These boots were highly rated on "Best of Boots" for 2023 and I was excited to try them. I wear a size 6 but usually order a 6.5 in boots to accommodate thicker socks. The insert has Velcro and thick sides. Unfortunately the way that it fastens and tightens puts the front edge of the insert against the side of your legs and digs in. I tried going a little looser than I usually like and still had the problem with the insert digging in. I was just walking around my house trying to break them in. I ended up with bruises on both sides of my legs toward the top of the insert because of the way that it overlaps, even when worn looser than I would ride in. I can't imagine taking these on the mountain with what it did just walking around the house. The other thing I didn't ... MoreThese boots were highly rated on "Best of Boots" for 2023 and I was excited to try them.

The other thing I didn't like was the ankle is so narrow that it is hard to get your foot in, even with the boas loosened all the way.

Looks good and feel comfortable but not at all secure about the quality

I bought these boots for a couple of reasons. First, I lived in Germany and love German/Swiss culture and wanted to buy boots from that region. Second, they are so so pretty! I have only one criticism and it’s so frustrating. I bought the black and pink ones. I tried putting them on for the first time this weekend and the loop on the back pulled halfway out of the stitches on the back of them on the left boot. It’s so frustrating and so sad honestly. It was an easy fix. I think the loop should be like triple stitched to insure that the loops can be utilized for the purpose they are there. To pull on the boots. They fit, but it tore when trying to pull on the boot. If they were to like reinforce the stitching in that area, the boots would be perfect. But I love them ... MoreI bought these boots for a couple of reasons. First, I lived in Germany and love German/Swiss culture and wanted to buy boots from that region. Second, they are so so pretty!

But be careful with the loop on the back. :)

Solid Boot, comfy, warm. Would recommend. Run slightly small refer to Euro sizing for best reference.
She is very happy with the fit, feel and flex. They came in on the small side we are going to let them pack out and see how it goes.
These boots are cheaply made, at a hefty steep price. I have worn mine (as an intermediate rider) a total of four times and the foam soul is already wasting away?! I also have to tighten my laces on almost every run and they loosen up on the ride down. VERY ANNOYING. I have literally rented boots that are better than these! I’m so mad I spent so much money on these boots to match my step in bindings and I’m already having issues. Legit these are the worst boots I’ve ever tried and I can’t believe what I spent on them!! After yesterday’s ride I had a bit of an internal tantrum because I just want my money back on these boots. I do not recommend them. I also used the size guide on the Nidecker website and they feel tight, even after measuring my foot! Like my ankles ... MoreThese boots are cheaply made, at a hefty steep price.

I do not recommend them. I also used the size guide on the Nidecker website and they feel tight, even after measuring my foot! Like my ankles are KILLING me at the end of the day. An issue I’ve not dealt with other boots. I hope to get a full refund for them.
I bought these on sale at the end of the season so I haven't had a chance to test them out in the wild yet, but initial impressions are good. The boot fits as expected for my size and the double BOA gives great adjustability. I've got larger calves and smaller ankles, so I can finally get a tight fit without cutting circulation off. The boot itself is lightweight and feels like quality construction.
Ordered these boots and I was super excited. They look good and seem like good quality but they definitely fit on the smaller side. I usually wear size 38.5/39 shoes and got these in size 39.5 which is pretty tight! Seems too tight even considering them loosening up. Perhaps I need the men’s boots for my foot shape or try a size up? I will see what I’ll do about it.. just fyi so try ordering a size up.Hope I get this all sorted before the season starts!
Granted, I had the same pair of Burton lace up boots for the last 15 years, they were the only pair I ever rode in. So any upgrade would be a good one. That is not to discredit the Altai boots, they are incredibly comfortable, snug for narrow feet, and supportive for all day all mountain riding. Love love love them!
I like that the fit is snug but comfy. I like that the front to the boot slides easily into my Flow bindings
