Burton's Sapphire Snowboarding Boot is made for women who want a light and responsive boot with a more mellow flex. If you spend most of your time riding softer snow or want a boot that is more forgiving on landings, the Sapphire is for you. With its skate shoe styling you might think the Sapphire is made for a life in the park, but lightweight support lets you take it anywhere in style. With its articulated cuff, which allows the upper and lower halves to flex independently, you get smooth, consistent flex that won't pinch or ever be uncomfortable. If you've had trouble flexing into high-end boots, Burton's Sapphire will be more comfortable and still give you the response you're looking for.
