Rift W 2025

haven’t ridden it yet. but right out the box, it’s super comfy. i feel the stiffness and softness all at once.

One of the best fitting boots I have had in years straight out of the box. Great fit good medium flex and built tuff.

These boots rock. Flat out. Best fit and day one comfort level.

Great boots so far no molding needed, fit amazing and felt great can’t wait to fully break them in totally recommend for easy to intermediate riders!

I've always loved my Nidecker gear! Another user friendly product! Comfortable, stiff (just likeI like my boots) and warm. Easier on and off than my last pair.

Fits like a glove out of the box got size 11 I wear a 10 in DC shoes have always wore an 11 in snowboad boots have rode for 24 days now still feel like the day they came out of the box. Ive only rode vans since they started making snowboard boot in 1993 and airwaves before that but will ride nidecker till I stop snowboarding.Thank you nidecker for a design that is to me perfect from out of the box. In the past boots would change feel after 5 to 10 day first boot after 24 days still feels like day 1.

Love these boots. Very light and easy to tighten. I went up 1 size just to be safe.

I�m usually a size 9 us men�s and I got a 26. 5 boot and it fits perfect. These boots are super comfy with only taking a day maybe two to get broken in I�ve been super impressed with how soft they are and still provides enough support on my ankles for bigger features. It�s best for resort/ park riders I�d say.

Haven't had the chance to ride with these on a mountain yet but a ride on my bf in these was great!

:+1:

Rode these right out of the box for a day at Snowbird on technical terrain with a lot of chunder followed by two days at Brighton - fresh groomers to pow stomping. I used 2 different boards a Capita BSOD and a Nidecker Beta APX with Supermatic bindings on both.

There was some minor pressure pain on my front foot for a couple runs, self-induced however because after adjusting the linersl tongue and boas it was right as rain. Oh, did some hiking too!

These boots are absolutely great for the riding I do. I'd say they're on the stiffer side of what they're rated - at least out of the box, definitely mid-stiff. Highly recommend.

Comfy out of box and break in real nice. Love this goldielocks boot. Not too stiff, not too soft. Second time buying them.

I really like the boots white style, flexible, lightweight and comfortable

Absolutely adore these boots. I work as a snowboard instructor and wear these while on the clock so in addition to being extremely responsive when riding they also are quite comfortable walking around in. Got these to replace my Burton boots because I heard about their waterproofing being excellent and so far have found that reputation to be true. I�ve put on about 20 days since purchasing these boots about a month and a half ago in every condition from rain to powder and they have held up excellently. My first Nidecker purchase but I would definitely look to them again for boots or potentially other items.

The best boots I've ever had! Heat molding made the boot fit so perfectly that it sits tight but does not have any play. The pressure of the bindings divides uniformly, so that it does not feel unconfortable at all, unlike with some boots. The double boa allows to leave some flex to the upper part, but there is no heel lift. These are also light-weight - about 250 g less than my previous boots.

I almost never leave online reviews. I only do so when I feel a product is excellent and exceeds my expectations. I can say the Rift lace boot has done this. I am an advanced rider that does mainly park and halfpipe riding. I have been riding the Rift boots for half a season now so they are broken in at this point (20 days). The boot is true to its flex rating. I am coming into these boots from riding Burton SLX boots for a few seasons as a comparison.

Pros:

-Great flex that allows for tweaking / poking grabs
-Good heel hold
-Incredibly comfortable (did not heat mold liner)
-True to size (wear size 9 shoe these boots fit perfect)
-Excellent traction on snow / ice
-Super responsive given the flex
-Great shock absorption for landings on medium size jumps (park only has 20-35 foot jumps)

Cons:

-Laces show some sign of wear (not a big deal easily replaceable)

I can't recommend these boots enough!

Hello dear service team,
almost a year ago I received the Rift snowboard boot from the Pryde Group, for whom I worked for many years as a team rider and national team manager for Nidecker (1998-2004, the German distributor at the time was Mako-Sport).
So unfortunately I can't complain about the boot in the shop as described in your process. After consultation with BOA, the defective part is unfortunately integrated into the shoe in such a way that it cannot be easily replaced.
Do you have any suggestions as to how I can repair the shoe, which is otherwise still in perfect condition?
I know from the passed Nidecker has always a constructive solutions, Like with my supermatic, thanks a lot. That why I give you for five Stars
Can you please pass the message on to the appropriate people?

Kind regards
Hannes

Great boot fit well and comfortable. Break in first before using it new in the mountain which i did last season in a rush. It was a bit tight at first but it fits very well after.

Very well constructed boot. You can tell that a ton of thought went into the design and the materials and workmanship were very good. Unfortunately it seemed to be a half size too big. I work fitting boots, my foot tops out at about 27. 2 cm and a true 9 at 27cm I can always feel my toe touching the end. These had about half a cm of room which was allowing just a bit too much room so I had to ship them back. Unfortunately they don't offer exchanges so I had to pay to ship them back and wasn't able to try the 8. 5.

I rode two days on these things so far and i am really impressed. Super comfortable boots and they are perfect for my style of riding. If you are a side hit seeker, park enthusiast or just looking for a great boot, put these on your feet. I do recommend downsizing on these as well, they are easy to break in :+1:

This boot is so comfy from the first ride and stays like that. It has enough flex to be playful but also to shred fast and still feel very composed. I love the performance of this boot that can be used for almost everything. It`s lite and gives you full control of your board. The look is great but it also works very well. Stays completely dry and the climate is very pleasant. Never had a such matching boot for my feet before. By the way I use them with a Supermatic binding, works perfectly. Fully recommend this product.

These boots are really great I have tried a few different companies and always had a problem with my foot type going into the high arch category and always had pain on top of the food because of the pressure from the middle of the boot. I tried this boot in a shop and it just fit instead also the size is in the norm my food is something around 27. 4 cm and the size 10 works perfect with daily use no problems with pressure points in the middle food area like the shoes I had before. Just writing this review for people out there who have the same food type and want to enjoy rides and have a comfortable boot for a daily use without pain.
I recommend these boots. Thank you Nidecker for the effort and energy put into this new series!

I had the same pairs for 4 years and they were holding good but was hesitating to change.
Well I decided to change it to theses beauty and it's the best decision I took !
They fit perfectly, they're stylish, I love them.

My favorite Nidecker Boot next to the Kita. Smooth fit that doesnt hurt after a long day on the slopes with good performance on an a fun day in the park or while a chilled cruise in the resort!

Love the fit and how stiff these are. Most comfortable boot I've had in ten years!

I spend a considerable amount of time in boots during the season. As a certified split board and back country guide I need equipment that works as I don't have the luxury to call it quits on the mountain if I'm unhappy. I fluctuate from size 11.5 to 12. I ordered these in an 11.5 and they fit perfect. I heat molded the liner and they are extremely comfortable. Overall it's a solid boot, very comfortable so much so that they just melt away and become part of you. If you don't have to think about your boot while you're out, it's a great sign. They're also holding up to heavy abuse. 10/10 would recommend.

For this to become an even more great product, try using a stronger outsole material - My bindings have been cutting into the white areas near the heels, into the soft foam.

Extremely comfortable barely any break in time for myself, went true to size on these fits perfect. Perfect amount of stiffness any all mountain riding just in general a great all around boot.
