Nidecker Rift Lace Snowboard Boots

The Rift Lace is for the purists – a classic lace-up boot with a softer flex that's perfect for getting creative in the park and beyond. Nidecker's innovative Speed Hook lets you lock in the tension of your lower laces, then adjust the upper part independently. The lightweight design blends old school sneaker looks with cutting-edge tech, including a seamless toe box that perfectly matches the brands bindings, a heat-moldable liner and OC-Kush gel dampening for insane comfort right out the box.

Specifications

  • Flex: 2/4
  • Terrain: park 4/4, resort 3/4, powder 2/4
  • Classic lacing - Traditional laces bring sneaker looks to your boot and enable precise tightening eyelet by eyelet. Speed Hook clasps lock in tension on the lower section.
  • 3D Liner Support - Awesome foot hold that starts right inside the liner, with 3D molded material and J-bars around the ankle. Minimal movement, maximum control.
  • Ascent outsole - Combining an EVA midsole and a full rubber outsole, the Ascent hits the sweet spot between cushioning, weight and grip. An extra OC-Kush insert helps to soften heavy landings and dampen the ride, while its wavelike tread pattern is inspired by geckos for lizard-like traction.
  • Silver Heat Moldable Liner – Heat molding allows you to customize the fit of our versatile Silver liner, which also features a Custom Flex Zone around the toes for extra wriggle room, 8mm of PE foam and additional PU support. The liner is closed via a separate cuff connected to the inside of the shell, making it a breeze to get on and off. Velcro patches on both sides of the tongue help secure the fit.
  • Shell Harness Closure - Pull the inner laces to tighten a shell-mounted harness. Velcro secures the tongue.
  • 3D Dual-Density Insole - Anatomically designed to cradle your foot and constructed from two densities of EVA, with firmer material supporting the heel cup and arch. A fleece-lined footbed with silicone top-print keeps you warm and secure.
  • 3D Molded Tongue – asymmetric 3D Molded Tongue is curved more sharply towards the medial side to match the natural ridgeline of your forefoot. This alleviates pressure points and provides a more balanced feeling of comfort and support versus a standard straight tongue.
  • 3D Molded Toebox – 3D Toebox eliminates extra layers and seams around the forefoot, improving water resistance and durablility. The streamlined design also makes it easier to slide your boot in and out of the binding.
  • Asym 3F – A unique asymmetric boot design co-developed with BOA® that generates optimal support and flex. The asym tongue features lace guides positioned on the flatter forefoot areas for more even closure and less point-loaded pressure. Increased medial arch support reduces foot fatigue and cramps.
  • Articulating Cuff – The upper shell overlaps the lower part and moves independently. This creates a super smooth riding feel and eliminates any pressure points when the boot is flexed.
  • 1:1Lasting – 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, thermoformable inner liner. Boots with an 8° tilt offer the perfect balance between comfort and performance.
  • Rubber Backstay/Transition Zone – A durable section at the back of the boot that protects it from wear. Our unique Transition Zone means the rubber is bonded smoothly to the outsole with no ridges, eliminating any snags when you enter or exit your bindings.
  • 1% For The Planet - Nidecker sends 1% of sales directly to non-profit organizations fighting climate change.

How to choose snowboard boots

Choosing new snowboard boots? It doesn't have to be a big unknown. There are several parameters that are crucial to choosing the right boots. The main ones are size and overall flex.

Check out our video tutorial

In addition to the article, check out the video tutorial in which our advisor Dominik tells you what you should consider when choosing snowboard boots »

Boot size

The size chart, which you can find in the detailed description of all snowboard boots, will help you choose the right size. If you don't know the size of your foot according to the chart (UK, US, EUR), you can easily measure it at home. Take a ruler or a meter and measure your entire foot from the heel to the end of the longest finger. The MONDO sizing in the table is given in centimeters. The boot should then be half a centimeter larger than your foot.

Keep in mind that it is important that you try the snowboard boots in socks in which you will later ride. Tighten the inner shoe as much as possible and fasten the boot as firmly as if you were going straight down the slope. The shoe should hug the leg perfectly after the tightening. Even before you go on your first snowboarding trip, it's good to put the boots on at home and walk in them for a while. Once you spend about half an hour in them, you should immediately see if the boots fit well and don't squeeze your feet. Your foot must not move in the boot and neither should your heel lift. It is also good to know that it is necessary to spend more time choosing women's boots compared to men's boots. Women's feet have different shapes, so they need enough time and space to choose the appropriate snowboard boots. And the last, but a very important detail: watch out for the difference between the right and the left foot. Always therefore try both boots.

Even if you choose the right size, your boot may not fit perfectly. It may be too wide, low in the instep area, or it will squeeze your ankle - there are many reasons why not each pair in the world will fit you and it is hard to estimate them all in advance. Therefore, we try to do our best to make your purchase as trouble-free as possible. If you buy snowboard boots from our store that don't fit you, you have the opportunity to replace them, or we will provide you with the full refund. Just send the boots back with a proof of the purchase. If you happen to find yourself in this situation, you can find more information in the Returns section.

Flex (stiffness) of the boot

The stiffness of the snowboard boot is related to the specific riding style on the slope. Freestyle boots are softer, which allows for greater freedom at bends over the tongue of the boot. For freeride, that is, fast and aggressive riding, stiffer boots are better, giving you more support through the tongue and the ankle area.

Classic laces, Boa, or Fast Lace system?

Manufacturers of snowboard boots offer along with classic laces also various fast lacing systems. Thanks to them, it is possible to tighten the boot much faster and with less effort. That way you can spend more time riding. The first of them is fast lacing system (Fast Lace or ATOP). Some systems - such as the Boa system of Nidecker and Burton - even allow the tightening of the instep and shin area separately. Fast lacing systems are reliable and proven, but as it goes with the quality gear, the boots with such systems are also more costly.

Boot liners

For the ultimate in comfort on the hill, don't forget about the boot liners. They have cushioning properties, but are also anatomically shaped, breathable and support the foot arch. In short, it's all about the details. At the moment, you can get snowboard boot liners in all sizes, so whether you have small or big feet, you will definitely find the right ones!
