Reset everything you know about snowboard boots: Union Reset Pro tested.

When Union first announced they were entering the snowboard boot market, we were curious—but skeptical. Could a brand known for game-changing bindings really shake things up in the world of boots?

After three full days of testing the Union Reset Pro Black and Reset Pro White/Black, we can confidently say: yes, they absolutely can.

A new approach to fit, design & construction

Union didn’t just copy what’s already out there—they started from scratch. From the outside in, these boots are built differently. The Single Frame Shell™ construction gives the boot a sturdy, unified feel, while still allowing for consistent flex season after season.

But what really stood out? The deep heelcup and how it locked us in. All three of us who tested the boots have different foot shapes, yet we each experienced a tight, snug, no-slip fit right out of the box. That’s almost unheard of.

The boots felt more like a piece of precision equipment than footwear.

Stiff, responsive & built for real snowboarding

Make no mistake—this is not a beginner’s boot. The Reset Pro is stiff, ultra-responsive, and made for riders who know what they want from their gear. If you charge hard, carve deep, and expect your setup to keep up all day long, the Reset Pro delivers.

The Dual-Zone BOA® system lets you dial in your fit in seconds, even with gloves on. Quick to adjust, super secure, and ideal for those mid-mountain tweaks when the conditions change.

Comfort that doesn’t compromise

Despite the performance-oriented stiffness, comfort was never sacrificed. The Forma Pro liner, made entirely from memory foam, adapted quickly to each of our foot shapes. After day one, it felt like the boots were custom-molded.

The Ortholite™ 3D insole and Rebound Bushing System™ provided long-lasting cushion, even after hours on snow. Whether you’re hiking a ridge, stomping landings, or riding bell to bell, your feet stay fresh.

Built for the long haul

Union claims these boots are made to last, and from what we’ve seen, we believe them. The materials feel premium, the construction is rock-solid, and the components—like the steel BOA dials and rubber X-Grip sole—are clearly built with durability in mind.

If you're the kind of rider who logs serious days on the mountain each season, or if you're someone who heads to the Alps or Pyrenees every winter like clockwork, the Reset Pro is more than ready.

Final thoughts: Is it worth it?

If you're looking for a traditional, soft-flexing, entry-level boot—this isn’t it. But if you want to feel connected, ride harder, and ditch the sloppy fits and pressure points of mainstream boots, Union has done something truly special here.

The Reset Pro Black and White/Black colorways are available now at Behind The Pines, and we can confidently say: this is one of the most exciting snowboarding products we’ve tested in a long time.
