Lightweight and Breathable Upper Provides Exceptional Comfort
When you’re out on the lacrosse field dodging defenders and sprinting downfield, the last thing you want is a heavy, suffocating cleat. That’s why New Balance loaded the Burn X with a lightweight, breathable upper that keeps your feet feeling fresh.
Constructed from synthetic materials, the upper includes strategic mesh paneling that allows air to flow in and out. This enhances ventilation and reduces heat buildup inside the cleat during intense gameplay. Nothing wrecks your comfort faster than a hot, sweaty foot inside a steamy cleat.
In addition to breathability, the synthetic upper materials keep weight to a minimum. Ounces matter when you’re trying to fly past opposing players and generate explosive speed. The Burn X won’t weigh you down – it’s engineered for featherlight agility.
The lightweight feel extends throughout the entire shoe thanks to the low-profile design. With a minimized cleat and lower heel-to-toe drop, the Burn X provides a close-to-the-ground feel for cat-like maneuverability. You’ll feel fleet-footed and fast when you have these cleats laced up tight.
When battling for a ground ball or cutting on the crease, you need a shoe that disappears on your foot. The Burn X is built for max comfort with a minimalistic sensation. The upper wraps your foot like a glove for zero distractions.
Comfort also comes from the smooth, seamless interior lining. Without bulky seams or interior stitching, you avoid potential irritation and hot spots. The Burn X upper perfectly balances lightweight performance and cloud-like comfort – a lethal combo for dominating the midfield.
REVlite Midsole Delivers Responsive Cushioning and Durability
The midsole is the engine that drives any great performance shoe, and that’s especially true for cleats that take a beating on the lacrosse field. The Burn X features New Balance’s REVlite midsole foam that provides the ideal blend of cushioning, responsiveness, and durability.
REVlite is a cutting-edge EVA foam compound engineered for supportive comfort and energy return. EVA stands for “ethylene vinyl acetate” – it’s a lightweight foam that compress when force is applied. The compressed foam then springs back and returns energy to your foot as you transition through the gait cycle.
This responsive bounce enhances your movement and helps fight fatigue during intense gameplay. REVlite has inherent cushioning properties to absorb impact while retaining a firm, responsive feel underfoot. You get shock attenuation without a mushy or sluggish ride.
The midsole construction utilizes a 6mm drop from heel to toe to promote a smooth, natural foot roll through each step. This enhances your stability while running drills or dodging defenders on the move. The Burn X feels agile and suited for fast cuts in any direction.
A full-length footbed supplies additional cushioning and support across the entire foot. Under the ball of your foot, extra foam helps alleviate pressure during quick stops, starts, and direction changes. The footbed also wicks away moisture to keep your feet dry and blister-free inside the cleat.
In terms of durability, the REVlite compound retains its bounce and cushioning properties far longer than standard EVA foams. That means the Burn X will maintain its responsive feel well into the season as the mileage piles up.
Your feet and legs take a real pounding during lacrosse games and practices, so proper cushioning and shock absorption are must-have features. The REVlite midsole gives the Burn X a sturdy foundation of comfort that also energizes your foot for quick assaults up the field.
Low-Profile Design Enhances Traction and Agility
Lacrosse requires cat-like quickness and the ability to cut on a dime to elude defenders. The Burn X is engineered with a low-profile design to keep you close to the turf for enhanced agility and traction.
With a lower heel-to-toe offset, your foot sits nearer to the ground in a natural position for explosive starts and rapid direction changes. You’ll feel lower to the turf and able to dig in and push off with confidence.
The outsole utilizes triangular cleat pods mapped to high-pressure zones on the foot. This strategic placement focuses traction where you need it most for strong acceleration and gripping the surface.
At the forefoot, two wider cleats are positioned for optimal propulsion during sprints. You’ll feel a stable platform when driving into your strides.
In the heel, a cluster of six cleats grips the turf to counteract forces during cuts, jumps, and dodges. The low heel design also seamlessly transitions into the cleat plate for a smooth heel-to-toe roll.
On the medial forefoot, two cleats give you a pivoting axis for lateral motion and rapid side-to-side movements. The ability to plant, pivot, and push off is crucial when running crisscross patterns and trying to shake defenders.
