I tried on a pair of Nidecker Rift boots today and they felt really nice, I'm not sure if my local will get the APX version in but I'd like to try a pair on. I'm a bit worried about them being too soft and blowing out like the ones @Kevington had last season.

Probably the most instantly comfy boot I've ever tried on. Definitely would spring for the APX version.

For some weird reason yes. He’s still riding his signature DC Boots though. I think he went deep on them before they separated and is just running through his pile. Every shot of him at Naty Selct last season he was still wearing them.

I got to try on the Vans Verse and the High Country and Hellbound today, they are definitely both staying on my list. The 8.5s felt maybe a little snug on my big toe but the uppers felt great and the heels felt decently snug, kinda opposite of my size 9 TM2s that feel great from the ankle down but hard to get snugged in the upper portion. The 9s were really comfy but I'm sure would pack out to too big.

How much do the V3 Vans liners pack out?

When I handed the boxes back with the boots in them the person was "damn these ones are heavy" about the verses.
