Does anyone now if there is a difference between these boots? They seem to be the same boot with a different design to me.

Bump. Anyone have an opinion on the matter? I am now in the same situation. I got fitted for rampages, but the kingstons are a much better deal. However the best deal would be last year's used kryptons in the same size I was fitted for. Any ideas?
Thanks

I actually talked to a rep and the rampage 09 and 10 are the same boot as the Kingston. There are just minor tweaks between the two years and the design differences. So if one boot fits the others should fit fine.

Go for the Kryptons. You can always get a softer tounge if you need it but your getting the best boot that money can buy seeing that then don't change the Krypton much from year to year (assuming your redering to the Pro's)

Thanks. Right now I think that I have three main options. I could get the used 08 krypton rampages for $110, new kingstons for $320, and new 09 rampages for $320.
What do you guys recomend? I also fit in fill tilts, but I seem to like the dalbello's buckles
more.

The kingston is a limited colorway of the rampage, but never was in any of the catalogs.

Are the '08 Rampages the white with brown/black ones?

Yes, it's white with the brownish top.

If the liner isn't too packed out on the used Rampages, get them. Even if they are, get some Intuition Power Wraps and put them in those boots and you have a solid boot. for the same price as the new boots. Intuition liners run for about $150-200 depending on shop. Just make sure that the sole on the used boots you are buying are not worn out.

Yeah, i have those with brand new intuition liners. Couldn't be more happy!
You can't go wrong with any of them but that's a good way to go. The park shell with the best liners.