The outsole rubber compound balances pliable flexibility with durable traction over repeated usage on grass and synthetic turf fields. These cleats will retain their bite so you can plant and drive with confidence from the opening faceoff to the final whistle.
With the Burn X’s close-to-the-ground feel and well-mapped cleat configuration, you’ll have the traction to stop, start, cut, and accelerate at the drop of a stick. Agility is the name of the game, and this low-profile design delivers.
Wide Forefoot Gives Toes Room to Splay for Stability
Playing midfield requires quick dodges, rapid direction changes, and full-out sprints up and down the field. During these dynamic movements, stability is crucial for fast footwork and injury prevention. The Burn X provides a wide forefoot design to give your toes plenty of room to naturally splay for better balance.
The foot is designed to spread out upon ground contact, allowing your big toe and smaller toes to press against the shoe’s edges. This creates a broader base of support under the forefoot. It enhances your lateral stability for side-to-side movements and rapid cutting.
Inside the Burn X, the removable EVA and Lycra comfort tongue is designed with extra volume to allow toe splay room. Your foot won’t feel squished or constrained.
The seamless interior lining also eliminates potential irritation that could distract from foot stability. Smooth inner fabrics keep your foot securely planted and balanced within the shoe.
Under the forefoot, the cleat plate extends laterally to provide a wider platform when planting and pushing off from the turf. With your toes free to naturally splay, you’ll feel balanced and prepared to drive into cuts and dodges.
The Burn X also utilizes a low heel design to promote stability. This places your foot closer to level with the ground so you don’t feel tilted or off-balance.
At the rear, the extended medial heel counter wraps the back and sides of your foot to lock in stability. Pronation support prevents the foot from excessively rolling inward upon landing.
With ample toe room, pronation support, and a stable platform, the Burn X allows your feet and ankles to perform at their athletic best. You’ll have the confidence to plant decisively and cut without restraint when trying to lose defenders.
Innovative Lace-Lock System Enables a Customized, Secure Fit
To play at your peak, you need a cleated shoe that fits like a glove and stays locked onto your foot. The Burn X utilizes a lace-lock system to enable you to customize a secure, flawless fit.
Fit is crucial in lacrosse footwear. A loose-fitting cleat results in instability, slips, and loss of power transfer when sprinting. But an overly tight shoe causes painful pressure points and reduced blood flow.
New Balance engineered the Burn X with a lace-locking midfoot panel that lets you micro-adjust tension and create your ideal fit. Located near the eyelets, the lace-lock allows you to cinch the laces to your exact preference. You get a truly personalized fit dialed to your foot shape.
The synthetic leather upper also adapts to your foot for moldable security. It hugs the contours of your foot without pressure spots or discomfort, so you can focus on the game and not your shoes.
Inside the shoe, smooth fabric lining creates a seamless interior that reduces potential irritation as you cinch the laces tight. Total comfort comes from the perfect combination of a customized lace-up fit and smooth, plush interior.
The midfoot saddle utilizes textured synthetic leather that provides structure and support when locking down the laces. Integrated overlay panels also hold the foot securely in place without flex or movement inside the shoe.
With the Burn X’s innovative lacing tech, your foot remains comfortable and totally locked-in. You’ll reduce energy loss and maximize power transfer when sprinting, dodging, and unleashing your shot. Proper fit means everything for peak performance.
Removable EVA and Lycra Comfort Tongue Improves Ankle Flexion
Quick cuts, dodges, and sprints demand free ankle flexion and a wide range of motion. The Burn X utilizes a removable EVA and Lycra comfort tongue that enhances mobility while delivering a smooth, non-irritating feel across the ankle joint.
The thin, low-profile tongue is designed to avoid restriction when you plant and sharply change direction. A restrictive tongue would hinder your ankle mobility – a cleated lacrosse shoe needs plenty of flex.
Engineered from soft, flexible EVA foam, the tongue compresses easily as your ankle flexes forward. This allows your ankle to move through its natural range of motion when running patterns on the field.
