Burton: Youth Grom Lace Snowboard Boots

Sized for kids with shoe sizes 4 to 6, this Burton Grom boot features laces instead of the Shred Ready Velcro closures found on the smaller Grom boots from sizes 11C through 3K. Because this boot design emphasizes comfort, it's an ideal choice for new and beginning riders. The Burton Grom Boot features EVA sole cushioning with plenty of rubber ice spikes for traction in and around the day lodge. This boot doesn't have a removable liner, but the Thinsulate lining helps feet remain warm and the adaptable EVA Room-to-Grow footbed might help parents stretch the use of the boot for an extra season or two, depending on how fast your snowboarder grows. If you're looking for a boot for an aggressive beginner or an advancing intermediate rider, consider a Burton boot with a smidgen more support like the Burton Kid's Ruler or the Kid's Shaun White Small.
