i'm choosing between these boots too! firstly, where are you gonna get them especially dalbello, in the uk? i know EB has full tilt..
from what i gathered from my research on these boots, the dalbello will be heavier, but not too much depending on which boot.. Krypton pros are much heavier than Il Moros I think.. but the dalbellos are also meant to be tougher and deliver more power to the ski.. the ID liner is basically an intuition liner just fitted directly for dalbello boots.. I'm going to try on the dalbellos first, but i think I will end up trying to get a pair of Il Moros myself..

the whole transferring power to the ground thing is madness. you need a laterally stiff boot, not a stiff foward flexing boot. a laterally stiff boot allows u good power transfer to your edges and with the current shape of skis is whats important.

im going full tilt for a few reasons, the progressive flex thats not screw up by putting buckles on the boot (like the dalbellos) the interchangeable tongues (which is stiff enough to handle my weight in the cold, all 200 pounds) and the weight of the boot, which, in a 29.5, is really substantial

That makes no sense.  The Dalbello with the I.D. liner is just as moldable as the Full Tilt with the Intuition liner, because they are basically the same liner.

None of those guys get paid to ride Full Tilt Boots.  This is straight from their site:

"We actually don't pay anyone to ride our boots. The pros you see rocking Full Tilt, ride them because they know it's the product that gives them an advantage over people that ride conventional overlap boots. Of course if you're one of the lucky people that spend a lot of time on the pro level podiums or star in well known big name ski films we may consider sending you a pair to kick even more butt in. Otherwise, we're just a bunch of boot fitters that live and breathe boots. We believe the most important place to put our money right now, is back into the product."



Next time why don't you listen to what I say instead of go against me.  Do you really think that I am that ignorant?

when was kristi richards olympic mogul champion??

2006 men - Dale Bagg Smith,
2006 women - Jenifer Heil,
2002 men - Janne Lahtela
2002  women, Kari Traa
1998 men - Jonny Mosely
1998 women - Tae Satoya
1994 men - Jean-luc Brassard
1994 women - Stine Lise Hattestad
1992 men -  Edgar Grospiron
1992 women - Philippe Laroche

before i get hate for writing 1992 olympic games and 1994 olympic games these years are correct, the winter olympics used to run in the same year as the Summer olympic games. They ran the winter olympic games twice in the space of two years to step the games out of sync.