Lycra fabric on the tongue’s exterior creates a smooth interface across the front of your ankle. The elastic Lycra moves with your ankle during flexion and prevents abrasion that could lead to blisters.
Inside the cleat, seamless interior lining also enhances comfort and eliminates potential irritation during repetitive ankle flexion.
By removing pressure and abrasion at the ankle joint, the Burn X comfort tongue maximizes your mobility. You’ll feel limber and able to plant, cut, and accelerate without restriction.
The plush cushioning also absorbs lace pressure that could otherwise cause discomfort. Padding beneath the laces enhances the shoe’s secure fit without digging into your foot or ankle.
With the Burn X’s flexible tongue and smooth interior, your ankle gains free range of motion. You’ll have the mobility and agility needed to perform ankle-breaking jukes against defenders.
Textured Footbed Adds Comfort while Wicking Away Moisture
Even the best lacrosse players sweat buckets during intense gameplay. And moisture inside your cleats can quickly wreck comfort and lead to blisters. That’s why the Burn X utilizes a textured footbed that provides cushioning while actively wicking away sweat.
The removable Ortholite footbed features open-cell foam that’s highly breathable and moisture-wicking. Tiny air channels allow hot air and vapor to escape the shoe. This prevents a hot, humid foot environment inside the cleat.
Ortholite foam also has natural antimicrobial properties to inhibit odor-causing bacteria growth. Your shoes stay fresher for longer even when your feet sweat a lot.
Underfoot, the foam footbed has a textured surface that massages the plantar fascia. Small bumps stimulate the tissue to increase blood flow and reduce fatigue in the arches and forefoot. This enhances comfort over the course of a game.
The foam itself compresses to absorb shock and provide soft cushioning with each step. Your foot stays comfortable whether sprinting upfield or cutting across the crease.
During downtime on the sidelines, the Ortholite footbed’s open-cell construction allows the Burn X to ventilate and dry out faster before hitting the field again.
With moisture-wicking performance, anti-odor tech, and plush cushioning, the Burn X footbed keeps your feet cool, fresh and energized for your best performances under pressure.
Asymmetrical Toe Design Aligns Foot Naturally Through the Gait Cycle
Your foot rolls from heel to toe in a natural motion during running and cutting moves. To optimize comfort and stability through each step, the Burn X utilizes an asymmetrical toe design that aligns the foot for a smooth heel-to-toe transition.
Rather than a purely straight shape, the toe area angles inward on the medial side. This helps guide your foot into proper alignment as your weight transfers forward.
The angled toe profile allows your big toe to point straight ahead as it naturally wants to do. Meanwhile, the smaller toes angle slightly inward. This reduces stress across the joints and enhances stability.
On the lateral edge, the toe area extends straight back from the ball of the foot to provide balance through the push-off phase of your gait cycle. You get a stable launch pad when accelerating forward.
The extra roomy forefoot also allows natural toe splay to occur, which further promotes proper alignment. Your foot feels balanced and centered inside the Burn X for a smooth heel-to-toe transition.
The dual-density footbed also enhances gait cycle movement. Softer foam under the heel absorbs impact forces upon landing. Firmer foam under the forefoot promotes an energized toe-off.
With the asymmetrical toe shape guiding your foot into proper positioning through each step, the Burn X keeps you aligned, supported, and moving fluidly on the field.
Durable Rubber Outsole Designed for Optimal Traction on Turf
Whether accelerating, cutting, or pivoting, lacrosse cleats need to grip the turf and hold tight. The Burn X is engineered with a rubber outsole compound that balances grip, flexibility, and durability for confident traction on grass and synthetic fields.
At the heel, the outsole flares outward to expand the surface contact area. This provides a broad, stable base of support when planting your foot to pivot or change direction. The wide heel platform reduces wobble so you can cut sharply and rapidly.
Beneath the forefoot, triangular cleat pods with defined edges give you crisp bite when pushing off into sprints or dodges. The cleats are aligned with high-pressure zones on the foot for optimal traction. Wider cleats at the big toe joint and ball of foot enhance propulsion.
