What are Dalbello v10 boots intended for?

I'm just lookin at getting some 2nd hand Dalbello v10 boots, all that it says about them is
"Dalbello V10 Custom ski boots, size 27.5, 4 months old, as new, only worn 3 times at snow planet.
Boots feature: Forward Flex, Forward Lean, Side Canting adjustment, Trufit 2 Inner boot. 06 model boot last year retailed at $899.00."
I'd be getting them to replace my Nordica Grand Prix (racing) boots because I want something a bit more flexible.
Does anyone know if Dalbello v10 boots are ok for freestyle stuff?
Cheers

My guess is that they are intended for skiing.
If they fit your foot then they're fine.

Haha thanks arem! Good to know that they'll work on the snow, but will they be ok for flying? It's really hard to find any info about them on the net. I found that they have a flex index of 15-17.
I'm sure plenty of people here use Dalbello Rampages which have flex index 8-15 so do many of you use them on the stiffest setting? All good?
My Nordica's flex is 115-135 which is ridiculously stiff so anything with a bit more flex than them would be good for not raping my shins.

I used Rampages, and they were fine, seriously, anything but a race last will probably be fine, most shinbang isn't from having boots that a too stiff anyhow. But if you find they seem a little stiff, soften them up, and get a booster strap.
Fit is by far the most important factor in boot choice, boots can be softened alot by a good fitter too.
