The liner itself is fully heat mouldable, upping the comfort levels and personalising the fit. Even if the out of the box feel is good, you ain’t seen nothing yet. The foam expands when heated and then cools and contracts to take the shape of your foot, finetuning the fit for day in day out comfort. When you’re spending long hours hiking lines, or skinning up you’ll say a little prayer to the Nidecker gods for making this boot not only functional, but absolutely luxurious.

Externally you’ve got the rugged Vibram sole, not only great for gripping when you’re tackling icy terrain (or car parks) but also insanely durable. The toe box is made of a hearty rubber that’ll keep its shape and won’t bust stitches when you’re kicking steps or from constant use of a toe strap.

“Nidecker have thought of absolutely everything with the Falcon. Seriously, we mean everything”

Nidecker have opted for a dual BOA system to tighten the shell, giving you the option to customise your fit and dial in your preference right down to the millimetre. Its quick, it’s easy and it’s secure. What more could you want?

Nidecker have thought of absolutely everything with the Falcon. Seriously, we mean everything. A pre-set 8 degrees of forward lean forces your knees into a bent position, mimicking a riding stance and driving more power through your turns. Triple density insole supports the foot and reduces fatigue, with Space Blanket Insulation keeping your tootsies nice and toasty. If that wasn’t enough you’ve also got cushioning foam under the ball of your foot and in the heel to soak up chatter and dampen your ride.

The Falcon really hits it out of the park, it’ll tick boxes you didn’t even know you had. Boots really are the most subjective and important bit of kit you’ll own, so do yourself a favour and check out these badboys.
