My buddy knows the rep for Dalbello. I might have a shot at getting either the Rampage's or The Pro for cost. The problem is that I don't have a chance to try them on before hand. I know all the shit about a boot is your most important piece of equipment and I should try on all sorts of brands before I buy but if I can get these dirt cheap, I'm gonna jump all over it. For the past couple years I've skied Rossi Bandit XX boots and been happy with them. Can anyone tell me the difference between how these boots fit and if I should stay the same size? I'm a 28.5 if it matters.

they arent for a wide foot, cuz i just got rampages in teh mail and it fits me well, the last pair i got were 30.0 and the kryptons are 29.5 and they fit better. but they are def. for a narrow foot

buy them and if they dont fit sell them to a fellow ns'er (or one of your buddies if it fits them) for what you paid for 'em. and enought to cover ship and whatnot of course.

I had the Rampage last season, great boot, great flex, but didn't fit me that well after it packed out. They fit pretty narrow, but so do most Rossi boots, so you might be Ok, I would stay with the same size, and if you need to swap them, I'm sure some online retailer or some shop would be able to help you, just say they were a gift or something. The thing about them is that when I tried them on, they seemed to fit good, but they have an ankle pocket, and after they packed out and whatnot, my ankle was missing the pocket and hitting the inside of the shell, and it hurt like hell to ride them, that's why I ended up getting rid of them. And I will tell you that they are cold as fuck, even on days when I otherwise would have been fine, those boots had my toes freezing, just a warning...you might wanna get some of those battery powered heating insoles if you're planning on riding them in very cold conditions.

Thanks for the best answer so far.
As for everyone else, I know I should try them on but can't. Like I said if I can get $700 boots for $300, I'll take the chance

well I am sure you could sell them to other people on this site if they don't work for you, and honistly I think I am going to stop caring about the feet of people on this site.
