Super stiff good quality and comfy boot.

Decently pair boots. Easy to boot fit. Medium widith & heel pocket a little on the roomy size for average foot. Definitely will need a footbed if you are not a weekend warrior. Liner is decent but Zipfits GFT will fit & dial it in. Medium stiff, hopefully it retainers it shape. Great cuff articulation to avoid the ankle wrinkle. Hopefully the toe box retains it shape; seems beefier than Driver shells but time will tell. Boa lacing hit the 2 zones adequately; 3 would be good. Thicker tongue would be great avoid the top of foot hot spots as the boot wears in.

this is my 4th pair of Nidecker boots over 12 years. They are great and their customer support is even better, if you have any issues they will help you out

Wow! What an absolutely incredible boot. This is a true five-star product that perfectly blends top-tier performance with amazing comfort.
It delivers that powerhouse feel, reminiscent of the legendary Talon, but with a welcome, slightly softer touch. Don't mistake that for weakness, though—it's still plenty stiff enough to destroy anything in its path and charge through the toughest conditions.
I think of it as a race car with a comfortable seat; you get all the precision and speed of a competition boot without the punishing feel. It is, quite simply, the perfect performance boot.
I absolutely love it. Bring on the snow!

Incredibly unconformable due to poor design location of the heel hold Boa laces, and have ONE YEAR for regular use the I am seeing major material wear in the inner ankle from rubbering against my bindings.

Brought this boot to my response boot for aggressive riding, as it is marketed as. But when I tighten it up to a level to which I get that instance engagement, the heel hold "flaps" (visible in the marketing photos) cut into my ankles and are restricting blood flow through my feet, causing me major foot pain (wt. custom foot beds).

This could have been avoided if:
One - The ankle hold flaps extended to the center of the boot, or were a sign continuous piece. That would better distribute the pressure and hold my heels down.
Two - I'm tightening the top Boa to a snug fit in order to get the shin engagement for fast entry into deep carves. Because the top Boa also controls the ankle flaps, they are being overly tighten compared to the rest of the boot. If the ankle flaps were controlled be the lower foot Boa, I would have less issues with the boot.

I've never owner a boot to cause me so much problems, and also show potential. I will be bringing these to a cobbler for modifications because there is the potential that these could be an excellent response boot. This is now the second time I've had problems with Nidecker gear and service.
