    Greg McCandless's review

    The Lupo AX was an absolutely beloved boot that Dalbello no longer offers (well, it is now the Cabrio Free Lite), so snatch these up, even if they are no longer on sale! These have tech inserts for pin bindings/touring, a tour/walk mode latch that offers great range of motion, and a strong 100 flex so they can serve as pro-level freeride or resort boots for advanced and expert ladies who occasionally tour or who enjoy "sidecountry" skiing out of bounds.
