narrowed it down to either dalbello krypton pro or il moro. anyone want to advise me on one over the other it would be appreciated. im skiing in utah this season so which ever boot is going to be good all around is what im looking for.

Have you tried either of them on???

Because they may not be the boot you need for your foot if you havnt tried them on.

this first, but if you've tried them on and like both go with the Il Morro, much more customizable and is more high performance (they are similar to Full Tilts too).

i think you mixed up the il moro with the pro, the pro is stiffer, more customizable, and overall a better boot, i dislike the ratchet strap on the il moro

what size are you? i'm selling some pro's right now

also ID liner is a MUST, it'll make everything better, even non-skiing related things

Solution: Ask your local shop. Most NSers aren't professional bootfitters. Talk to the bootfitters where you tried them on. /thread.

i tried both at my shop the other day, the pro is quite a bit stiffer

i think you should've been able to tell that if you tried them on....

i didn't like the il moro as much, the pro had much more support and i liked the flex, i also don't like the ratchet on the il moro

but yeah try them on again, i thought they felt different on my feet so whichever you like better

il moro is a really versatile park boot that can still charge really hard when setup for it. the pro is a full on freeride boot thats designed for charging all the time. i have soft and stiff tongues in my ilmoros, and the softs are awesome in the park, but get squirrely tryin to control big skis in soft snow. the stiff tongue makes them pretty damn good, but in choppy crud and such, i wouldnt mind more stiffness. the pro's lower shell is a stiffer plastic, so its stiffer with both tongues comparatively. I actually really like the upper strap on the il moro, it seems to let the boot flex smoother, and deeper, plus you can tighten them through your pants.

if your gonna be in utah, id prolly go with the pro. and yea, ID liners are sooooooooo good. get um for sure.
