Light, good liner, but they can be a little tight at the little toe (or 5th met head) for some people or in the ankle area.  The great thing about the Rampage is that the shell is pretty thick, so if you have a good boot fitter in the area, they are pretty easy to work on, and will give lots of room to work with.

That said, go see a boot fitter and buy the boot that fits your foot well.  Don't buy into hype.

Seriously...

Also some of the stuff he said was a little too kind. I had to borrow my friends for a comp run, broke my heel plate. I usually ski and SPK, after 11minutes exactly in the boot i was in agony, it resulted in me losing two toenails because they were so wrong for my foot. So saying it may be a little tight is a huge understatement. Don't buy without trying them.

Kid.
one use the searchbar.
two go to a bootfitter.

These threads are beginning to get some common it's annoying.

like harry potter, the person doesnt choose the boot, the boot chooses the person

bootfitter. if they fit, they're comfy, surprise surprise. i wouldn't exactly call them light though. lots of plastic (thick shell) + metal = not light.

NOT as comfortable as a full tilt boot, which is the design the dalbello chaps tried to replicate.

It isn't a case of should...
There must be a bootfitter near you if you live near a resort...
If you don't live near a resort then wait until your trip to one until you buy your boots.
It's that simple.
If you live near a bootfitter that doesn't stock dalbello, get them to analyse your foot, and write it all down, email dalbello with the info and ee if they have a suggestion. It's not ideal but better than just buying them.
The hours of pain you may suffer will not be worth the 20%savings...

they are a sick boot IF they fit. so be smart and get fitted, boots are only the most important piece of equipment so it makes sense to have a boot thats right for your feet.

You can find Intuition liners at most good boot fitters for either a little more, or a little less than $200.  They'll make your boots feel quite a bit better.

Personally I think theyre a real sweet boot!! I would advise buyin them too small cause they do pack out a fair bit. Mine were brutal on my feet for the first 2 days but after that they fit perfect. The middle strap is ace for keepin your heel locked back/down as well.
