Replying to Who the fuck is the new Krypton for?
Serious "look how they massacred my boy" vibes. The boot makes no sense at all, if you want to tour on a Krypton buy Lupo pros, its such a simple and easy alternative. Maybe there aren't many people like me who are interested in a ISO-soled, burly alpine boot, but there cant possibly be more people who spend the majority of their time in boots only skinning 100 yards at a time. And yet, thats exactly the consumer this boot is aimed at now. I work on the hill and live in my boots 9 hours a day 100+ days a year and the thing that drives me up the wall is now with tech fittings in the toe the plastic is thinner around those inserts. Constantly clicking in and out of alpine bindings rapidly erodes the plastic and exposes the metal, degrading the connection point between the boot and the toe piece. Anecdotal, but I purchased Lupo Pros a couple years ago with the intent of it being a do-it-all boot, but this erosion is the reason my Lupos are now dedicated touring boots. It's a swallowable but unfortunate possibility to buy Il Moros, paint them cause they look wack af, then find a dealer who can order me some "A" tongues. Mega ass pain. Anybody feel the same or am I alone on dumbass island with this one?
