Just wondering if it’s just because we are looking for them or are they really the only boot of that vintage that people still use or value..? Before Full Tilt’resurrected the Raichle mold, I’d see Flexons and Franken-Flexons fairly frequently.

You guys are almost making me want to take my SX90s out again for old time's sake.

Almost.

I've got some Nordica HF's to take their place now though.

I think that there so few rear entry boots available the people who have the SX boots just don't want to replace them.

The week prior I spotted these and thought of that scary binding thread, then I saw them slung over someone's shoulder.

Not sure what these are, but I rode the chair behind and his binding ejected him upon departure. Writing on the boots was worn off.

I spoke with a gentlemen about his in lift, saying they were rare, he told me he bought them new in 86, still rememberd the price, he had to use them since he had 28 ? bone breaks from falling off a ladder ;D

I tipped him about nordica hf series now, and he was stoked
