It depends on the system. Burton Step On requires Burton Step On boots with integrated toe and heel cleats—standard boots will not work. Nidecker Supermatic works with any standard snowboard boot because it uses a different step-in mechanism. If you currently ride non-Burton boots and don't want to replace them, Supermatic is your step-on option. If you're open to Burton boots, the Step On system is more established and widely available.
