The Dalbello DS 120 is an alpine ski boot built for skiers who want a responsive, performance-oriented fit without compromising on everyday comfort. With a medium-volume shell and a flex rating designed for strong, controlled turns, it’s aimed at those who push their skiing to the next level.
Featuring a 100 mm last, the DS 120 strikes a balance between snug support and enough room to ward off pressure points during long days on the hill. The medium volume shell accommodates a range of foot shapes, while the 120-flex rating delivers ample forward resistance for quick edge-to-edge transitions and solid feedback at higher speeds. At just under two kilograms per boot, it manages to offer responsive performance without feeling overly bulky underfoot.

The 100 mm last refers to the width across the forefoot; this medium width provides a stable platform for carving while still allowing enough space for the toes. Together, these specs define how the DS 120 behaves on snow, blending support with comfort for all-day outings.
