Replying to FT/K2 FL3X vs Dalbello vs Roxa
Disclaimer: I know that boot advices are such a dumb topic, and the simple answer is "go to a bootfitter". But I want to get some "expert knowledge", since there is very few info out there. I have extremely standard/normal feet and all of the below mentioned boots fit me O.K. Also, I have never owned/skied-in s 3-piece/cabrio boot design before. I am a rather heavy rider (95kg, 210lb) and my current Hawx 120 (with an expert booster) are getting a lil worn out.
The question/advice I want is: Taking into consideration that all boots fit me equally well, for the 2025 season, should I get the K2 FL3X Revolve Pro/Team (as far as I understood from Evo's 2025 ski gear review, colour is the only thing that's getting changed), Dalbello Il Moro Pro/110 GW (same here, I think only colour is changed for the 2025 season), or unreleased 2025 Roxa R3 130/120?
What I managed to find:
Roxa's are super light, but the lightness comes with its price (durability/unexpected cracks). Furthermore, I don't really need the walk mode switch.
Regarding the Dalbello's, from what I got, the only difference between Il Moro's and other boots in their cabrio line-up is the rubbery bootboard. Moreover, there is no info on the difference between the "3DensityWrap Sport" liner on Il Moro's 110 and "3DensityWrap Max" on the Pro's.
The K2 Fl3X Pro/Team boot is mostly the "same" 20-year-old boot made from the same Raichle mold that had minor quality-of-life/customization tweaks here and there and cool graphics. And that the "Team" boot is stiffer compared to the "Pro" version.
I totally understand that there is no winner/best boot. I just want to understand (from your experience/rumors/opinion/etc.) what are the advantages/disadvantages of each boot's design. Preferrably in simple terms.
Any help/opinion is much appreciated!
Stay safe!
