Fattwins 0 Posted July 14, 2004 Share Posted July 14, 2004 Yeah window shopping is fun. I went indoor skiing the other day with dane and we worked on our 360 and 540 box slides. Nice 6 meter box. wish they had the 6 meter rail up though. Back On topic what are you gonna buy if you see it? Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 When I was in Tokyo last month I saw lots of 04/05 gear. Well just skis I guess. Never really get exited looking at boots even when I'm in thr market. And that 04/05 gear is Sooooo expensive. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 That gear is pricy. boots Im in the market next year I think. I need a nice wide boot. I would love a flexon but I cant fit into them. I like the 1998 model really eay fit. Link to post Share on other sites
sae_chan 0 Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 I am looking at them also. I hope my shop manager friend can give me some kind deal. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 Sae-chan - What kind of deals can you get? Yes those Flexons look like a stand up boot. There is something to be said for a design that hasn't changed in years. Must be pretty solid. I have always wanted to try a pair on. They are very low profile as well. The shell just looks smaller and less clumky than most other boots. Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted July 15, 2004 Share Posted July 15, 2004 the straps do break. I went through so many buckles on my old ones. buy extra straps and bukkles with the boots. The flex pattern takes some time to get used to but it really is cool you can really feel the boot when it is flexing. Its soft but soft in a good way. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Fattwins, This conversation sound familar eh? Flexons are some that Ive looked at in addition to Salomons 1080s. Thats suppose to be another "soft" boot too. Anybody have em or a friend who did? Im gonna be like a little kid in a candy store next time I go shopping Kansai folks, where are some good stores? Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Flexons are pretty much the same as Raichles arn't they? Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 yes the brand name changed but the flexon kept its name. knissel is the exact same company. Yuki do you want cheap or do you want a good fit. With boots I figure 3 to 5 years give or take. I go with the guy who fits you right and gives you service after to make your boot feel perfect. So I dont buy at discount stores. Discount stores are great for skis but not for boots if you have a wide or strange shaped foot. I know a great boot place here yuki pricy but the guy knows his stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
