Dalbello Sports Virus Lite ID Boot

I'm really stoked to finally own this boot! The hefty price tag steered me clear for along time, but man am I happy with what I've purchased. These boots are the bomb for a no compromise touring boot. They are more capable of driving a ski than other softer feeling touring boots. Built around Dalbello's Krypton Pro basic design, these are unlike any touring boot out there. They provide almost infinite flex, yet still are able to provide the leverage needed to ski at higher speeds. With a huge range of motion for walk mode, they make skinning (almost) enjoyable. The Intuition liner makes the fit of these as close as you can get to completely custom foam liner without buying them. As with most ski boots, a custom foot bed is recommended for best fit and support, which should eliminate some of the high volume this boot provides initially.
