Koflack boots? Is there an Australian agent??

Bushwalking gear and paraphernalia. Electronic gadget topics (inc. GPS, PLB, chargers) belong in the 'Techno Babble' sub-forum.

TIP: The online Bushwalk Inventory System can help bushwalkers with a variety of bushwalk planning tasks, including: Manage which items they take bushwalking so that they do not forget anything they might need, plan meals for their walks, and automatically compile food/fuel shopping lists (lists of consumables) required to make and cook the meals for each walk. It is particularly useful for planning for groups who share food or other items, but is also useful for individual walkers.

Koflack boots? Is there an Australian agent??

I have found some boots on ebay with destroyed liners and am having trouble finding anyone who handles the brand.
Alternatively which after market liners would folk recommend?

Intuition liners feel much better than any standard liner. Check out promotive.com to get them half price at pro deal rates

I never knew that site existed, although I was aware that pro users often get a good deal.
Which team should I join under do you think? I no longer even attempt to make money under my ABN

Been talking to a bloke over on the US Telemark forums about my boot problems, he has suggested heel lifts as a short term solution in combination with an arch support I can do that but what I have here is foam midsole material so it compresses down after a while so I will loose the "Lift"
What in your opinions would be the best material to provide about 6mm of lift?
I am thinking about cork at the moment, what ever I buy I only need a piece about 150*70mm so cost isn't going to be a real issue.

You can buy a foam heel wedge from most good ski shops for bugger all. I would also recommend super feet foot beds which I use in all my footwear.

The only wedges I have tried were foam, Superfeet do not have enough heel lift { I tried mine already] neither do Orthoheels

Just called Auski, I don't call $15- "bugger all" but it isn't unreasonable either

I can get you 4mm ones tomorrow but can check with another friend that I might be able to get 6mm from. Mind you we tend to work more with 4mm and 8mm. Let me know and I'll grab the 4mm ones tomorrow if you want them and just PM me your address again. I think I deleted it. Cheers

Thanks Mic your parcel just arrived and I tried them already.
The 4mm lifts will allow me to get just one more season out of these old leather ski boots and worked well enough in the inners of the plastic doubles.
It tells me that 6mm is exactly what I need for my other boots as I added the 4mm to the homemade pads which had compressed to ~2mm already.
But I will definitely need new boots all around, which is a real pain in the wallet.

Well it's good news, thanks to BG's kindly offer of a set of wedges and some work with a knife on some footbeds my old double boots and my old leather ski boots may see though another season although I will need to wear thin socks to make it work.
On another note my Chouinard supergaiters just had their 25th birthday so is it any wonder the rand is starting to perish.
I thought that Auskis $15- a pair for wedges was a little steep, the local podiatrist wants $9- each. So! Many thanks Micheala
