The Nidecker Talon Boa Focus Snowboard Boot is the perfect choice for the hard-charging freerider or backcountry enthusiast. With an incredibly light yet seriously stiff flex, this boot provides the responsive feel necessary to conquer any terrain. The Boa Focus Closure System ensures a tight and secure fit over the upper and lower zones, while the Gold-Level heat-moldable liner offers a custom-fitting shape with J-bars for superior heel hold.

The self-molding footbed conforms to your feet, providing all-day comfort, while the N-Gel Dampening absorbs impact from hard landings. For optimal board feel, the B.F.T.

Burton Flight Attendant + Genesis X EST The boots are comfortable, stiff out of the box, and true to size. I'm a 28.5 in mondo sizing, which corresponds to a 10.5 in these for a snug fit (street shoe 11). I swapped the insoles for Superfeet RedHot's, and added a little foam to my back boot to take up some extra volume in the heel. The liner lacing system is great, and the boa dials are easy to adjust, although I find I have to tinker with them more often than laces throughout the day. Unfortunately, these were noticeable softer by day 5, especially in the rear to the point where I can basically flex the boot over in a toeside carve. It's fine on groomers and pow, but doesn't work in the chop. Repetitive toeside hits in choppy conditions end up flexing the boot over, and I can't maintain the speed or control I want. It's only taken a week for these boots to feel like my old K2 T1's which have 50+ days of riding on them. I took a ski lesson on my last day at Snowbird, and after a decade of riding, I'm ready to switch.

I work lift operations at a major ski resort in Maine. This has been my choice of boot for the last five seasons, and this will be my third pair. They have been fantastic in all weather conditions. Warm at -40 with 100+ mph winds, dry in pouring rain or bumping chairs in a spring slush puddle, and incredible grip on all but the slickest ice. The two boa system is great. I keep the lower section snug all day, but loosen the upper for working, hiking or skinning. The wide toe box is great; sneaker-like comfort. Snugged up, they offer a stiff and responsive ride, whether carving trenches in the corduroy, or slashing thigh-deep pow in the trees. Highest recommendation.
