Dolomite Rage X8 Form Fit Ski Boot 2005

Overall a very good boot that is stiff enough for some nice downhill runs. I find that they can be a bit too stiff if youre just out taking it easy on some easier trails. Very warm and well padded. That being said if you have very wide feet you may have some issues with this boot especially if you dont ski enough to break them in

Not sure I should be reviewing these yet because I got them in early summer and am waiting for snow, but I have tried them on so I can comment on that. Got these to replace some five-year-old Langes, and they're a world different in terms of fit. These are high-volume and very comfortable, although tight enough to give me some solid control. Sizing seems to be accurate - I'm a 28.5 or 29 and the 29 is plenty roomy, probably could've fit in the smaller size. Didn't have any prior experience with Dolomite, but quality seems to be excellent. Moderately stiff forward flex, and the really high cuff seems to accentuate this while remaining comfortable. For the price I can't imagine I could've done better.

I tested these boot recently on bumps, jumps, and cliffs (+/- 18-20ft). These boots are great, certainly for the price, they require a little breaking-in but thast can be helped by the thermoformable liner - just visit your local ski store [...]and get them pressed. The TCS and snug fit makes the boot responsive which is especially handy in rugged terrain. I landed some jumps and small cliffs and it gave a nice cushion. It is good, I imagine, for someone with a medium-slight width foot. Wider than alot of salomons I hear.

Great boot, great price, I have not tested it in the spriong but it might be a tad toasty.

This is the second pair of Dolomite's I've owned. The have great flex and are extreeeeemly comfortable. Never got cold, even at 4 below. I was concerned that the removal of the "45 degree" buckle I had on my Sintesi's would lessen the fit and control of the boot. A waste of thought process...
These things hooked up just fine. Even at high speeds(50+ on the GPS).

i use them alot in the backcountry of Utah out here, love the hight on them, ride them during race training for the lack of ankle movement. Puts movement were needed, restricts were it doesn't. gread boot, warm. fun is the slush, great support for the "drag spot" in the spirng. tends to get warm tho when the sun is on them, really warm. when it's 36 on the slopes with the sun out, that aint to comfortable, but great for night, powder, back country and groomer skiers alike. doesn't do too hot on mougles either (but neither do I).

Based on what I could read and my experience with Dolamite boots I think I will be very satisfied. Unfortunately it is summer and temps are in the high 80's, making it near impossible to tell you first hand how good they react on the snow. Talk to me in December... I'll fill you in.

Love the boots, work great for down hill training because of the stiffness, a little high, but i like em. Great in the trees, the take scratches well. warm, even on cold windy days. good all mountain boot. best ones i've tried so far. probably will keep these for a couple of years. not so hot for instructing, very stiff and ridged. not very flexable, but who wants flexable?
