)
@@PR15C1LL4 One of those boots is really not better than the other. again just a personal preference. If you liked your Limelight/Lexa setup just go with the Ritual/Standard would be a similar setup.
Im buying my own boots for the first time and I’m split between the ruler and photon. I have some trouble finding more in depth reviews, do you have any recommendations? Also what is the difference between imprint 2 and 3
When it comes to those 2 boots its more about the flex. Check out this video especially around the 8:33 mark ->ruclips.net/video/S4ji_3zlesM/видео.html
Question...with the Ion and the Photon, are you still able to use regular bidninggs with those considering the extra snug strap it has or would it just not fit at all?
Hi guys, I've just bought new pair of Step on bindings and now I realized there is a "softer" option of these step ons like Genesis. Can you feel the diference when riding compare to standart Step on? I've tried it home on the board with my new Ions boots and it doesnt feel to me too stiff. I like softer set up(boots/bindings) which I can do it with the Ions, keep them loose little more. Question is, do I have to sell back Step ons and buy Genesis step on for softer feel?Thanks and keep doing great job you guys.
The Genesis isn’t really a softer binding than the regular StepOn. It just has a different highback that feels a little smoother without loosing quickness but the baseplates are exactly the same
@@thehouse Does the softer highback allow for a little more micro-adjustments when riding? Like there's some play where you can move a bit more and not have the board respond to every move? I'm old and a bit fatter now, so I'm thinking of upgrading my gear to a step on system from traditional bindings because I don't bend so good anymore lol
How stiff is the ION on a scale of 1 to 10? Also, how stiff is Photon? If I get the ION, do I need to go with Step On X or will it work with Step On Genesis? Also will 7/10 stiff all-mountain boards will be a good combination for Ion or do I need go for a stiffer board to pair up with Ion? Trying to decide between Ion and Photon.
Any boots work with any bindings it’s 100% about personal your preferences. As for the boots like Matt said in the video if you have the money for the Ion go for it. It is slightly stiffer than the the Photon but you have total control over the flex and feel of the boot with the 3 lacing zones. The Photo is like a 6.5 and the Ion is around 7.5 but you can loosen that top Speed Zone a bit and make it feel softer and still crank down the snugger strap for heel hold. The Ion and the Kendo are the only boots in the line up that give you that kind of customization in your lacing.
I picked up the standard step on bindings at the end of last season. Now I need some boots. I just got back into snowboarding after 20 years. I’m just cruising down the mountain with the fam. Which boot should I go with? Great content and reviews on your channel! Subbed 🤟🏼
My question is why someone wouldn't want to maximize their edge to edge response? I just bought the X's with the photon boots, looking forward to using them next week.
Smoother feel edge to edge. I like a little softer/slower feel in the park. If you land a little off kilter off lets say a rail or jump the board doesn't jump on edge on you. Little more forgiving ride
This step on line looks amazing. Question? I am Narrow and flat footed. Which Burton step in is the most narrow? Are the step in women's boots more narrow than the mens versions?
Fir narrowness probably the Ruler or Swath. For flat feet your best bet would be to have orthotics for your feet for no matter what boot you are riding. Orthotics can make a HUGE difference. And the womens boots will be narrower but also softer and shorter as well. Plus you have to ride the womens bindings with the womens boots
I’m mainly focused on Butters and ground tricks with a 2-3 flex board ( Bataleon Disaster) would you suggest buying the step ons and if so then match it with what boot? Cheers
It’s really up to you and your personal preferences in flex when it comes to boots and bindings. Softer means a little easier smoother feel, the stiffer they get the quicker responding they are and you have to lean less to flex your board. As for StepOn vs regular bindings it’s up to you. As long as the boots fit you right, the StepOn can be a great option (again depending on your flex preferences)
Just replaced my ion’s after 250 days, compared to my Salomon malamutes which would only last 100 days makes the price of the ion’s a bit more comfortable.
