All Things Raichle

[Philpug]

Here is my FiL in his old prized 960's

 

[Don]

My first plastic boot was a Raichle Jet, an intermediate boot but quite an upgrade from the leather with bolted on JetStix! Then I had an RX8 in the mid 80, moved to a Flexon in the 90s. I've got quite a collection of Flexons and now a Krypton Pro!

These Raichle "Frankenboots" belong to my buddy Hugh Finerty (part-time Vail ski instructor).

Frankenboots... 2018 Full Tilt Classic Shell, 1985 Raichle Flexon Comp Tongues, New Custom Harb Ski Shop foot beds, 6 year old Zip Fit Custom Liners, 4 year old Hot Tronics boot heaters.

Did your friend Hugh Finerty share the reason for all the mix and match of parts to assemble that boot?

I’ll have to ask him.

Thought of @Philpug when I saw these.. Probably too small but still cool sighting..

What size are they and how much are they asking for the used boot?

They're gone. Took that photo a month ago. Think they were a men's 7

That is small, it might be the smallest adult boot size. Anything smaller might be a Jr boot. Mine are size 9 and 27 in the Full Tilt, see photo on earlier page this thread.

Always loved the colored 60s boots

I'll throw a couple old shots of my Flexon/Full Tilt quiver from many years ago:

In our conversation, this lady told me that "even after all these years, she has no bladder issues."

Quick Question for anyone who might know. I have a pair of Raichle Flexon's and they are Red with a Grey tongue. I am trying to figure out how old they might be. I don't think Flexon Comps as they say nothing on them. I want to say mid 80's but just not sure......any help would be great.

My guess is late 80's, mine are mid 80's and they are black and red with the plastic being a flat dull finish. I am sure there is a couple of photos of mine up thread. Post number 16. The smooth glossy finish plastic was later in the 80's.
