Dalbello Boots

I'm going to buy new boots soon and I'm pretty set on getting the Krypton Pro or Krypton IL Moro T. Notice the difference in cuff design in each boot.

In the Pro the cuff wraps over the tongue and in the IL Moro it doesn't but there is a big slap ratchet buckle.

I have small calves and I'm constantly fighting shin bang by putting spacers behind my liners and foam inside them to fill space and make a tighter fit.
My question is, which of these boots would be better for me? Are there any pros/cons of the 2 different cuff designs? Does anybody have any other opinions on which boot they like better?

I think they would fit the same. On the Il Moro's, the top buckle would act the same way as on the other boots.

I would say get the ill morros. Wrap around liners are much nicer( in my experience).

Arent the ill morros softer too?

Get the Pro with the Intuition wrap liner. I've had both boots and I definitely prefer the Pro, especially when it comes to shin tightness. The ratchet on the Il Moro was a cool idea, but I could never get it as tight as I wanted. When I tried, it would reach a stopping point and just tear up the ratchet strap.

With the Pro, you can crank down that top buckle a lot tighter to suit your needs. If you get the Intuition wrap liner (worth it), make sure you leave your top buckle and strap really loose when it is formed. This will let the foam expand more in the shin area giving you more padding and taking up more space.

this man knows his stuff. ive seen alot of the il moros with shredded ladder straps come through my shop. the pros are a better design. also what he said about leaving the top buckle quite loose during molding is 100% correct and will help you out a ton and the intuition in the pro will take up the most space around your shin forsure.

+++ karma for that legit reply

I was confused about how the cuff shape affects the boot as well. never figured it out, but I do have Il moro's though. very nice boots. really dig the shin system.

What exactly do you base this on?

They both come with hard and soft toungues, they both can come with intuition power wraps.
The only difference is that cuff/top buckle.

FWIW I have the il moro's and wish i had the krypton pro. The slap rachet is easy and quick but like someone said I sometimes can't get it tight enough and it has bust open on two big crashes.

Ditch the top rachet strap if you can find some old rampages to tear apart.  Everything should be completely swapable.  Everything looks like it would match up fine.
