Likes: Dalbello is the biggest boot maker that few people knows about. They are a top 5 brand with their main production in the famous boot making town of Montebelluna in Italy. For years, Dalbello specialized in mid-market boots mostly offering softer flexes and high volume (roomy) fits. In reacent years, they have started to effectively pursue the higher end market with boots like the "Proton" and Krypton lines. The Krypton is especially innovative as it uses a three piece shell design and a unique three buckl gemoetry. The Krypton has become very popular in the freestyle and freeride commiunities. They have marketetd their upscale offerings effectively by the signing of skiing athletes like the legendary Glen Plake and Kim Reichelm for both endorsements and product development..
