Hi guys,

I have a question about the stiffness of boots. At the moment I have the Nitro Sentinel boots, which according to the homepage relatively "soft" (Sentinel TLS | Nitro Snowboards)
However, since I have a new Nitro Team board and the Nitro Team binding, I was wondering if it would also make sense to buy the nitro team boots. The thought is that the boots are possibly better matched to the board and the binding.
In the Team TLS boots freedom is specified with "2" (Team TLS | Nitro Snowboards) what exactly can I actually imagine under it? What is the difference to comfort?
And finally the question would be if I have in the one boots size 28, whether the other boots would also fit in 28.

Hello, currently I am using the nitro capital boots but before this I had the Sentinel classic lacing and the Team TLS.
First of all I have owned and tried almost every brand out there and for my foot I have found that the nitro boots are more comfortable and true to size than any other boot so I only buy nitro boots. Between the Team TLS and the Sentinel overall I would choose the Team as a better all around. Not too stiff not too soft. The only disappointment was that I had the old TLS system which was becoming lose. I had a trick which solved the issue until they upgraded in all of of their boots and now is perfect.
After 2 full seasons beating the hell out of them they became softer for my liking and that’s why I ended up buying the capital which are super stiff!
Now for the size, if your foot is 28cm buy this size and half a size smaller. Try both and keep the one that fits your foot.
My size is 29 and I fit in all of them in 29 (11US)
Now the rate 2 for the freedom I believe it is how much it locks in around your foot. But I wouldn’t take this into account because every foot is different.
By the way I also ride the nitro team camber board and team bindings. Every nitro boot fits perfectly fine in a nitro binding.
I think you should try the Nitro Team TLS. Their ILS and the TLS lacing system works great and holds everything in place.

 

Do both of the boots you have tried fit the same, width wise?

hi there!

I currently use Nitro Venture Pro TLS. They´re rated stiffness 8 just as the Team. But in my opinion that´s not entirely true as the Team feels way stiffer than rating 8.
The Team is more like a Stiffness 9 boot, quite comparable to Nitro Select boot. It would be quite a jump to go from the Sentinel to the Team. Probably better something maybe a little bit softer than a team and see how it goes!

I have the Team TLS. Comfy, warm and stiff. I don't like that lacing system though. The laces always seem pop out and get loose. Other than the lacing system, I do like the boots.

 

I agree about the TLS. It sucks. I am looking at other brands now because of it, but I am also considering Nitros new stiff double boa boot. Don't remember the name but it looks promising.

Riding Select boots now btw. Best fit I have ever found.

 

i've had multiple pairs of nitro select boots ... everything was amazing apart from the tls lacing system and the laces/lace loops (when new it was fine, but the older they got and the more they were used the worse it got). if you get any of the nitro boots please get the ones with laces
