Snowboard Boots Nidecker Index  black

Nidecker Index Snowboard Boots

The Index is Nidecker's flagship freeride boot, built for limitless backcountry adventures. It features the very latest Nidecker technology and dials up the stiffness for pure big mountain performance, whether you’re hiking lines off the lift or splitboarding into untouched terrain. We’ve constructed it around an asymmetrical upper that conforms perfectly to your foot and calf, with flex zones for unrivalled control without sacrificing comfort.

A water resistant Storm Cover provides extra shelter for your feet and keeps your laces from icing up in deep snow. The lace system itself is BOA’s top-of-the-line H4 Coiler, with a brand new Internal Heel Lock system operated via the side dial and a separate control on the tongue to tighten the shell.

Expect unreal comfort and foot hold. To maximise grip in frozen terrain, we’ve added a premium B.F.T Vibram Approach outsole featuring an Icetrek rubber compound, while dual EVA layers in the midsole reduce vibrations on bumpy terrain and help soften big landings. The outsole blends into the Exo Spine via seamless Transition Zone design, eliminating the chance of snagging the back of your boot on the binding and boosting heelside response.

The solid feel continues up front with a tough TPU shield we call ArmourTech, which protects your toes while you’re kicking steps up that ridgeline. Inside, a Gold Level Wrap Liner provides unparalleled comfort and support, and can be heat moulded for a custom fit. Make no mistake, this thing is the absolute pinnacle of boot technology. From Japanese tree lines to that dream Alaska trip, the Index is expedition-ready.

Specifications

• Flex: 4/4
• Terrain: powder 4/4, slope 3/4, park 1/4
• Hybrid Strap + BOA® – The BOA® Dial, located on the tongue, pulls together the upper and lower part of the boot. Then the BOA® dial on the side activates a double lace that runs through an internal harness connected to the shell and tongue. When tightened, it creates a locking sensation and provides 3D heel lockdown. On both sides, lateral locking is done via the ankle strap and frontal locking is done via the laces that run through the tongue and tighten the tongue towards the instep.
• Internal Heel-lock – Say goodbye to heel lift. An internal harness attached to the shell and tongue is tightened via the external BOA® side-dial. Laces enter from both sides and travel through the tongue section, firmly enclosing the ankle while pulling it back into the boot for incredible, three dimensional foot hold.
• Vibram® Approach sole - a premium ICE-TREK compound sole that excels in grip on icy surfaces and has improved heel and toe traction. EVA midsole for maximum comfort.
• OC Kush – Shock-absorbing dynamic gel pads are inserted into the outsole around the heel area. This extra cushioning helps you soak up heavy landings and reduces fatigue from bumpy snow. It also makes your boots super comfy to walk around in.
• Diamond Level Liner - A premium lightweight inner liner that has a special tongue placed on the outside for consistent front flex. The liner is heat-moldable and has waterproof 3M Thinsulate insulation, EVA sole and memory foam for maximum comfort in demanding mountain conditions.
• Velcro Closure – quick and intuitive fastening of the inner liner with Velcro.
• 3D Triple-Density Insole – Most advanced 3D insole is designed to perfectly cradle your foot. It's constructed from three densities of EVA, with firmer material supporting the heel cup and arch and a special high-rebound layer at the heel. A fleece-lined footbed with silicone top-print keeps you warm and secure.
• Custom Calf - the so-called the wings on the back of the outer structure can be adapted to a larger calf with Velcro.
• 3D Molded Tongue – 3D molded tongue provides an anatomical fit around the shin and reduces pressure points for greater comfort and tuned support.
• 3D Molded Toebox – the toe is made from one piece to eliminate seams, reduce size and extra durability. It also makes it easier to slide in and out of the binding.
• Asym 3F – asymmetrical boot shape and fastening for optimal support and flexibility. The anatomical shape provides great performance and feel. Designed in collaboration with the BOA system for ultimate comfort and performance.
• ArmorTech - TPU strap that wraps around the front of the boot, protects the material from abrasion and protects the toes against toe impacts.
• Exo-Spine Technology – a durable back panel that forms a seamless connection with the sole, guarantees instant energy transfer from heel to toe, extra stiffness, support and increased durability.
• Space Blanket – thermal insulation between the sole and the bottom of the inner liner to keep the cold outside and the heat inside.
• 1:1 Lasting – Nidecker designed unique shapes for men's, women's and children's boots. Each size has a maximally adapted construction, and in addition, the boots have an anatomical, heat-moldable inner liner. Boots with an 8° tilt offer the perfect balance between comfort and performance.
• Storm Cover - A water-resistant PU/mesh cover with zipper. The Storm Cover keeps feet dry for long days in deep snow conditions and features a 3D engineered knit to perfectly match the shape of the boot. Stretchable material at the top eases closure.
• 1% For The Planet - Nidecker sends 1% of sales directly to non-profit organizations fighting climate change.
