Raichle Ski Boots

[wickedofoz]

I have used this brand for quite a long time & they fit my foot exceptionally well & so comfy...anyway the pair I have are cactus & wanted to know if I can't get hold of Raichle's is there another brand that allows for a similar fit.
Any suggestions.......Paul O? Thx

Full tilt has the original raichle moulds now...

i know you can get them at bumps in elsternwick now... they are distributed by the same guys who have K2 so theoretically... k2 dealers should be able to get them if they dont already...

Actually.....to expand on the problem with my existing boots is that the left boot shell juts down bringing pressure to my left big toe causing bruising to the toe anil to the point it was black/purple for 2 months after (not to mention the discomfort while skiing). Anyway that's the situation......all good

Isn't the Dalbello Krypton the successor to the Flexon?

[Silence]

I believe full tilt (k2) bought the actual moulds when Raichle failed to keep it going with Dachstein in Austria and the Full Tilt boots are virtually the same old tried and true Flexon comp. I think the kryptons ( Dalbello) were designed by Plake with the Flexon comp tongue specifics because Dalbello still owns the rights to the design.

So basically my take on the whole thing is that Full Tilt have the original flexon moulds, and Dalbello have the rights to design based on Raichle..

Bottom line, you compare a pair of flexons and a pair of full tilts and they will be almost identical, the kryptons are very close, identical tongue etc but with a different buckle system

I do have some old stock of original Raichle in the shop, it would be cheap now. I don't have the RX6 anymore but do have the Flexon comp, and the newer F1.
