Best praise vs top criticism for Burton Limelight
“My daughter has this issue. Burton was our only solution. We got the limelights. They are sufficient. If she was more patient we might have tried the Supremes. You'll likely need to buy them directly from Burton.”
“I must have the World's Most Average Foot and somehow fit well in nearly everything. I used to ride the Burton Limelight SO (women's version of the Ruler) and definitely started noticing significant heel lift after about 30-40 days and replaced at around 50 partially due to heel lift, partially due to wanting a stiffer dual boa. I moved to the DC Phase Pro (women's Judge) and have been very pleased. I have about 30 days on them and they seem like they're holding up well. I did have to put in insoles (cork Sole Performance Thins) to lock down the mid foot a little better but the internal ankle harness is a revelation for heel hold.”