Honestly its personal preference. The biggest difference between the 2 is the highback. When you spend more on the Genesis you are basically getting the standard binding but it has a little smoother feel without sacrificing quickness. BURTON STEP ON: www.the-house.com/search?term=%22Burton+Step+On%22
Just bought the Photon Wide. What I've noticed is with my left foot which is a little bigger than my right foot, my big toe just hits the end of the liner. No cramping or pain, but you can feel it's hitting the end. Will this go away ones they break in?
I picked up the regular Step in XL last year. Will they eventually make the Genesis version in XL? The only wish I had was that they made the pants clip longer, too. My pants just don't stay in that thing. I may try plasti-dip this year and see if that causes enough friction to work. Otherwise, maybe Burton CS can get me some new ones.
Not sure what they have planned for the future when it comes to size offerings, for now the XL is still just offered in the Standard. If you are having problems with your pants popping out I'm guessing you are a taller individual and you might actually want to check out some different pants. Burton does offer "tall" versions of some of their pants for people with longer inseams -> www.the-house.com/search?routes={%22fs%22:[{%22f%22:%22Brand%22,%22vs%22:[%22Burton%22]}],%22s%22:%22tall%22}
Any of the StepOn boots work with any of the StepOn bindings. The only thing is you have to have the correct size binding for the size of your boot. And you cannot cross mens, womens, and kids (for instance mens boots do NOT fit in women’s bindings)
I have 2019 ion but it crushes my outer pinkie knuckle. Which boot would be for wider feet? Intermediate advanced rider , carving, no jumps or tricks just speed and steep. Do the new step on system help on the pain ?
@@PeterPham Burton boots are pretty true to size. I'm a 10.5 in shoes and a 10.5 in Burton boots. No matter what the boot sizing is (US, mondo, Eu) their is a correct fit. Check out this video for a great visual explanation on that. -> ruclips.net/video/rjsjJwJVTS4/видео.html
I love step ons but would prefer lighter set up. Currently have regular bindings and photons. Trying to think about getting X and Swath. Not sure how this set up would feel given different stiffness rating. Do have specifics on how light would the Regular Step on vs Xs would be? Same with weight of Photon vs Swath?
Honestly when it comes to snowboard set ups, yes there are different weights but to get a full set up that is noticeably lighter you are going to have to buy the lightest everything. Boards, boots AND bindings. The X is lighter but when you throw your whole set up together it’s not going to make THAT much of a difference. The main thing is that the X is super quick edge to edge because of the carbon, the slight weight savings is just a happy thing that comes with the carbon
Are all the step on bindings re:flex? Will they not work as est bindings do on the channel? Or do they just simply need to be mounted from the inside of the binding because of how step on works?
They have made Limited edition versions of the StepOn in EST in the past, but they mainly do the Reflex system because it’s still a newer system and they want the bindings to be compatible for every single board on the market
@@timothypereira227 hard to say, we haven't seen or heard of anything. In the past they released limited amounts in the Mine77 collection, but even those only came in Mediums because thats what size Jake rode.
There are a pretty good amount of "wide" specific boots out there now -> www.the-house.com/search?routes={%22fs%22:[{%22f%22:%22Category%22,%22vs%22:[%22Snowboard%20Boots%22]}],%22s%22:%22wide%22}
So instead of buying the 3d plate .I just bought a new burton skeleton key board!! Long over due seeing my old one is a Burton Twin 64...it's 28 yrs old..lol
Depends on your binding and boot flex preferences. Most park riders like a little smoother softer feel and the StepOn system is a pretty quick reacting set up so they are not the most popular amongst park riders
@@mattwulff161 Its an all black colorway that are in the video this year with Jakes favorite blue on a couple of the screws. Last years was black with the white highback.
