2009 Dalbello Axion 11 ski boots score 94 out of 100 points

By: Team Billy Flanagan

Finding this shoe was like coming home again after a really long trip… I had two pair of the Avanti and when it became part of history I switched to the Krypton. I honestly think the Krypton Pro is the best skiing shoe I’ve ever had, but it is so narrow that in the Spring my toes always felt as if they might explode! The width of the Axion is perfect. NO need for customizing, or blowing out the shell. NOT one ‘hot spot”. This shoe is flat-out comfortable.

Good luck finding a pair. Most of these shop “Dudes” want to jam you into a boot that they think is best,. so they don’t carry the Axion!?! Very few Dalbello dealers even know about this shoe. They get stuck on the Krypton and can’t see the light. Too bad, this shoe is pain free, hastle free, custom fit free. It simply works.
