Shell & Outsole

So, those tricks we mentioned earlier, that set the Tritons aside from other boots… The main one is the shape. Nidecker have made a lot of noise about their FlowFit lasts, which are made for a glove-like match with any binding. It results in a wedge-like look when viewed from the side and it really works – though as the name implies, you’ll really notice the difference if you run rear-entry bindings.

Together with a 3D molded tongue and an articulated zone near the ankle, the Tritons offer a middle-of-the-range kinda flex that will suit a wide range of riding styles and abilities.

There are two Boa dials to control the upper and lower part of the boot. At this price, most Boa boots only offer one dial, so the Tritons definitely earn some brownie points here. The laces are also textile rather than steel cables, so the overall feeling is that you’re getting a premium boot for less money.

The outsole is B.F.T. Nope, there’s no bacon involved (or big-eared giants, for that matter) – it stands for Bare Foot Technology. That’s a fancy way of saying that it’s anatomically designed so it feels like you’re walking around in sneakers, especially if you plump for the gum sole version (and we suggest you do, it’s sick).
