Men's Burton Waverange X Step On® Snowboard Boots
Dial in your fit and get after it.
The Waverange X Step On® boots are built for riders who want surfy maneuverability and a fluid range of motion without sacrificing performance. With all-around playful flex, total control from Dual-Zone BOA® lacing, and the effortless ease of Step On®, these boots hit that happy medium between freestyle fun and all-mountain capability.
The Step On® system creates a clean, simple boot-to-binding interface so you can step right on and ride — no straps, no fuss, just hard-charging response from the moment your feet hit the snow. A Dual-Zone BOA® Fit System lets you independently micro-adjust the upper and lower boot tension for a custom, dialled-in feel every time. The heat-mouldable Imprint™ 3 Liner feels great straight out of the box with no hotspots or break-in period, while a hook-and-loop closure with inner lace lock and lightweight power panels keep everything snug and responsive. Underfoot, the X Flex Vibram® Step On® outsole with Vibram® EcoStep™ rubber and traction lugs — made with a 30% recycled rubber compound — delivers durable, grippy traction run after run.

Frequently Asked Questions:
What size should I order?
Burton Waverange X Step On® boots run true to size — order your standard men's US shoe size. As with all snowboard boots, they should feel noticeably snug out of the box: toes lightly brushing the front of the liner when standing upright, heel sitting down with minimal lift. That's the correct fit. Once you drop into a riding stance, your heel locks down and your toes pull back from the liner — the boot wraps your foot properly. A boot that feels roomy in the shop will be sloppy on the mountain within an hour. If you're between sizes, go half a size down. The Dual-Zone BOA® also gives you the ability to fine-tune upper and lower tension independently, so you can really dial in the fit once you're in the right shell size. Our full boot fit guide is at twelveboardstore.com.au/pages/snowboard-boots-how-to-choose-and-fit-guide, or call us on 03 9421 2293 and we'll sort you out.

Do you offer professional boot fitting and heat moulding?
Yes — and it's free when you buy your boots from us. Come into the store at 435A Bridge Rd Richmond and our team will check your shell fit, measure your foot, and heat mould your Imprint™ 3 Liner to your exact foot shape on the spot. The Imprint™ 3 uses heat-mouldable construction that conforms to your foot's specific contours, eliminating pressure points and locking in your heel so the boot feels dialled from run one. Not in Melbourne? We can walk you through the at-home heat moulding process over the phone or by message — it's straightforward and the liner responds well.
What if I get the wrong size or the fit isn't right?
Get in touch before you do anything else — call us on 03 9421 2293, message through the contact page, or email info@twelveboardstore.com.au. The Dual-Zone BOA® gives you independent upper and lower tension control, so many fit issues can be dialled out with a simple adjustment or a heat mould session. If the boot genuinely isn't right for your foot, we'll swap it. Boots must be unworn outside — lodge floors and carpet only — and returned in original condition.
Is the Waverange X Step On® right for me, or should I look at something different?
The Waverange X Step On® sits in the soft-to-medium flex range and is built for riders who want a surfy, playful feel with the convenience of Step On® entry. It's a great all-mountain boot for beginner-to-intermediate through to intermediate-advanced riders who prioritise fluid movement and easy-going ride feel over maximum stiffness and precision. If you're just starting out and want something very forgiving, a softer boot may suit you better. If you're an advanced rider chasing aggressive carving performance or charging serious lines, you might want to look at something with more flex and support. Not sure? Call us on 03 9421 2293 and we'll give you an honest steer on whether the Waverange X is the right match for where your riding is at right now.
Do I need specific bindings for these boots?
Yes — the Waverange X Step On® boots are only compatible with Burton Step On® bindings. They will not work with traditional strap bindings. If you don't already have Step On® bindings, we stock the full Burton Step On® binding range in store and online. Give us a call on 03 9421 2293 and we can help you put together the right boot and binding combo for your setup.
