Well after about 5 seasons on my old Salomons it was definitely time for a new boot.  After a bunch of research, trying on dozens of boots including FT, SPK's, ect... I finally decided on the Dalbello Rampage.  Fits great and has the flex I'm looking for.  I just can't decide what color.  I'm leaning towards the New Bordeaux (red).  Any opinions?

do you have your outwear set for this year yet? can't hurt to try to match that. If you don't i would go with black because they will look sick with anything.

Get what you like, nobody cares about your boot colour. If you're so worried about it, go black, it's bound to offend the least amount of people

Just lookin for opinions, not someone to make my mind up for me.  Isn't that a part of what this forum is for? And as for ski gear its accumulated over the years so I have quite a bit of color schemes to choose from.

Buy both, so you can wear one in each color.

I'm partial to black, but remember you can always dye the white potions to whatever color you want, so there could be come cool combo's with those boots.

the black boots will work with most outerwear looks, but the red ones look sick, go with red
