Alright so i have the Dalbello rampage boots in a size 27. I have only used them about 10-15 times and my ankles just keep hurting. I think my feet are just too wide for the boot or maybe it may just be my ankles. Does anyone have the same problem with their rampages? Im looking into getting some SPK pro models but im really not sure how they fit compared to the rampage. Should i try to modify my rampages or just get new boots? thanks alot
 
i would try to modify the rampages, some fitters will do that for free if you bought them from a ski shop

the SPKs are significantly wider than the rampages - possibly even too wide
 
.
if the rampages fit your foot (not your ankle) right, keep them, you'll be swimming in the spks. have a bootfitter heat mold the liners. if that doesnt fix it, have them grind or punch it a bit
 
yeah they are, unsure if that will fix the problem though - as after 10-15 days in them, the liners will have essentially heat molded themselves anyway.

Often people have problems with their ankles or heel because of slight irregularities in the bone structure so it bfeels like there is pressure on the same spot all the time.

The bootfitter will probably grind out a part of the heel cup - it's difficult to stretch that area because it's hard to access, but it's not impossible

I'd try putting a heel lift in there firstly and seeing how that goes - if that doesn't work and you already have footbeds, then look at shell work
 
there are solutions to this problem, minimal a heel lift or varus or vargus wedges, to reposition the foot. if the shell fit is tight which is possibly the case, the trufit liner isn't that great in a krypton boot if you have a boney medium size ankle. one easy solution slightly expensive tho is get the dalbello thermo gold id liners its a much denser foam, will improve fit throughout and not pack out in the ankle pocket, i have thermo ids in my rampages and il moros and highly recommend them. the other is girnd or reshape the shell. these are the possible solutions but you will have to see a good bootfitter to determine which one.
 
i think im going to try getting my boots heat fitted tommorow and see if that helps at all and if not, i will look more into the carving option. also, my dad mentioned that you can actually heat the shell of the boot up with a heat gun and make a wooden wedge where my pressure points are (my ankles) and heat the shell up and have it conform to the wedge so i might try that also.
