The Dalbello DS 90 W GW is a ski boot designed to give recreational and intermediate skiers a supportive fit and reliable control on groomed runs. Its mid-volume profile and moderate flex make it versatile for a range of skiing styles without overwhelming less aggressive riders.
This boot features a 99 mm last, offering a stable platform underfoot while still allowing some room for natural foot shape. The flex rating of 90 provides a balance between responsiveness and comfort, so you can steer with confidence without feeling overly locked in.
