Had the regular lupo and just got the ti. I have yet to try it but it seems well thought out and not just an alpine boot that they threw tech fittings on. The walk mode seems a little more useful than that in the original lupo, the new liner seems to walk better, the buckles with a walk position look like they would make for a speedy transition. All in all I'm super excited to try these out, I think they'll be a hit.

Awesome thanks dude, I want to just start getting into touring so not buying 2 pairs of boots is pretty high on my list haha

Bump because I'm considering these

I picked up a pair last season. Previously skied everything on Dalbello KR2s apart from touring when I used Technica Cochises. I was having problems with the feel of these boots and the lack of progression especially when hitting bumps and jumps.

First run on the Lupo TIs felt near enough identical to the KR2s. I have been able to ski them just as hard with the same plushness in the flex and hold from the liner. If your a fan of Dalbellos I would highly recommend them.

If your looking for more touring performance there is a carbon version coming out this year.

picked up a pair late last season so i haven't toured on them yet, but they ski as well as you would expect them too

do these have a good aggressive stance?

I've been on the dalbello virus boot for my touring setup for 4 years and am finally completely over it. the stance is too far back. I put spoilers behind the liners and I still feel like I'm gaping when in this boot. time to spend some $$

I found them to be a little too upright to be quite honest. Take a look at the lange freetours.

The reason the boot feels more upright is because of how skis are changing, the dalbello boots are designed to keep your weight over the centre of the ski to allow the rocketed tips to work more effectively. I find with mine as I'm just riding into a run I give them a squash forward to find the sweet spot
