Reflex White Cuff Alternative?

[jbwann]

Been using the white cuff version of the reflex boot for what seems like 8 - 10 years. Which of the boot systems is similar? Looking to upgrade without making a dramatic change in feel. Thx

The classic slalom would be the closest. You have to cut the plastic tongue in the back of the lower shell to get it as close as possible. I used that in the beginning of the season but ended up using the classic trick shell instead. It has a more progressive feeling in the forward /backward flex as compared to the classic slalom boot where the strap makes for a more distinct stop forward.

I have a new spare classic boot but the top cuff is much stiffer than my White which I've also been on for years. I wish they still made the White cuff.

Thanks for the replies. Was hoping there was a super close option without cutting or adjusting but I’m guessing there is not. Bummer. Wish they still made it as well.

Get another white cuff boot. D3 has them.

Or try this thread, The Optimal Slalom Boot, and modify that classic boot. Just trimming away the plastic around the top of the lower cuff will help it tremendously.
