Hi. I am looking for advice on what boots I should get. I’m down between the dalbello panterra’s and the full tilt B&E pro. I have a wider foot and that’s why I’m down between these two different 3 piece boots. I have tried on the Dalbello panterras and I can say I loved them without a doubt. However I have a friend who can get me this model of the full tilt boots for roughly $120 cheaper and I Can’t decide between them. I wouldn’t be able to get the Dalbellos until late December or early January too. I haven’t tried on the full tilts but I can buy them online and return them and have a great idea of what fit I would be based off of the dalbellos. Any advice from people with experience from one of these boots? Which boot would be better for a pretty average skier who usually skiis on piste
 
As always go see a boot fitter if you can as your foot is ultimately gonna decide which it likes more. Panterra is the more powerful of the two, also gives you the walk mode and has an adjustable last from 100mm-102mm. Panterra is stiffer, has a more forward lean angle also has a higher ramp angle in the bottom of the boot. So if you like a more forward stance than roll with the Panterra and if you like a more upright feel than go with the B&E. Panterra also has a more defined heel pocket. Whereas the B&E is softer, has a cleaner flex pattern and is more upright. From a boot fitting standpoint there's a lot more adjustability and room to work in the Panterra. Also, if you're looking at a wider three piece boot you may wanna at least try the Dalbello Krypton AX 100 or 120, these guys are only 100mm last but they have a heat moldable shell that can easily accommodate a 102mm, they're much similar to the B&E than the Panterra, in terms of flex pattern, forward lean, ramp angle and instep volume. Go try on the Krypton AX 100 or 120s, compare them to the Panterras, then if you can't try the B&E on given your situation I'd say buy the Full Tilt's try em on and if the Dalbello's feel better than return the Full Tilts. Also the Panterra runs a lil long for it's size in the length so the size that's right in the Panterra may not be right in the B&E.
 
I ride Full Tilt B&E’s and I love them especially if ur gonna be riding a lot of park because they’re really soft. Never tried the Dalbello’s so I can’t speak much ab them.
 
Awesome thanks for the help
