The Dalbello Menace is a great boot for the smaller and lighter weight skiers that are still learning to ski, or who have been skiing for a while. The Low Geometry Cuff has been designed specifically for the shorter less powerful legs that your little skier has. The Flex is indexed for the shorter, lighter skier to be able to bend, so they will be able to keep their knees over their toes, so they will be able to wedge, turn, and even carve. A Velcro Power Strap acts as a fifth buckle to give them added leverage, and control. If you are looking for a boot that will give your little skier confidence and control, the Dalbello Menace 4 will be a solid choice.
