1: Can you buy Burton snowboard boot liners separately from boots?
As of 2023, Burton does not sell snowboard boot liners independently of snowboard boots. However, we know that snowboard boot liners don’t last forever, and it’s possible that they will wear out before your snowboard boots do. If you need new snowboard boot liners, there are two options for getting replacements.
- Call and then drop into your local ski and snowboard boot fitter to see what your options are for getting a suitable replacement boot liner.
- Get a genuine Burton replacement snowboard boot liner from a third-party retailer like FixMyBinding.com (North America).
Pro tip: To get the best performance from your snowboard boots, it’s important to ensure that your snowboard boot liner is sized properly for your outer boot. An experienced boot fitter can help you get the correct liner.
2: What makes a snowboard boot liner good?
At a minimum, a good snowboard boot liner should be warm enough to keep your feet comfortable while providing enough support to control your snowboard. Additionally, a good quality snowboard boot liner should be built so that stitching, adhesives, and materials last for at least 1-2 seasons of regular use.
There are several components that make up Burton boot liners and determine their performance.
- Footbed
- Power Panels
- Lining
- Boot Liner Lacing
Additionally, Burton snowboard boot liners come in a variety of tiers, with increasing support or response as you move upwards in performance.
- Imprint 1+
- Imprint 2
- Imprint 3
- Imprint 3x
- Life Liner
- Life+ Liner
Pro tip: The model of your snowboard boot liner is embroidered on the back of the cuff, right at the top.
3: Snowboard Boot Liner Care & Warranty Coverage
First things first. To keep your liners in the game, you need to exercise good snowboard boot liner care. Proper care will prevent premature wear out and prevent your liners from smelling like a locker room. Proper care is easy if you follow these three steps.
- After riding, remove the boot liners from your boots.
- Next, remove the footbeds from your liners.
- Thoroughly dry everything (yes, after every riding session).
Pro tip: It's fine to use a heater or fireplace to help your liners dry out quicker, however, it's important to ensure liners don't burn, catch on fire, or sit near a heat source for any longer than is needed to dry them.
Ongoing care will extend the life of your liners and boots and require less washing. For more information about boot liner care, read How to Store Snowboards & Other Gear During the Summer.

4: Are Burton Toaster snowboard boot liners still available?
Burton Toaster snowboard boot liners have been discontinued and are no longer available. While you may occasionally still find them for sale from other retailers, it’s important to know that our ability to support customers with warranty issues on this product is limited and may not be possible if you need replacement parts or batteries.
If you experience cold feet (not on your wedding day), Burton’s snowboard boot engineers recommend investing in heated socks to keep your toes warm. Heated socks are more versatile, allowing you to use them with a variety of winter footwear. They also tend to be less expensive than heated snowboard boot liners.
5: Are Burton snowboard boot liners heat moldable?
All Burton snowboard boot liners are heat moldable. For the highest degree of comfort and the best performance on the mountain, we recommend getting your boot liners heat molded at your local Burton Flagship Store or other reputable snowboard shop. Do not attempt to heat mold your boot liners at home as this may damage them and void your warranty.
If you purchased your snowboard boots online at Burton.com or from a Burton Flagship Store, heat molding services at Burton retail locations are free. If you purchased your boots from a non-Burton retailer, getting your boots heat molded may require an additional fee (but we might be able to waive any fees if you roll in with a 6-pack of adult beverages for the store staff). Reach out to your local Burton store to confirm what services are available before dropping in.
6: Can I get replacement snowboard boot liner laces?
Replacement laces for Burton snowboard boot liners are available online and in most snowboard shops.
Other Common Snowboard Boot Liner FAQs
The Burton Guides spend all season talking with riders from around the world. Here are some of the most common questions they've received about snowboard boot liners over the years.
Q: Can you wash snowboard boot liners?
A: You can handwash snowboard boot liners using a wet cloth and room-temperature water. For stubborn stains or heavy soils, add some mild laundry detergent. Make sure to thoroughly air dry your snowboard boot liners after washing. Do not put your snowboard boot liners in the washing machine or dryer.
Q: How do you heat mold snowboard boot liners?
A: Snowboard boot liners should only be heat molded using the equipment specifically designed for this purpose by trained professionals. Essentially, boot liners are placed on a heating apparatus that looks similar to a boot drier, bringing them to a specific temperature. A boot fitter then helps the rider put on the boots and properly tighten them, allowing the liner to shape around the rider’s foot.
Q: Can you heat mold snowboard boot liners more than once?
A: While it is technically possible to heat mold snowboard boot liners multiple times, the experts at Burton recommend only doing it once. Repeat heat moldings can break down the materials in the boot liner prematurely, reducing performance and comfort over time.
Q: How long do snowboard boot liners last?
A: The lifespan of snowboard boot liners depends on multiple factors, including the materials they’re made from, how frequently they’re ridden, how aggressively they’re ridden, and how they are cared for by their owner. To ensure the longest possible life, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for care and always thoroughly dry your boot liners after every riding session.
Q: How do you remove a snowboard boot liner from the snowboard boot shell?
A: Begin by loosening the laces of your outer snowboard boot. Next, grasp the rear cuff of your outer snowboard boot, and with the other hand, grasp the back cuff of the snowboard boot liner. In one smooth motion, pull both hands in opposite directions and the snowboard boot liner should slip out of the boot.
