I know both of these boots are based off the same design of that old ski boot. But what I want to know is that are these boots the same, if so how? if not how come?

Full tilt boots bought the 3 piece molds for their boots from flexon (original company), so they are not just based off of the original design, but they actually are the original design. The dalbello boots are newer, with different molds, so they are different from full tilt.

the full tlilt and dalbello molds are different boots based off the same three peice design. i have the rampages and have played around with the full tilt boot a couple of times...the rampage boots are significantly heavier than the full tilt bumblebee. mainly i think because the dalbello cabrio design is thicker
in the lower shell and on the back piece...i fell that the overall design of the krypton series is a better designed boot and more burly, but the full tilt boots are softer and lighter and i would say take less break in time. The ratcheting system of the full tilt boots i personally is flimsy and sucks...so yeah that is all i can really put in before i start making shit up

The both have sorta deep heels and are a bit tighter than salomons around the arch. But really, you wont know if your foot fits them until you actually go an put your foot in the boot itself. I use Salomons because I thought I had a wide foot, but my feet fit these (in the words of the bootfitter) perfectly. Now I just need the money to buy a pair.

both have relatively narrow lasts but you just need to try em on. I thought i had moderate to wide feet. I could never fit in nike running shoes (narrow) but Kryptons fit me perfectly.

yea i heard the kryptons where extremely narrow, but when i put my wide foot in them they fit pretty good. i just have to get them punched cause they do cause some pain once and a while on the side of my foot
