Dalbello Krypton Cross ski boots offer advanced freeriders a sensitive fit and responsive power. 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 a 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. Liners feature medium density foam around the rear foot and tongue neoprene toe box stretches for comfort and fit ceramic insulation enhances warmth. Lightweight liners also feature a microfleece lining, a performance insole and a wrap design that optimizes control of the volume of the rear foot. 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. Loop on each tongue aids entry and exit. 3 microadjustable aluminum buckles on each boot create a precision fit 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. Power straps lock in the cuffs and increase support. 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.
