I got these boots after wearing out my Burton’s, and so glad I did! They’re great looking boots and the quality is apparent. At first, I could barely get my feet in them because they’re so stiff but after I heat molded the liners it was a lot easier.
I’ve had one day on the mountain so far and love them. They were super comfortable all day and the heel locking boa system is amazing. The stiffness made for less work when I was making turns, and they’re crazy responsive which is great in tight tree runs.
Well worth the money in my opinion, I know I’ll be riding mine for several years. Well done Nidecker!

Awesome. Been wearing flow nidecker boots for decades! Just used these in mammoth and they rule! Hard to get into first time then all good

The boots fit large (lengthwise) but are of very high quality. I sized down vs other brands but still fear I might have too much length once the liner fully breaks in. I don't think I could size down further as it too tight width wise on my pinky toes as well as volume (height) on the front of the foot but the liner has packed out in these areas so the boots are now comfortable in my thinnest socks. Still can't comfortably wear my slightly thicker socks but we might get there as I get more days. Currently at 6 days, getting more comfortable every day.

Heel lock is great, don't need to use the heel lock boa unless it's very steep or tight. The heel lock boa is uncomfortable on the ankle when cinched down but such is the price we pay for performance... Fine on groomers without it.

The stiffness is good, stiff but still has some give.

The power strap is of great quality & I'm hopeful it'll take some of the pressure off the main boa as I've experienced all BOA's start to loosen off after ~50 days once the boot is well broken in from the forces even if it's all replaced via warranty. Ie. I'm "hopeful" the power strap will reduce the force on the boa, giving it more life once the boots well broken in.

Boot is very much ahead of the competition in terms of build. The liner is like they actually put a thought into it. Pretty beefy. The foam it self is thicker than most Burton & Thirty Two shells. Shell is near TPU/Hardboot stiff. Should be great for sidehill on the splitty or charging pass skoolers in the frozen chunder. Hopefully, retains it shape and flex better than a pair of Ions/Drivers. One feedback is I wish Nidecker come with a version of their Diamond liner that can accept refillable cork pockets like zipfits to give shredders a more customized fit. Also, semi-auto crampon soles.

43 year old expert snowboarder, snowboarding 30+ years. Needed a stiff powerful boot. This one is it. Not only that, its super comfy. Took a little to break them in, but so did my driver X.

Veramente molto rigidi ideali per chi cerca il massimo sostegno per intagliare curve sugli spigoli

Bought the Index to further advance my carving. Insane control and direct feedback - highly recommended!

One Note: i suggest wearing the boots around the house for a couple of days before you hit the slopes for the first time to enhance comfort.

It fits perfectly and feels great. It�s so stiff.

I love the feel of the new liner but miss the shape of the old one from last season, with the wrap around feel.
The boot itself is perfectly built and the quality feels amazing.
The only thing I would say is that the boot got a bit narrow compared to the last couple of version including the talon. After heat molding the liner and the shell I can finally ride it.
Impressive boots, this coming from a full cert snowboard instructor.

These boots are as stiff as my hard-boot I used toi have. Combine with my Thruster board and StepMatic, wow!
I would really want to add the carbon bindings but not available in my size.
I already got many comments from people interested to know what I'm riding :)
Great job Nidecker.
