Nike Snowboarding Zoom Kaiju Snowboard Boot - Men's
? Share a...
Stiffer than ZF1s, low profile, nice.

After putting 120 days on my Nike ZF1s and getting the beginnings of peroneal tendonitis, I knew it was time to replace my boots. I went with the Kaijus because I knew they were stiffer, and I needed stiffer.
The ZF1s wore in great up until the end (I could basically fold them in half at the end). After the normal 5 or so days of break-in, the Kaijus had the same great comfort. They also seem to be slightly warmer, which was a major issue with the older ZF1s - my feet would freeze in anything lower than 25 F temps. The kaijus were toasty as low as 15 F - though I didn't get a chance to test them any colder.
I only have one concern, and that is that the kaijus seem to have a lot of space in the toe box. My toes just barely touch the end of the toebox, which is a perfect fit. However, they just seem too comfortable. I have about 20 days on them at this point, so we'll have to wait and see. After telling my friends about this, their only reaction was "it sounds like you have the perfect boot".
I have somewhat narrow feet, and I downsize 2 sizes (normally wear a 9.5 or 10 street shoe) and the Nike line is perfect for me (I tried Burton, Celsius and thirtytwos in the past). No heal lift. Traditional laces let me fit my boots just right.
As an interesting aside, I've had people say things such as "Nike isn't a snowboard company, buy Burton", to which I reply "Burton isn't a shoe company, buy Nike". As it turns out, Nike poached THE boot guy from Burton to start their snowboard boot line - so you're not working with crap technology. Honestly, I don't know if I'd ever buy anything Nike otherwise, but these boots are great.
All in all, 20 days in on these Kaijus and they are just the step up in stiffness I wanted coming from 120 days on ZF1s. I highly recommend them. They're supportive without feeling like you're wearing a box on your foot (that's how Celsius boots feel on my feet).
Love'em

Very happy with these boots, good support not too soft or stiff. Comfortable liner with inner lace system as a regular lace up just like the outside. Have ridden lots of boots through the years and very impressed with these. Previous Nike Boots had a very small toe box which was fixed and are now much more comfortable. True to size. Hope this helps anyone out there checking these out.

Inner Lace Lock broke 4th trip

Best boot I've owned but the Inner boot lace lock broke after the 4th trip out to tahoe. I wasn't even forcing it that much, I just like my boot tight. Nike doesnt have replacement piece of plastic for it... wondering if anyone has an extra or know where to get this part. I can put a picture up if that'll help. I can manually tie it but should not have to do that.
Boots this expensive should not break...

One of the nicest boots I have ever put on my feet. They are comfy and well insulated. Super light as well. I would recommend these boots to anyone who is trying to shred and pick up chicks at the same time. All killer, no filler!
Best boot I've used.

Awesome boot. Got a pair two years ago on a whim and my Burton Ions are collecting dust. The Nike Kajus has the perfect flex for me and great board feel. Thumbs up!