Strategic flex grooves run throughout the length of the outsole to promote smooth heel-to-toe transitions. The grooves allow the sole to bend in sync with the foot’s natural gait cycle movement. This enhances agility, stability, and speed.
The cleat studs themselves utilize a mix of conical and bladed shapes to deliver multidirectional traction. Conical studs provide grip for forward motion, while bladed studs supply lateral traction for cuts and pivots.
New Balance chose a durable rubber compound to retain outsole traction over repeated hardcore use on rugged outdoor terrain. The pliable rubber also flexes naturally for unrestricted ankle mobility.
Whether it’s slippery turf or worn grass fields, the Burn X’s engineered outsole equips you with the traction needed to play at the limit. Your cuts stay sharp and sprints stay fast even in poor conditions.
Strategic Flex Grooves Promote Natural Foot Movement and Motion
Lacrosse requires fast starts, rapid cuts, and constant motion. To match the foot’s natural movement patterns, the Burn X incorporates strategic flex grooves that enhance flexibility and multi-directional agility.
Cut into the outsole rubber, the flex grooves run horizontally across the width of the shoe and vertically from heel to toe. This allows the sole to flex and bend in sync with your foot’s gait cycle motions.
At toe-off, horizontal and vertical grooves combine to let the forefoot softly bend and spring forward into each step. You’ll feel a smooth transition as weight transfers from heel to toe.
During cuts and pivots, the vertical and horizontal grooves enable side-to-side flex. Your foot can twist naturally upon planting without restriction from a stiff sole.
Flex grooves at the metatarsal joints give your forefoot the freedom to fan out and splay for enhanced stability. Meanwhile, grooves at the midfoot allow natural arch articulation.
By facilitating flexion and fanning at the critical foot joints, the grooved outsole delivers unhindered mobility. Your feet can move and flex freely to accelerate, cut, and twist across the turf.
The flex grooves also channel turf debris away from the sole during play. This helps maintain traction by preventing clogging of the cleat studs over time.
With the Burn X’s strategically grooved outsole giving your foot free range of motion, your ankles and feet can perform athletic moves at peak capacity for complete domination on the lacrosse field.
Extended Medial Heel Counter Improves Stability During Cuts and Dodges
Lacrosse requires constant start-stop motions and sharp side-to-side cuts to elude defensive pressure. To provide rearfoot stability during these multi-directional movements, the Burn X utilizes an extended medial heel counter that locks in support.
The hard heel counter wraps from the back around the medial midfoot area. This creates a firm edge to brace your foot against during forceful direction changes.
When planting your foot to cut left or right, the extended heel counter acts like a barricade that contains pronation (inward foot roll). This enhances stability and balance so you can corner sharply without rolling the foot.
On jump landings and hard cuts, the heel counter cups the heel to prevent lateral drift and keep you foot tracking straight. You’ll feel centered and supported for controlled agility.
The heel counter integrates seamlessly with the outsole rubber at the bottom. This creates smooth heel-to-toe flexibility while retaining lateral rigidity for cuts and hard stops.
Inside the shoe, smooth fabric lining surrounds the heel counter for a comfortable foot feel even when you really crank down on the shoe to carve the turf. There’s no bite or pressure.
With the Burn X’s strategic heel counter technology, your rearfoot stays aligned and supported through the most intense motions. Stability gives you the confidence to plant hard, pivot sharply, and accelerate across the field.
Molded Heel Cup Locks the Foot In Place to Prevent Slipping
When making quick cuts or dodging past defenders, the last thing you want is your foot sliding around uncontrolled inside your cleat. To lock in a secure heel fit, the New Balance Burn X utilizes a molded heel cup that cradles the back of your foot.
Shaped from dense foam, the integrated heel cup provides a custom cradle that keeps your heel locked in place. The contoured shape matches your heel anatomy for a tailored fit.
The deep cup feel surrounds your heel to prevent up-down motion inside the shoe. This enhances control and power transfer when sprinting and pushing off forcefully from the turf.
The molded foam is also generously padded to eliminate heel slippage. Friction between your sock and the interior of the shoe keeps your foot from sliding.
On the outsole, the rearfoot flares outward to expand the platform beneath your heel. This provides a broad, stable base when planting your foot to change direction. Less wobble means greater control.
