Hey!
I really need to find out the height or how tall the Dalbello Chakra Elevate 115 is from the base to the cuff? I don't have my boots right now but I'd really need that information. Can anyone measure and help me out? I don't know if the heights are different on different sizes but I wear a 26.5. But really, anything helps!! :)

I know this isn’t helpful but why do you need to know the height of the boot?

I have to order a brace cause I had an ACL reconstruction some time ago. And I have my boots at my countryside and can’t access them right now. And we have to take the measurements for the brace, but I’m not sure how tall the boot is.

I would reach out to Dalbello and explain your situation, it might also help to call a shop near you and see if they could talk to a rep

The height of the boot when it stands on the table is one thing, the height of the boot in relation to how high it comes up your leg while you are wearing it is another. Make sure you take the correct measurement.

Possibly helpful, possibly not, I had a DonJoy Fourcepoint Armour brace and Dalbello Il Morro's, the brace basically skimmed the top of the boot, with my new boots (Atomic Hawx Ultra XTD) there's a much bigger gap between brace and boot.

Thanks! How do you like the DonJoy?

Would prefer not to be wearing it but as I have to it's great. Been using it for 6 years after multiple ACL reconstructions, my knee feels super stable in it and it doesn't interfere with my skiing in any way I can notice. Just make sure it's sized right and you put it on correctly and you'll forget you have it on after a run or two.

I find if I put it on, do up the straps then do a few squats and lunges so it settles into the right place before giving the straps a final tighten it's all good to go.

As far as substantial braces go I can't imagine a better one.
