hey guys I have been to a boot fitter and narrowed it down to the following boots:
Dalbello Il Moro T
Salomon Pro Model
I am also open for other suggestions. I want a light super comfy boot flex 100+ that has no toe or shin bang. Is the ratchet system in the dalbello good? thanks NS

I had Salomon SPK's (the original model). They were good for park and shit for everything else. They're just foot buckets, didn't really hold my feet in place. My heels never stayed down. No shin bang though.

I tested the Il Moro some time ago (at an expo, so no skiing) and it actually feels like a real boot. The flex feels way better than the SPK's and it feels like I could do some real skiing with them too. I love the buckles that hold my heels in place. Also the liner is super comfortable.

I actually liked the Il Moros so much that I bought them.

Just my $0.02

Always get the better fit... those boots are quite different in terms of their last.  And then which ever one ends up being a better match to your foot, GET A FOOTBED.  That is a super crucial element in terms of keeping your foot in the correct place inside the boot and maintaining proper foot-ankle-shin-knee-hip alignment.  Your balance will thank you, and that obviously will come in handy.

hi if u ask me its not possible that both boots fit well. if the ilmoro fits good the spk is too big in width. messure ur feets width if its about 100mm the il moro sehll is basically a good choice for you. If u like the ilmoro take a look at the Full Tilt collection. its designed for narrow feets. But you need to try them of course. And problems like shinbang normally solved by overlapping liners like full tilt and dalbello for example. And with a good fitting shell every bootfitter should be able to reduce shin bang aswell. but it said one 1000 times u need to try them get them fitted. hop i could help and sry for my english skills ^^

well if they both fit perfectly then do whatever one you like the flex of and read reviews i guess...but i'm assuming they fit differently and therefore one will fit better than the other

i'm a fan of kryptons but i'm pretty sure one will fit better than the other so get that
