Nitro Profile TLS Step On 2023

The 2023 Nitro Profile TLS Step On boot joins the family of Step On compatible footwear, bringing the superior Nitro fit, comfort and performance that we all love. Fully equipped with all the technical features that set Nitro boots apart from the rest of the pack; the quick and easy TLS zonal lacing, a high end Cloud 9 liner, and adjustable stiffness with the removable Power Tongue Stiffener, but with full Step On compatibility. Once you try a pair of Profile Step On boots, you will finally understand just how comfortable a pair of snowboard boots can be and with the added convenience of Burton’s Step On system, there will be no looking back to traditional boot and binding setups.

Boot Type: Advanced All Mountain

Boot Flex (1 = Soft / 10 = Stiff): 8/10

Lacing System: TLS 5 Twin Lacing System

The Nitro TLS 5 Twin Lacing System is one of the best speed lace systems on the market, with easy lace engagement and release, along with low abrasion Dyneema laces for long-lasting, reliable performance. TLS 5 features two independent upper and lower lacing zones, so you can lock in your ideal fit in a flash, adjust your lacing without needing to step out of your bindings, and bail out of your boots in record time at the end of the day.

Liner: Cloud 9 Liner

The Nitro Cloud 9 Liner is one of the best liners from Nitro, with a lightweight, supportive fit that will blow almost any other liner out of the water. All Nitro liners are heat mouldable, and while it isn’t necessary, a heat mold can give you a more custom fit from day 1 as opposed to wearing the boot in. The Cloud 9 Liner comes with a triple-density Ortholite Footbed, which offers superior shock absorption and energy return with minimal compression, so your footbed will perform consistently for the entire life of your boot. It is also quick-drying, extremely lightweight, and has an anti-microbial coating, making your boots smell better, feel better, and last longer.

ILS Liner Lacing

The Nitro ILS Liner Lacing system features a lacing harness directly connected to the boot shell that snugly wraps around the liner, firmly securing it in the shell for strong hold and a precise fit.

Re/Lace Liner Locker

The Re/Lace Liner Locker revolutionizes how a liner lace functions. During a day of snowboarding, your boots are going to loosen. Your foot settles, your boot expands, it happens. With the Re/Lace Liner Locker, once the laces are locked in at the start of the day all you need to do is pull the liner lace tab to retighten your liner, without ever needing to undo your boots.

Therminator Shield

The Therminator Shield is a thin thermal layer between sole and liner that reflects heat back into your boot, keeping your feet warm all day.

Cushioning / Traction: Dual Density Ortholite Footbed with EVA Midsole and Step On Rubber Sole

The Dual Density Ortholite Footbed is created with excellent levels of shock absorption and energy return. It also has a unique open cell structure that wicks moisture away, dries quickly, and contains a patented anti-microbial formulation to fight fungus, bacteria and odour. This lightweight technology provides optimum performance without adding excess weight to the boot. The EVA Midsole reduces overall weight and provides cushioning and insulation and the Burton Step On Rubber Sole has an effective traction pattern, with an abrasion resistant, grippy rubber sole that provides durability, grip and insulation.

Air Dampening

The best shock absorbing technology on the planet, this air suspension system from Nitro keeps your heels from getting bruised on hard landings, and noticeably increases comfort without compromising response or control.

Shell: Armoured Spine

Nitro uses an anatomically-shaped and 3D-molded heel reinforcement to provide even boot flex and long-lasting heel fit.

Flex Link

This boot features a flexible panel at the ankle for consistent flex without buckling and more response without adding bulk.

Internal Ankle Support

This internal ankle support system puts an anatomically moulded plate over the top of your ankle, evenly distributing lace pressure and giving you a more precise fit.

Power Tongue Stiffener

This removable piece adjusts the stiffness of your tongue, and in turn, the response of your boot. Add it in for more aggressive turns and quicker response, or take it out for a little more freedom and a more relaxed ride.

45 Degree Laceglider

This plastic insert is positioned along the ankle to significantly reduce lace friction and makes tying up the TLS system even easier.

Bail Out System

A pull tab placed in the middle of the TLS makes unlacing the system even easier. By pulling the TLS on the outside of the boot, it allows for effortless unlacing.
