Dalbello Kr 2 Core Ski Boots (Opinions?)

Well, I finally decided to get Dalbello's and I'm really excited. I went and tried on Voodoo's but they were a bit too wide so the bootfitter had me try on a pair of krypton core boots and I loved them. I'm definitely going to get them but I was wondering if anyone had experience with them or a similar boot? I just want to know how they will perform all over the mountain?

THe krypton shell is imo the best around. I ride the il moros and they kill it everywhere, they are a bit soft for some situations but that has nothing to do with your boot.

Ive been on the rampage for two seasons now. Best performing boot Ive ridden for sure but I have really fucked up feet so I have had a few issues with them.

this. make sure you take the time at the bootfitters to find out where you should buckle it up and then adjust from there

the new kr 2's have a 2ยบ ramp angle, which means you are almost perfectly neutral on the ski, which is AWESOME for symmetrical park skis and most of the new fat skis around. if they fit you, go for them. I just put a guy in a pair yesterday (I'm a bootfitter) and he was super stoked on them.

I have the KR Core 2 and they are an amazing pair of boots that fit me really well and are very comfortable at the same time, the only thing I would recommend is that you change the Dalbello stock power strap with a booster strap as that thing is like having your shins hit a brick wall.

Other than that they are the best thing ever and look the shit too although that doesnt really count for much i suppose.

You'll have a blast on them.

I have a skinny foot... Too much room above the toes and around, and the heel pocket is enormous... The 26.5 is generally alot bigger than KR one... They fit nothing like the old which I used to wear, I was disappointed... But still great boot if they fit you.
