Dalbello Krypton Storm Ski Boots - Women's - 2011/2012
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.
