It took me a while to get used to the OG Supermatic, but once you do, there's no going back to traditional bindings. Love the built quality, seems like it can last for a long time. - Sincerely, a happy customer from sunny Singapore 🇸🇬
Bought and rode this boot for one day, great responsive boot like no other I have had before, outside materials built to last. But and this is a big But, I had to return them, the insole lining just wasn’t for me, after the first hour of the usual comfort fit you get with new boots, I managed to sort it, rode pain free the rest of the day, once I had the boot off at end of day realised I had nerve damage in my foot, looking at the lining it has a seem on top of the foot which then made my foot go numb for a week surprisingly, i had these boots heat moulded to,I feel they need to redesign the inner boot to a moccasin fit,with no over lapping seems, my old Photons inner seems but up to each other to prevent pressure points, such a shame I really liked these boots! I was lucky the retailer returned my money, so think twice if buying on line, try them on first! Just an honest review!
I stepped over from regular K2 strap bindings to these. Also because of the easy step in.
Quick and easy. Love the control on my board, pretty direct.
As an off piste boarder it also gives you a good feeling of control and reflex from your board on to my feet. Great.....
Happy, happy.... regards from Holland. Am turning 60 yo in April. Hope to use the Flow Fuse for many years to come.
Thnx.
I am 47 and was thinking I should learn skiing. Not now.
These are an absolute game changer, and my elite skier mates love them too. No more waiting for the snowboarder.
Hi
Could you inform me when this spare part will be available (FB-S003-A - LT Supermatic® Slip-N-Grip Footbed Set, size L) ?
thanks in advance

This version of the index is very stiff & firm. It's like a 140-150 flex race level plug ski boot. I had to pull significant slack in the forefoot lacing just to get my foot in the boot. Two sections of velcro on either side of the diamond liner tongue overlap on the outside offering a perfect spot for the tibia, then the side boa pulls the heel into place, then the front boa holds it all together, & then there's a powerstrap! The storm cover is a great feature for lace longevity as it protects all lower lacing from impact & abrasion. Two velcro tabs at the rear of the shell can be loosened for walking & hiking. These boots excel at transmitting your intentions to the board with zero heel lift & excellent directional support, while also providing enough comfort & warmth for all day riding.
Hey there,
thanks for sharing such a detailed review! We're glad the Index Men boots meet your high-performance needs and appreciate the features you highlighted.
Happy shredding!

Fit as expected - would have been nice to order individually but just glad I could fix my large investment bindings.
I need little bit stiffer boots than my previous flex 5 so I start looking for a new boots. I rented Nidecker boots when I snowboarding in Zao Onsen early this year in Japan and had great experience during whole time. It’s kind hard recall which model boots I rented but I watched couple YouTube review and all ppl said Altai is comfort. I know 9.5 kind fit me since this is the same size I had during rental. I expected It will be a little bit tight than my rental boots since it new but it just totally perfect in the first time I wear it. I will highly recommend this amazing comfort boot.
Ultra stiff. Ultra performance boot. True to soze but insanely difficult to get on at first. So much so that i almost pulled a muscle just getting into them. Once you are in though, these things are what you want for carving hard, or stiff off piste steeps. Great liners. Definitely heat mold them. If you think, “ill just break them in myself” you are not going to have a good time. Stiffest boot on the market with this high of comfort though and no heel lift with the unique heel boa feel. If heel lift is a worry for you, it wont be in these. Slightly bigger shell than the Kita/APX but worth it for the better boot imo. I pair with NX2 to minimize bootout and go double posi on a 288mm waist board. If you want to carve or bomb chutes and ride hard. This is your boot. If you want to ankle steer and do flatground butters etc, you probably want a softer boot.
Amazing support & service from Nidecker! I ordered these replacement parts to fix a lost ladder that somehow came off my board after my last run at my home resort, but super stoked my board is fixed and ready to go!
Hi Chris,
Thanks for the feedback!
Great to hear the replacement parts got you back on snow quickly. Losing gear mid-season is never ideal, so we’re glad everything’s dialed again and your setup is ready to ride.
Enjoy the next runs!

Superfun and quick turning snowboard! Pow or carving slushy resorts - you just surf on top of it. Carving on icy slopes is no problem either.
Bonjour.
Notre saison de snowboard est terminée.
Mais, j’ai confiance,à la,hiver prochain, que je vais apprécier mes FLOW NX2.
Bonjour, Merci pour votre avis et pour votre confiance ! Même si la saison est déjà terminée, on est vraiment ravis de savoir que vous avez hâte de rider avec vos Flow NX2 l'hiver prochain, on est sûr qu'ils ne vont pas vous décevoir ! On vous souhaite une belle intersaison et on compte sur vous pour nous partager vos impressions une fois sur les pistes. À très bientôt ! :)

Yep this buckle set is are more tighten than the ones that i received with my FASE. They lock in place on the toe strap. It prevents to accidentally tighten the straps. And it stays in place during all day. I dont need to reajust them after every run
The board is great
Hi Peter,

Within a few minutes I had the old broken piece out and the new one in place. Worked perfectly.
Hey Ian,
Nothing beats a quick and easy fix to get back on the snow. Glad that replacement mechanism worked perfectly for you! Enjoy the ride!

I havent put it to the test on the mountain yet but snapping in and hopping around my living room feels better than my old bindings. Ill be updating after April 18th
Videos say you cant realy step in while they are very tight. Half a day in the slope and it was already comfortable and quick to do!
Hey!
Glad you gave them a chance! The break-in period is real, but once they're dialled in there's no going back.
Enjoy the rest of the season!
See you on the snow,
Artur
