What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I heat molded these before a week long trip and by day two they already felt like they'd been broken in for a season. The articulating cuff let my ankle move naturally on quick direction changes, and I never felt like I was fighting the boot on longer traverses between runs."Some days on the mountain call for boots that disappear underfoot, and the Nidecker Altai Snowboard Boots are built for riders who want to log long days without thinking twice about their setup. We picture a full day that starts on groomers, wanders into the trees, and ends with one more lap chasing a side hit as the light fades, all in the same comfortable stride. The Asym3F BOA(R) Fit System uses asymmetrically positioned lace guides to spread pressure evenly across the forefoot, cutting down on the fatigue that usually creeps in by afternoon. A heat moldable liner and 3D Pro Insole lock in a personalized fit over time, while the articulating cuff lets the ankle flex naturally through quick transitions without losing support when the terrain gets serious.
