Which ski boot?

well if it comes down to how they look, which one matches your setup better?

rossi boots use not that good of plastic....

 

i guess..idk...just if any of you guys have had either boot in the past like how did u like it or waht you didn't like about it

hahahahahahaha...does anyone seriously use this method to decide on hardgoods?

They both feel the same to you? You need to try harder. You should read up on the differences between a 2 piece and 3 piece boot before you buy, because the Rampage is something kinda special in the boot world. I say, if you can get the Rampage for the same price and it FITS YOUR FOOT WELL, go with the rampage. I can't recommend a 3 piece boot enough.

dude he said they were pretty much the same in every way, i never consider aesthetics unless its the last thing

well ive always rented boots in the past and im actually going to buy boots this year so I don't really have that much knowledge about boots but thanks for the input

this is so incredibly true

Dude, read up on the internet about the differences between 3 piece and 2 piece boots, seriously, before you put that much money into an investment. Basically, here's the deal:

About 15 years ago, Raichle was a seriously great boot maker and they developed the revolutionary 3 piece boot called the Flexon. It made a huge splash and pros still trade them and spare parts for them on ebay (that should speak volumes, a 15 year old boot STILL in demand by the best of the best). It performs like no other boot in the way that it flexes. The flex is especially nice for soft snow and off-trail. Basically every other 2 piece boot out there is just a variation on the classic Lange race boot design, and the Flexon was the only one that was fundamentally different.
     The owner of Raichle died and the company passed to his daughter. She wasn't too interested and the business got mismanaged and fell apart. The Dalbello subsidiary company in Italy made Raichle's cheaper boots and didn't want to go under when the rest of the business did. So, they got a hold of the patent for the 3 piece boot. They developed the Flexon technology into the Krypton series. The Krypton is basically an updated Flexon. They changed 2 of the cable style buckles for modern buckles, they made the foot a little roomier in the vertical direction (the Flexon crushes feet), and they made it warmer (the Flexon is pretty cold). One way or another, the original Raichle molds got sold and a new company called Full Tilt was started around the idea of reproducing the original Flexon design. So, as it stands, the 3 piece boots are the Flexon, the Full Tilt, and the Kryptons, and every other boot out there is... well... just another boot.

Oh, but the caveat (other than the high price) with the Kryton or any other 3 piece is that they are narrow, so you gotta make sure they fit your feet.

i read that the toe gets cold sometimes...is it pretty noticeable?

You know, it's weird. The Flexon was cold. But some people say how warm the rampage is and others say how cold it is. I'm not sure the verdict really and it may be a liner difference. The ID liner (it has no tongue, it just kinda wraps around your foot) is really warm and was designed to work in a 3 piece boot, it isn't standard on the rampage I don't think.

alright cool...anyone else have any other input?

anyone?
