As someone who usually is a park rat these boots were great when trying to actually ride some freeride terrain and powder still feels awesome off big jumps but would use a bit of a softer boot for jibing I love the hybrid design for different terrains

riding for over 30 years. Still doing 100+ days a year. These are the best boots I have had in many years. the heel hold is amazing, build quality is great. for me street shoe size fits perfect. I usually run aftermarket liners in all my boots but with these the stock liners are great, I do have custom footbeds and I heat molded the liners.

I have a extra bone in my right ankle and if I snowboard for more than 2 hours, my ankle starts to hurt. I had a double boa boots and I couldn't ride for more than 3 hours. But after using this boots, I didn't feel any pain at all. Even after snowboarding for a long time, my ankle was still in a good condition to ride. Eureka~~

Excellent boots. Good and tight just using the shoe laces only and it has BOA for ankles is a bonus. Light and stiff enough switching from Burton Ion. Usually my Burton Iron liners start to wear around the ankles after one season of riding but that didn�t happen on the Nidecker liners.
I used the template to pick my size and it worked well.

Aside from a narrow toe box that doesn't fit my foot great, this is one of the better boots I have ever tried. The internal boa tightens the tongue around my ankle and is definitely the first feature I notice. Paired with traditional laces so I can dial in the outer just the way I like this is my favorite lacing system I have ever had. The other thing I noticed right off the bat was a sleek silhouette and small foot print. I don't like clunky boots that add length and girth to my foot. These boots are slim, sleek, but still warm. I give these boots a 9/10 only because of the narrow toe box. Is I had a narrower foot it would be a match made in heaven.
