So I have been skiing the Raichle Flexon Comps for 20+/- years now. Have tried other boots and always went back to the Raichle's. But they are showing their age. Are these the exact same mold? And about same thickness liner? So should fit fine? Or not? My foot is a bit wide but the Flexon Comps always worked great for me. And which Hot Dogger has a flex stiffness similiar to the Flexon Comps? Similiar to 20 year old Flexon Comps?

Hi Brad, The last is the exact same as the last which was used in the Raichle Flexon Comp. I also used to ski in that boot. The shell thickness is just as thick, and is actually one of the thicker shell materials on the market, which is great if you need custom work done on the boot. If you had a Raichle Full Wrap liner you will notice that this new Full Tilt liner is actually an upgrade in performance, but just as customizable. As far as the flex goes, Flexons were always completely interchangeable with their stiffness. Some tongues have numbers 1-10 on them (inside part of the tongue), if you can find that number it will be easier to tell, if not you will have to take a guess by flexing it in your hands. A stiffer tongue..6-10 flex will be fairly difficult to flex by pushing your hands together. A softer flex will be quite easy. One really really good option for you would be to go with the Full Tilt Konflict boot. I say this because that specific boot comes with 2 tongues, an 8/10 flex (their stiffest tongue) and a 4/10 flex (same stiffness as the Hot Dogger). The Konflict comes with the same active (rubber) boot board as the Hot Dogger which means it will help to soak up impacts. The Konflict has their highest density liner, which means it is a stiffer liner, but also will not pack out as quickly, and it features the stronger aluminum cable anchors for added durability.