Did last years regular and x step on bindings’ size small go up to 8? For 2023 I’m a size 8 in Burton ion step ons and for the first time in the last 15 years I have to go to a size small for bindings (step on x). When I looked at the size small size adjustment notches, the size 7.5 and size 8 is the same notch, and it looks almost like the size 8 imprint was added after the fact.. is the size 8 notch legitimately for size 8or is it actually just 7.5 and the size medium binding, which would have been size 8 upwards in previous years, couldn’t accommodate so the size 8 boots just have to go in size small bindings now? I’m wondering if size 8 boots in step ons are not getting the extra benefit other sizes do for avoiding toe hang with their notches.
This video was extremely helpful, so thank you!
Always fun doing videos with Jayson, I'll have some more in the near future!

Not sure how this set up would feel given different stiffness rating. Do have specifics on how light would the Regular Step on vs Xs would be? Same with weight of Photon vs Swath?
Honestly when it comes to snowboard set ups, yes there are different weights but to get a full set up that is noticeably lighter you are going to have to buy the lightest everything. Boards, boots AND bindings. The X is lighter but when you throw your whole set up together it’s not going to make THAT much of a difference. The main thing is that the X is super quick edge to edge because of the carbon, the slight weight savings is just a happy thing that comes with the carbon
@@thehouse thank you. Appreciate the response!
Are all the step on bindings re:flex? Will they not work as est bindings do on the channel? Or do they just simply need to be mounted from the inside of the binding because of how step on works?
They have made Limited edition versions of the StepOn in EST in the past, but they mainly do the Reflex system because it’s still a newer system and they want the bindings to be compatible for every single board on the market
Ah makes sense. Do you think they will release any of the current bindings in est later this year?
@@timothypereira227 hard to say, we haven't seen or heard of anything. In the past they released limited amounts in the Mine77 collection, but even those only came in Mediums because thats what size Jake rode.
I want Jason’s Jon 😂 or to at least I want to work for burton !
Wouldn’t be the worst job eh 😉
Best step on boot for super wide feet?
There are a pretty good amount of "wide" specific boots out there now -> www.the-house.com/search?routes={%22fs%22:[{%22f%22:%22Category%22,%22vs%22:[%22Snowboard%20Boots%22]}],%22s%22:%22wide%22}
Hey guys do the ions fit true to size?
Yes, I’m a 10.5 and the Ions fit me perfectly in a 10.5
@@thehouse thanks I appreciate the quick reply!
Amazing video! Helped me decide what exactly to go for! 👏🤝
Glad it helped!
How does the old 3D boards bolt pattern work with the steps on?
You just need to contact Burton or the retailer you bought the bindings from an they can supply you with the compatible 3D discs
So instead of buying the 3d plate .I just bought a new burton skeleton key board!! Long over due seeing my old one is a Burton Twin 64...it's 28 yrs old..lol
Step on is it good for park, rails and jumps?
Depends on your binding and boot flex preferences. Most park riders like a little smoother softer feel and the StepOn system is a pretty quick reacting set up so they are not the most popular amongst park riders
@@thehouse Thank you very much guys, have great season!🏂👊
Is there any difference in the x bindings from last year to this year?
Just the colorway.
What is the colorway? I have not heard that term when talking about the step on x bindings.
@@mattwulff161 Its an all black colorway that are in the video this year with Jakes favorite blue on a couple of the screws. Last years was black with the white highback.
Gotcha. Thanks for the info!
Did last years regular and x step on bindings’ size small go up to 8? For 2023 I’m a size 8 in Burton ion step ons and for the first time in the last 15 years I have to go to a size small for bindings (step on x). When I looked at the size small size adjustment notches, the size 7.5 and size 8 is the same notch, and it looks almost like the size 8 imprint was added after the fact.. is the size 8 notch legitimately for size 8or is it actually just 7.5 and the size medium binding, which would have been size 8 upwards in previous years, couldn’t accommodate so the size 8 boots just have to go in size small bindings now? I’m wondering if size 8 boots in step ons are not getting the extra benefit other sizes do for avoiding toe hang with their notches.
15 min video and you never show how the boots click in or how it is to release them. That's the only thing I wanted to know 😬👎
Make a mens photon in 6 and 6.5 damnit 😅 i have small feet
