get full tilts




well actually they are full tilts. Same mold. You should be good, some models crack easily I heard though

Go. To. A. Boot.-Fitter!!!!!!

Go for them, as long as they fit. Boots are the most important pieces in a skier setup

What is the difference between full tilts and Raichle?

The biggest difference is the fact the shells are old. Plastic does not last forever, so they will become more brital. You may never have a problem or you may crack them first day. Thats the issue with old boots there are usually no warning signs that something is going to go wrong.

Other then that they will be pretty much the same, but you would be better off going to a bootfitter and have him decide the best boot for you. It may even be a full tilt.

Dopest boots out there. Better than full tilts. Get them, you will not be dissappointed. I wish Raichle was still around. They made some dope ass shoes too.

A boot that is probably 20+ years old is NOT better than today's boots. The liners are outdated, and the plastic may be brittle and susceptible to cracking. I would not get those boots OP.

If they are the right fit for you, just get some full tilts. Same mould, but with a nice intuition liner.
