Higuma 0 Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Sorry Sam.. I dunno what your getting at either... I know what inners are but??? Ski boots have an inner "last" which is the soft / hard inner boot between your foot and the outer "shell" In ski boots these are the only two components "last and shell" I am not sure what you're getting at with Board boots.. don't they all have liners that can be removed??

Ocean11 0 Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 As far as I know, most snowboard boots have an inner bootie that you can take out to dry. You can't ride without them. I seem to remember hearing that Flow boots don't have inners though, hence their thin (odd) profile. Maybe that's what's confusing you... Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Very cheap board boots don't have inners. At least my old pair don't. 5,000 from himalaya, just to get me off the pulaver of renting boots. If you switch from v cheap to decent, your bindings may no longer fit, or at least need serious readjustment. Link to post Share on other sites
Antonio 0 Posted November 14, 2002 Share Posted November 14, 2002 Would be a cold, bruising day on the slopes for a skier with no inners....painful to even contemplate. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Yes, thats what Sam is referring to Ocean. No that many boots have inners. From the Flow range only a couple of models have them. I disagree with NoFakie, just because a boot doesn't have an inner doesn't mean that they are "cheap". Link to post Share on other sites
miteyak 0 Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 Some expensive boots dont have removable inners, but there's def. two components to the boot, so one may as well consider them to have 'em. Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 I didn't realize that my boots had inners that were removable for a long time. Then I saw other people walking about in just the inners. So I pulled really hard and they came out, but they were stuck in there with mighty big strips of velcro. Link to post Share on other sites
nulla 0 Posted November 15, 2002 Share Posted November 15, 2002 I would never ever ever even consider riding with a boot (snowboard) which did not have a stiff supportive inner. Link to post Share on other sites

NoFakie 45 Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 S_F I've never seen Flow boots, so I can't comment on them. In fact, until this season I had hardly seen Flow bindings in the shops, though that might just have something to do with the shops I go to. However, all the boots I have seen by other established snowboard manufacturers have had inners, even if just something that looks from the top like a coiled bit of hard foam with no laces or drawstring. The only single layer boots I've seen are discount lines in large discount shops. Like the ones I have myself, they are invariably super soft, which doesn't help you get any power into your edges. Flow bindings are obviously different, so the construction of suitable boots may differ from boots that are used with ordinary strap bindings. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard_freak 0 Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Yeah i think Flow boots go into another category. The Flow boots that I have are stiff enough. A fair few mates also use Flow boots. One of them had problems with them, not sure what though. She is blood.y picky though!!! Link to post Share on other sites
