Kniessl Rail ski Boots for snowboarding?

Post by **Jonnie Tyler** » Tuesday 23 April 2002, 0:06

Has anyone tried Kniessl Rail ski boots for snowboarding? I tried on a pair and the boots are very comfortable. The flex feels almost identical to my Nordica SBH's (snowboard specific hard boots) - at least when I was walking around the store.

The lining in my Nordica SBH's are totally packed out, so its time to retire the boots. I also tried on a pair of Raichle AF600's but the boots were not as comfortable and were $150 more expensive.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

get custom injected foam linings for your nordica..
it last 5-7 years if you treat them good.. and its THE custom solution
try sidas/comformable or zip fit brand too...

I have mine since 1995, and they just worn out this season, i'm getting new boots (AF700) and new injections for next season if i can afford it ( also got to get 2 new boards gee !)

Nils,

Replacing the liners with custom liners was my original option. Research on the web indicated that custom liners should get shop fitted to ensure a good fit. Only one shop in my area sold custom liners (Raichle Thermoflex) and they were $130.

I found the Kniessl Rail on sale for $200. So for an additional $70, I'd prefer to just get new boots.
