From what I can tell, they are the same mold as the old raichle flexon. Seth Morrison is rocking them and he's been skiing the flexon's forever!

it maybe an ugly looking boot, but there are people who live and die by that boot. And seriously, as long it performs, who really cares what it looks like.

i just tried them on and they come in a bunch of colours, you can buy 5 dif tongues to adjust the stiffness, supper comfy, super light, fit about the same as the cross's for me. the liner can be baked and its a nice liner, price at the store was 549 cad, but will probably be about

anyone talking shit about the flexons/full tile due to the way they look obviously has no clue what they are talking about.

Regarding the boot - same mold, same components, same kickass boot. There will be more options available to customize them now, plus replacment parts will be easier to get.

I'm fucking stocked.

and regarding the ugliest boot ever....none of you have ever seen a Daleboot I guess. 

It is pretty sad that you kids are bitching about how the boot is ugly and such....kind of hard to see what a boot looks like under XXL oakleys.  Daleboots (complete customs) and Flexons are some of the best boots made.

nice feeling boot. super narrow. cheap ass construction. them and dalbello are the only ones that send out spare parts to shops. still, people love these boots. they must have something if people are willing to piece together the boot year after year.

the liners are shit if you ski hard. they are great for long backcountry journeys when your feet need to stay warm, but they are so soft they have way less performance then most other generic liners.

if you've been in the game for the last ten years, you'd know that the raichle flexons were the sicnar, so you know these boots are gonna be dope. they are pretty steezy too.

"Why doesn't everyone use a thermal liner? Depending on the particular liner and foam type, thermal liners can pack out a little quicker than standard liners. Sure, you can remold them several times, but they will eventually break down and need to be replaced. Also, heat moldable liners generally provide slightly less support than standards - which sometimes results in a slightly softer forward flex. So there are a few downsides to thermal liners, but their customizability and decreased weight have definitely made them the top choice of most skiers in recent years."

something else to note about these, dalbello designed the krypton boot line off of the old flexxon. even before that line developed their now discontinued transfer boot off of the flexxons. so many people loved the transfers and tons of people rave about the kryptons. so there is definitly something to be said about these boots.

i'm now a believer that the average IQ of a newschoolers.com member is lower than the IQ of a 6" tuna on wheat from subway.

i've had turqiouse and yellow raichle flexon comps for the past 2 years now, quite possible the ugliest boot ever but quite possibly the best boot ever as well.
