Dalbello 2019 Shoes: New LUPO AIR and DS ASOLO FACTORY - AlpinStore Guide

Presentation of the 2019 - 2020 new Dalbello shoes: LUPO AIR and DS ASOLO FACTORY

Are you looking for reliable Dalbello 2019 shoes to push your mountain sessions further? Here, we tell you what the LUPO AIR and DS ASOLO FACTORY are really worth, tested and proven by the AlpinStore team. No commercial talk: we tell you why these models change the game, how they lighten the ascent, maintain control on the descent, and hold up over time.

The Lupo range returns with two versions designed for lightweight adventurers: the LUPO AIR 110 and the LUPO AIR 130. The idea: reduce weight without sacrificing stiffness and comfort. Dalbello has worked on the micro-bubble grilamid shell to maintain serious thermal insulation while gaining precious grams when you walk towards the ridge.

At AlpinStore, we know that alpine ski equipment starts with the shoe: it must transmit power, protect, and remain comfortable. The LUPO AIR uses a retention system that replaces the classic tongue, blocking the flex at the back of the shell and offering a stable wrap during the run. Result: you keep a performance shoe both on the ascent and descent.

The dynalink mechanism around the instep, with integrated cable, and the tibial hook accessible through the pants make the ski/walk switch super simple. You switch from ski mode to walk mode in one motion. For those who also want to buy climbing and après-ski shoes, the LUPO AIR offers rare versatility: lightweight for hiking, solid for approach, and comfortable at the hut.

The DS ASOLO FACTORY embodies performance with a bi-injection power cage construction for optimal power transmission. The liner has been redesigned for a finish close to that of great Italian boot makers: precise hold on 98 mm in metatarsal, possible adjustments, and factory mounting with compatible soles for technical walking.

Here’s a quick overview of the essential, clear, and useful technical sheets to help you choose:

• LUPO AIR 130: everything for lightweight performance.
• LUPO AIR 110: lightness and comfort for long approaches.

The new DS, named DS ASOLO FACTORY for the 2019-2020 season, targets a more demanding audience regarding power and comfort on the descent. Grilamid shell, bi-injection power cage, and 3D grip texture for precise touch: it’s a reworked liner, a stiffer structure, and optimized alignment to transmit your support to the ski without delay.

Do you want a solid selection? We offer you a selection of suitable ski shoes according to your use: committed hiking, chrono on the slopes, or technical freeride. At AlpinStore, we prioritize fit and functionality: that’s what transforms a good shoe into a shoe you take back to the mountains again and again.

To transport your gear, also think about a robust ski shoe bag: it protects the shell, the liner, and makes train or car trips easier. A good bag is often overlooked, yet it prolongs the life of your shoes and avoids unpleasant surprises at the hut.

Maintenance is your best ally to keep performance. We recommend specific ski maintenance equipment: wax, scraper, waxing iron, and basic tools. Regularly maintaining your shoes and skis amortizes your investment and keeps your support precise.

And if you want to refine your hiking outings, precision inclinometers and other measuring instruments help interpret exposure and slope. They are used in conjunction with field observations: essential for groups making thoughtful decisions on outings.

Safety starts with the head and the rest of the body: think about ski helmets from the best brands and a good technical layer to stay warm without overheating. A thoughtful ski clothing collection completes your gear and allows you to chain long ascent and descent days without compromise.

Sincere conclusion: the Dalbello 2019 show a real desire to lighten without sacrificing technicality. LUPO AIR for those who want to gain mobility, DS ASOLO FACTORY for skiers who want power and comfort. If you’re still hesitating, come see us, we test, we fit, we advise directly, like friends on a rope team.

• Why choose these models: lightness, technicality, versatility.
