Did my ski shop mess these boots up?

ok, so i went to my local shop (not totally into the whole freeskiing thing yet as i live in NY) and i'm looking at some dalbello krypton crossover boots. so i like how they feel and decide to buy 'em, cuz i can always return them if i change my mind. now after buying these boots i go to the dalbello site and realize that the krypton crossover has a traditional liner with a tongue... not a wraparound like mine did. i also realized that there only boot with a wraparound liner is the il moro (i'm highly considering ordering this boot). So now i'm starting to thing that somehow the liners got switched at the shop and this guy who's fitting me is completely retarded...
should i just return this mixed up boots and order il moros??? i want a softer more quality boot anyway.
oh yeah, i got the krypton crossovers for $600, i could probably find the il moro for a similar price anyway. which is better? also should i consider the salomon spk pro model (or kaos, whichever you guys recommend)?
i'd love any recommendations and will take all of you comments into deep consideration
thanks

I think you just got the intuition liner versions. Dalbello has normal and id liner versions.

From what i remember the crosses have the option of either liner, the intuition wrap being the better and also more expensive option.

oh yeah you are also retarded, kyrpton series and the SPK are the exact opposite fit, if the dalbello fits your foot why change, you can customize those boots a shitload to, change the tongues out, use the other gadgets they give you in the box, ive ridden both kyrpton pros for two seasons and the ill moro for one, i would suggest staying with the traditional boot, i.e. three buckle system, and getting some booster straps, I like that setup a lot more than the big snowboard strap thing

my foot fits in both the rampage and the spk. i got the rampage because i liked the fit. you just have to size them right. or i might just be a special case. my foot seems to fit everything but langes. but be happy taht you got the id liner, much better and much more support than the regular one. i may eventually pick some up for my rampages

I never thought i'd see that sentence. There is 8mm difference in the widths of the boots.
If you can get into the Rampage and it feels comfortable then the SPK is definitely not the boot for you.

my fucking foot fits in both boots...i bet a lot of people's feet do. what is with people on here being such boot nazis. everyday all i hear is: "dude you bought boots online you're such a fag you should have gone to the ultimate boot fitter and paid a million bucks" or " tard, you can't get full tilt cause you wear spk, the fit is like totally diff, OMG what a noob"

The guy asked for advice and people are giving him the best advice they can. The fact that the boots have considerable differences in width makes a huge difference in how comfortable they will be in the long run. Just because I can fit my foot into a size 13 shoe doesnt mean I should buy it.

dude, boots are way more important than skis. way more. if the boot doesn't handle how you want it. the ski won't too. You need to go get the perfect fit and go from there. but really boot fitting online takes months longer than at a good shop. if you don't have a good shop. fuck them and go online. but really if you have a good boot shop you wont need new boots for at least a few years making that second pair of skis that much easier.
