hey
i just got myself a new pair of dalbello il moro i.d. skiboots in transparent white :)
the kick ass but i somehow cant figure out which one of the tongues is the stiffer one.
they came with 2 interchangable tongues - one has a sticker saying B on the inside and the other one came with a C...
i believe C is the stiffer one. so if someone could just tell me if i'm right i'd be grateful x)
thanks

Yo, nice choice on boots if I may so myself. Picked up my pair last Tuesday.

I've been walking around with my B's in. Wondering the same thing...which is stiffer, B or C...

I think we concluded C was stiffer. I am going to call Dalbello today

And if I recall my manual didn't have shit for information. Are you going to be dyeing your boots or anything like that? The shell looks like its practically made for kids to dye...

i just figured out the C tongue is heavier so i'm assuming this is the stiffer one. i also feel its easier to bend the B tongue with my hands...
-> B: medium flex
->C: stiff flex

i'm pretty sure i'm right but still you got the opportunity to prove me wrong ;)

btw i'm not thinking about dying my boots i really love them the way they are

Yeah I am not going to dye them either. Although I think it would be sweet if the shell was red.

I got a pair of krypton pros.

Had the same question and felt like a dumby when the guy that molded them showed me how to tell the difference...

Its literally as easy as putting them in your hands and trying to flex them.  It will be super clear which are the stiff ones and which are the softer tongues.
