The Altai is the centrepiece of the new Nidecker 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 BOA lacing 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, there’s a new heat-moldable Silver liner, allowing you to customize the fit if you need to but which is comfortable straight out the box. The Altai is a mid-stiff model with plenty of lateral support, making it great for digging trenches in the piste or floating through forests with pinpoint accuracy. If you love the art of the turn, you’ll love this boot.

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.

Very light and comfortable boots, love the dual boa.
Thanks for the great feedback, Anna!
Glad to hear the Altai Women boots are hitting the mark for you. The dual BOA system and lightweight feel are definitely designed to keep things comfortable and responsive on the mountain.

Excellent boot. Firm, but responsive and comfortable. The dual BOA is excellent. Fit my EE feet in my size, which is nice. Ride all day with these.

Wore the boots twice, for 2 hrs., around the house before going out on the hill.
First day snowboarded for 8hrs.
Boots where very comfortable and warm (temp. outside was -8C).
At age 57 these boots where just the right stiffness for me.
I am an aggressive carving snowboarder and a Ski Patroller.
Boots where used with the Nidecker Supermatic.
Definitely recommend.

It fits perfectly and very comfortably

It was a risk to order boots without trying them on. But I tried them at home, and they felt good. Of course, everything will be clear on the slope, but so far I like them.

Will seehow long it lasts. So far all good.

Bought for my daughter..
Looked nice and seemed like decent quality
C
Love these boots! I am still relatively beginner at snowboarding but have been looking for stiffer boots that can hold my heel down. WOW what a difference these make from softer boots!!! My turns are much easier and these boots are much more responsive! I could not recommend enough, even if youre still learning
Hey GM,
That is awesome to hear that you are loving the new boots and noticing a big difference in performance! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback and for the recommendation.

Great boot for the price. I used to ride the burton Imperial, this boot feels almost identical plus you get boa for a price that is significantly less than what burton charges. I would say it runs middle of the road on width. Mid stiff flex is accurate. Enough support for the big jump line but enough flex to play.
K
Very good
B
As a beginner who has a 4 hour drive to the closest resort, I was looking for something quality but affordable. This boot was comfortable and durable enough to take my beginner�s falls all day. These work fine with the Supermatic step-in bindings.
G
Well constructed, seem durable and after a few days of riding they broke in well. I like the stiffness, very responsive with edge control. Happy with this purchase.
C
Really nice fit and quality i would like them more tight to support my feet better (feel a bit loose even though I tight them hard
A
Comfy. Good response. Works great with my supermatics
A
Solid boots, I've ridden a half-dozen different days in them and am so far pretty pleased. The dual-BOA is nice for dialing in your fit (pun intended). They are a nice amount of stiffness to be responsive but still comfortable for long wear. Only critique is that they seem to run a little small, as I ordered my regular shoe size and my toes are pretty cramped. I think if I were a half size up, they'd be perfect.
C
Super responsive, very comfortable right out of the box. Highly recommend!
E
I'm a snowboard instructor and these boots have been great for all riding styles. They fit my feet nicely, the double boa is accommodating for a high high-top of my foot and I can imagine they would be a good fit for most people.

Boots for one season!
1) very soft, do not match the declared hardness (is not 7/10) maximum stiffness= 5/10!!!
2) very weak materials, threads, seams (The threads were torn, the seams came apart, the leather was frayed. see attached photos)
3) Boots increased in size after 3 months of use once or twice a week (in small mountains 120 meters high)
?o summarize: not reliable, poor quality. The quality does not match the sports equipment. Mountains are places of increased danger and equipment must be of proper quality!!! A person�s life can depend on the quality of equipment!
G
Great boots. I have a wider foot. Straight out of the box these boots are comfortable. They match up perfectly with my supermatic bindings
P
I was a little reluctant ordering online and not trying on, but these are very comfortable and very supportive boots. I needed a boot that worked with the Supermatic bindings, as they tore my other boots apart. These are great so far, but I haven�t really put them to the test. All good so far!
J
Comfort, perfect fit, responsive and great design!
C
Great binding. Should highly recommend them to any ski patrol or instructor
M
Got mine today, and as already written, fits out of the box and super comfy, feels like walking on clouds. Next step is in the snow on coming weekend, and then supermatic, when its available in XL, maybe in a cool grey color ? thanks nidecker:-)
