BLAX Shoes and F2 Silberpfeil

I have older Blax "Toni" Bought new long ago. If those boot liners are worn much I highly recomend buying moldable liners, boot fit is as important as the board.

we will see If I can handle it

I bought the Nidecker Custom GS

,
the one I showed earlier and I am VERY satisfied - the condition is perfect, there is still a lot of material on the edges and they are sharp- the owner didn't ride it much because he had trouble finding boots size 47

The price was also great - board with burton bindings for less than 100 euro

Moldable liners - you mean thermoflex? Can they fit info non deeluxe boots?

Moldble liners should be ok for your boot, on the other hand keep in mind that moldable liner are typicall softer than others, hence less power transmission.

I used the Raichle thermoflex in my Blax and they are much softer flexing than the original liners, but I like softer flex as I use them off piste in powder & trees as much as on groomed trails.
Inuition liners, & Zipfit liners are much stiffer that the thermoflex, google the names & check them out.

Most moldable liners conform to the boot and your foot when heated.

Thank you

After reading the links you gave me I've got a bit confused about the size and I'm going to a snowboard shop to try on some shoes and regarding to the tutorials choose the right size.

Thank's. Sect that's a good one

My favourite type of carving is the swiss "extreme carving", but I will be focusing on race carving - because I don't want to spend more money on the clothes than on skipasses

I know the idea of moldable liners

but I think I have to try the boot first before upgrading the liners. Then I will probably change for the moldable liners, because everyone says that the fitting is great.

Which one do you personally prefer?

Cheers

I have not tried the zipfits or intuitions myself, but friends use them and flexing them by hand they are more stiff than thermoflex that I love. I've used the original blax liners in the raichles for a stiffer flex.
