Nidecker W's Rift Boot Black

W's Rift

Feel Meets Tech

Product Overview +

The Rift is a softer boot made for park laps, soul turns and creative all-mountain shralping.

Its lightweight design blends sneaker-like looks with top drawer materials, including an articulated two-part shell that won't deform when you tweak hard or apply more pressure on one side. Dual-Dial BOA® laces give you complete control over the fit, while OC-Kush gel dampening and a Silver heat-moldable liner ensure total comfort from day one.

Features + Closure System: Dual BOA®

Dual BOA® technology provides quick, precise lace adjustments via two independent dials. Each controls a distinct boot zone, delivering a custom fit in seconds.

BOA® Fit System: H4 Coiler

Ready for anything, designed to withstand. The bombproof BOA® H4 Coiler is built for the most demanding riders and resists impacts from park to pow. Its efficient mechanism rapidly takes up lace slack, increasing speed of entry.

Heel Lock: 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.

Outsole: Ascent

The Ascent combines an EVA midsole and rubber outsole for the optimal balance of cushioning, weight and grip. An OC-Kush insert absorbs impacts while its gecko-inspired tread pattern delivers lizard-like traction.

Liner: Silver

The Silver liner can be heat molded for a custom fit and features a Custom Flex Zone at the toes, 8mm PE foam, and added PU support. A separate cuff connected to the shell ensures easy entry, while Velcro patches on the tongue secure the fit.

Liner Closure: Shell Harness

Pull the inner laces to tighten a shell-mounted harness. Velcro secures the tongue.

Insole: 3D Dual Density

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.

BOA®

The industry standard in speed lacing systems. Micro-adjustable for a precise fit and engineered to perform in the toughest conditions.

3D Molded Toebox

Our 3D Toebox eliminates extra layers and seams around the forefoot, improving water resistance and durability. The streamlined design also makes it easier to slide your boot in and out of the binding.

3D Molded Tongue

Our asymmetric 3D Molded Tongue features a sharper curve on the medial side to match your natural forefoot shape. This design eliminates pressure points and delivers more balanced comfort and support than a traditional straight tongue.

Asym 3F

A unique asymmetrical design co-developed with BOA® for optimal support and flex. The tongue's lace guides are positioned over flatter forefoot areas for even closure and reduced pressure points. Enhanced medial arch support fights foot fatigue.

Articulating Cuff

An overlapping shell design allows independent upper movement, delivering super smooth flex without pressure points.

Moldable Liner

Made from advanced memory foam, our moldable liners adapt to your foot shape over time or can be heated in store for an instant, personalized fit. Experience zero pressure points and 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, as well as making your boots super comfy to walk around in.

Rubber Backstay

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.
