The family of boots headlined by the Krypton Pro embodies the best attributes of the 3-piece, cabrio shell design. This button takes you to the relevant America's Best Bootfitters review. If you determine your next boot will be a Dalbello, we suggest you step up and select the Intuition liner option.ĭalbello elbowed its way into the US market with a strong cost/value message and continues to offer a lot of boot for the money.
Dalbello krypton how to#
Dalbello was the first major brand to commit to using Intuition liners as a standard feature, and they’ve figured out how to adapt to the various shells and energy transmission needs across their line. But as they say in fairy tales, if the shoe fits, wear it.Ī lot of Dalbello’s high-end models come with heat-moldable Intuition™ inner boots. They won’t work equally well for just any shape of foot and while the tongues are easy to replace with softer or stiffer versions, the shells are otherwise not as easy to work on as traditional overlap shells. While Dalbello undoubtedly has demonstrated how to get the best out of this configuration, for this shell to work properly the foot has to be snugged against all 3 elements. The overall line accommodates so many foot shapes in so many different shell structures, it’s meaningless to say, “I like how Dalbellos fit.” With Dalbello, you have to be very specific about which shell and liner combo intrigues you, for they cover so many distinctively different fit environments and performance attributes.īecause the cabrio construction is Dalbello’s wheelhouse, allow us to add a word of caution when it comes to these shells.
Dalbello krypton series#
If this doesn’t sound like your kind of skiing, fear not: Dalbello makes several very different flavors using the 3-piece shell as the foundation, from super cushy ladies’ slippers to rugged Alpine Touring iterations, in fits that range from tugboat wide to daringly close-fitting.ĭalbello would have a complete collection if they stopped there, but they also have an end-to-end line-up of four-buckle overlap shells for all-mountain skiing, a race boot series and a catalog of kids’ boots that sell like candy. They optimized its performance properties by playing up its strengths: a stout spine and sidewall construction extending from the lower shell correct pivot location, a key element in this design’s successful execution and a ribbed external tongue to manage flex and forward energy transmission.įrom a performance standpoint, the brilliance of the 3-piece “cabrio” design is the way it blends lightning lateral reaction with a progressive flex that’s well suited to handling the shocks of off-piste skiing at speed. Dalbello didn’t just copy the adopted Raichle design the company improved on it. No other boot brand has done more with the 3-piece external-tongue shell design than Dalbello.
