    Designed for experienced skiers, the Dalbello Krypton Storm ski boots are masters of difficult skiing in any type of snow.

    • Women-specific fit is designed for your foot and calf; fabrics and extra insulation are selected for their softness and warmth
    • Ski easier, ski longer—the structural materials are lighter and more flexible than those used in men's boots
    • Offering a precise foothold and a progressive forward flex, 3-piece shell optimizes responsiveness for today's relatively short, wide skis
    • Separate cuff, shell and tongue sections are joined together to create a compliant forward flex with rigid lateral support and resolute rearward support
    • Compliant forward flex prevents skis from initiating turn too soon; lateral and rearward support provide aggressive skiers with the power to drive skis through the turn
    • Low cuff hinges allow boots to easily follow the legs' natural movement, efficiently delivering power and leverage to the skis
    • Interior of shells is contoured to match 4 critical fit points and enhance performance
    • Highly resilient nylon tongues enhance responsiveness, control and sensitivity to skis and snow surface; they are flex-adjusted for female skiers
    • Lady fit liners are shaped specifically for women's feet, with tapered heels, roomy forefeet, high insteps and low-profile cuffs
    • Lightweight, custom-formable liners also feature a microfleece lining, a performance insole and a wrap design that optimizes control of rearfoot volume
    • Liners are engineered to fit correctly right out of the box, but they can be custom formed as well, a procedure best performed in an REI specialty ski shop
    • Women-specific cuffs are cut low in back to ensure a comfortable fit for your calf; shim in rear cuff is removable
    • Each boot has 3 microadjustable aluminum buckles with a wide, easy-to-close profile; inverted bottom buckles won't come loose from contact with snow
    • Cable instep buckle on each boot minimizes foot sliding, heel lift and shell distortion while flexing, and a specialized adjustment fine-tunes the cable tension
    • Twin canting adjusts the cuffs to fit the angles of your lower legs, levels the soles of the boots above the skis and offers a versatile range of adjustment
    • Set the forward lean to customize the boots to your preferred style: boots include a wedge that raises lean to 13° and a separate wedge that raises lean to 15°
    • Adjustable rear spoiler shores up the space behind your calf; spoiler can be removed completely if desired
    • Boots include 2 flex adjustment blocks; blocks can be installed in the rear of the boot to stiffen or slacken flex
    • With a flex index of 85 - 115, Dalbello Krypton Storm ski boots offer flex appropriate for advanced, aggressive female skiers
    • 98mm last provides a responsive, precision fit that's designed for discriminating feet

    Imported.

      Comments about Dalbello Krypton Storm Ski Boots - Women's - 2011/2012:

      I have instructed downhill skiers each season since 1986. I am a Expert skier who is not as agressive anymore but still enjoys skiing off piste and steep terrain. I also participate in weekly recreational downhill race competitions.

      What I LOVE About This Boot! I have an excellent boot fitter who recomended this boot for it's versitility in adjusting it's fit to my skiing style for the day.

      I can remove "stiffinners" when teaching so I have a more relaxed, upright fit when working with beginners all day...The following day I can add the "stiffinners" for a recreational race or for better control in steep conditions. I have a high arch which was easily accomadated by adding arch supports that come with the boot which are adequate without inserting a custom made insole that most shops attempt to sell customers as an "extra must have" for a "good boot fit".

      This boot is for the skier who understands thier equipment and, how to adjust it for maximum use. A reputable skilled boot fitter who desires to sell you the right boot for you vs. the most boot you can afford is ESSENTIAL. Don't buy because it is the most expensive...Buy because you require a high level, versitile boot!

        Comments about Dalbello Krypton Storm Ski Boots - Women's - 2011/2012:

        First off, my previous boots were Salomons. I was used to that fit-that a Mondo 25.5 was a 25.5. Dalbellos run big so consider this boot only if you are familiar with Dalbellos. Secondly, the fit on day 1 was great compared to the fit on day 3. The bootfitter I consulted-who worked exclusively with Dalbello-told me why. Dalbello liners pack out quickly. Completely unacceptible for a [$] boot!

        • Sizing:
