The Rift W is a softer women's 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.

LACING

• Dual-Dial BOA®: The dual-dial BOA lets you tighten your boots quickly and easily via two dials. The upper and lower foot can be adjusted independently for a custom fit, and to prioritize maximum power transfer or looser, surfier turns.
• 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.

UPPER

• 3D Molded Tongue: Nidecker's 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 Toe Box: The 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.
• Rubber Backstay: A durable section at the back of the boot that protects it from wear. Nidecker's 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.
• 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.

INSERT

• Silver Level: Heat molding allows you to customize the fit of Nidecker's 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.
• 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.
• Shell Harness: Pull the inner laces to tighten a shell-mounted harness. Velcro secures the tongue.

SOLE

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
