Crispi Diablo Free Ride Boot

5 Star Rating

Nice stiff AT boot with good walk mode.

By Ranked #244 - Alpine Touring Boots June 12, 2010

I was looking for a nice stiff AT boot, and after reading some great reviews in Italian, I knew this boot was the right choice. Super stiff and crazy articulation on the downhill, and amazingly comfortable and flexible walk mode for the uphill. I was riding with a friend with the new Dynafit titans, I was amazed how closely our walk modes compared in movement, making for an easy climb, and tearing up the downhill these were about as stiff as my Lange dowhhill boots. Definitely my greatest purchase for getting into AT, these boots will be alongside me until I (can afford to) go fully Dynafit. Anything less I wouldn't have the support I demand in the backcountry.
BTW the liner packs a little quickly, but the boot is excellent, and with intuitions they have almost no flaws.

They do not have a real bellows. It is just a solid plastic design that looks like a bellows.

Hi Alex. I notice these boots have "bellows" to allow bend at the toe. But will they fit in my Fritchie Diamir Freeride bindings.... Or any other Alpine DIN binding. Cheers Andrew
