Flex on a new Pair of Boots

Hey NS,
I need to cop some new boots soon. Right now I'm rocking Dalbello IL Moro T's and I love the flex on them. I looked at their site, and they rate them a 120 on the flex index which seems really high. Does anyone else have any experience with Dalbello's flex and how they compare to other boots? Just wondering if I could get away with getting a 100 flex instead of a 120/130 and save some $$$.
Sorry for the silly question. Thanks all.

If you went from Dalbello moro t to a boot with 100 flex index they will be waay to soft. If you like the boot, just get a pair of last years kr2 fusion/ core they are everywhere on outlets stores. They are 120-130 flex depending on the model. But if you are upgrading from Moro t then you probably had an older model so the standard of flex rating may have changed.
Hopefully that helps!

I find that Dalbello flex ratings are exactly what I expect when I think of what the number should represent.
I have tried Atomic boots, and I have crushed most of them, including the race line. I am not very big either so this was surprising to me.
Full Tilt is just soft. soft and maliable. dont mess with those boots if you liked Dalbello's
Rossignol has some on point flex numberss for what i expect, but they have a different boot design compared to what you liked. Rossi boots are cheaper than what you are looking at though, and after using them, I wouldn't hesitate to say they are possibly one of the best cost to performance ratio boots on the market. very underrated. They fit my foot very well aside from unique problems, but I also fit into Dalbello. I might consider it if I were you. I skied on the 120 flex "park" boot that was hot pink from a few seasons ago. light, warm, responsive, and a very functional boot overall. Every objective aspect of the boot was very impressive. Now that they have a nice murdered out colorway for last season, you could snag those for very cheap if you find that they fit.
