The boot isn't perfect (there's always some heel life), but I rode it all of last season and it delivered. The boots lasted the season despite 75+ days on the hills, so obviously my experience with them was different than yours. With that said, riding 130+ days a season will take a toll on just about any boot and switching to hard boots will come with its own kind of problems (I'm assuming you don't ride fish/carve boards). With that said, the bindings and board you use will have an effect on how quickly your boots loosen up. You might want to invest in a solid pair of bindings that will take some of the pressure off the boots. What board and bindings do you use?

Their quality is terrible. I destroyed a brand new pair i got this season in 2 months...and that's after i blew out a pair of new Driver X's. Then when i go to warranty them, instead of sending me new boots, Burton sends me a gift card. (3 months later). Does anybody make a quality boot? I ride Squaw Valley and i need a stiff boot that can hold up to 130+ days a year. Do i really need to switch to hard boots cuz that'd suck. I realize i'm asking alot but at least review a boot that can last half the season. I'm too poor to buy more than 2 boots a season. Ok man, i’m going to have to disagree with your Ion review.