The integrated heel cup also works synergistically with the padded ankle collar to lock in comfort and support. Plush foam surrounds the ankle bones to prevent rub and irritation.
With your foot immobilized and stabilized inside the contoured heel cup, you can corner sharply, cut rapidly, and drive into sprints with total confidence in the Burn X cleat. Precision footwork and speed give you an edge over defenders.
Superior Arch Support Reduces Foot Fatigue and Injury Risk
The arches of your feet take a pounding during lacrosse games and practices. Without proper arch support, fatigue can set in rapidly. And worse – lack of support also raises injury risk. That’s why New Balance equipped the Burn X with superior arch reinforcement to keep your feet fresh and healthy all season long.
The lightweight single-density EVA midsole has increased rigidity under the arch. This provides a supportive platform beneath your arches to reduce strain on the plantar fascia ligament.
In the removable footbed, sturdy arch bridges supply supplemental support and spring to help prevent your arches from flattening excessively. This promotes efficient energy transfer up through your legs for less tiring runs up and down the field.
Deep forefoot flex grooves also allow your foot to articulate freely at the metatarsal joints where the toes meet the arches. Freedom of motion here enhances natural gait mechanics.
Your feet will feel re-energized mile after mile, allowing you to keep attacking all game long. And you’ll reduce risk of painful arch and heel injuries like plantar fasciitis.
The Burn X’s comfortable yet supportive arch zone gives you a clear edge over opponents who are battling foot fatigue and injury. When arches are supported properly, you possess the stamina to out-hustle and out-work the competition as games wear on. Superior conditioning pays dividends late in close battles.
Low Cleat Positioning Enhances Acceleration Out of Dodges
In lacrosse, success heavily relies on change-of-direction skills and the ability to accelerate out of cuts and dodges. To maximize these explosive motions, the Burn X utilizes an outsole with a low-to-the-ground cleat positioning that keeps you close to the turf.
With reduced sole thickness between your foot and the field, the Burn X promotes a natural foot position for digging into cuts and generating rapid acceleration.
The low outsole profile enhances ground contact and stability, allowing you to really carve the turf when pivoting and pushing off in the opposite direction. Defenders can’t keep up with your razor-sharp movements.
Situated near the metatarsal joints, short cleat studs give you a strong grip on the surface when firing out of dodges upfield. The responsive traction inspires confident burst.
In the rearfoot, the heel sits just above the turf for seamless heel-to-toe transitions upon planting. This supports smooth weight transfer into your escape stride upfield.
While low to the ground for responsiveness, the outsole still retains enough thickness for durability and shock absorption. The tuned balance maximizes traction without sacrificing cushioning.
With the Burn X’s low cleat design keeping you close to the turf, your footwork and footspeed receive a definite boost. Defenders won’t know what hit them when you sprint clear after an ankle-breaking dodge.
Stylish Colorways Match Team Uniforms and Express Personal Style
Beyond performance, a great cleat also lets you showcase your individual style and team pride. The New Balance Burn X comes in a variety of stylish color schemes to match your uniform colors or simply express your personal flair.
Classic team hues like Navy, Scarlet Red, Royal Blue, Kelly Green and Vegas Gold allow you to coordinate your footwear with existing jersey colors. Your shoes will perfectly complement the rest of your uniform for a cohesive look.
For schools without defined team colors, the Burn X provides versatile options like Black, White and Grey to mix and match. The contrasting white midsole also gives you a sharp, clean look.
Accent colors like Lemon Lime, Vivid Orange and Energy Red add striking pops when mixed with neutral base shades. The bright colors reflect the high-energy speed and quickness you’ll possess in these cleats.
Unique color fades like a Radiant Emerald green fade and Dark Denim blue fade offer premium style you won’t find in other lacrosse shoes. The Burn X helps you stand out on the field.
New Balance also added reflective details for style that shines under stadium lights. Subtle reflective accents amp up the visual interest.
With the Burn X’s diverse range of colorways, you can support team spirit, stand out from the crowd, or just express your individuality. Form matches function in a cleat built for speed, quickness and eye-catching style.
