THE PRO'S TAKE
The Nidecker Altai women's snowboard boot is a high performance boot at a great price! The Altai features a dual boa lacing system allowing you to customize the tightness on the instep and shin. The heat moldable Silver liner can be thermo fitted by a boot fitter to hone in the perfect fit.
MANUFACTURER'S DESCRIPTION
The Altai-W is the centrepiece of our new women’s boot collection, offering premium features and freeride-friendly support at an unbeatable price. It’s built around an asymmetrical upper that fits perfectly with Nidecker and Flow binding straps, eliminating pressure points. The Dual Dial BOA® Fit System features textile-coated laces and twin dials to allow you to control the upper and lower sections independently. Underneath, our lightweight B.F.T Gravity 2.0 outsole delivers awesome cushioning and traction, with a rubber toe-tip to boost grip when hiking over ice and rock.
We’ve smoothed out the connection between the outsole and the boot via a molded section we call the Transition Zone, eliminating the usual hard edge to prevent it from getting caught in your binding’s heelcup. A tough rubber print on the toe box protects the boot and adds a touch more style. Inside, we’ve introduced a cosy new Silver liner made from the snuggest materials; it’s comfortable straight out the box – with good wriggle room for your toes – and heat-moldable for a custom fit. The Altai is a mid-stiff model with plenty of lateral support, making it great for laying down carves in resort or threading lines through the trees. If you love the art of the turn, you’ll love this boot.
3D Molded Tongue
Our asymmetric 3D Molded Tongue is curved more sharply towards the medial side to match the natural ridgeline of your forefoot. This alleviates pressure points and provides a more balanced feeling of comfort and support versus a standard straight tongue.
3D Molded Toe Box
Our 3D Toebox eliminates extra layers and seams around the forefoot, improving water resistance and durablility. The streamlined design also makes it easier to slide your boot in and out of the binding.
Articulating Flex Zone
The upper boot cuff is asymmetrically connected to the lower boot, allowing the ankle to flex naturally and providing great support without shell distortion.
ASYM 3F
A unique asymmetric boot design co-developed with BOA® that generates optimal support and flex. The asym tongue features lace guides positioned on the flatter forefoot areas for more even closure and less point-loaded pressure. Increased medial arch support reduces foot fatigue and cramps.
Rubber Backstay
A durable section at the back of the boot that protects it from wear. Our unique Transition Zone means the rubber is bonded smoothly to the outsole with no ridges, eliminating any snags when you enter or exit your bindings.
