 Poster: A snowHead
|
In March 07 I bought a pair of these in VdI. Their colour is black with grey tongue and the buckles are a yellowish light-orange, they have a Trufit Ceramic liner.
I had a look on the Dalbello website and there this model has dark-orange buckles.
I am now wondering whether they sold me an old model from 05/06. I really do not care about the colour scheme of the buckles but I read somewhere that the liner was a weak point on older models and has been significantly upgraded in the 06/07 model.
Could someone please confirm what model/liner I have.
Also, is it worth upgrading to the ID Thermo liner?
Cheers.

snowman, 2004/05, Yes the I.D. liner makes a huge difference.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

SZK, thanks for your help. Can you please have a look at this photo of my boot, just to be sure as I want to go back to the shop next season and get them to upgrade me to the ID liner. Any ideas what kind of "monetary compensation" I should ask them for for selling me an old stock boot.

snowman, Yep thats the first model from 2004/5. Why would you want any money back, it's the same boot. We dont change prices year on year for graphic or colour change. Vanity is insanity!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

As I understand it, the stock liner was a weak point in the older models and has been significantly upgraded in 2006/07....so paying full price for these (in March 2007!) I should get the latest liner. I actually asked them if this was the current model which they confirmed! I really like the flex of the Dalbello so I do want to keep them but I want the better liner....I think, the very least they can do now is to give me a credit(I have no idea how much?) for the old-stock liner I have now and then I will buy the new ID liner.

snowman, The Cross is still available with both standard and I.D. silver liners. The I.D. version being a more expensive option. However if you have been told that the boot was 06/07 model, then that's clearly false. I'd suggest a calm approach if you are wanting a credit or advantageous outcome.
