K2 Revolve or Dalbello Cabrio?

In my quest for finding a boot easy to get in and out of, I’ve finally tried on two models that I thought might help me. I began with the K2 Resolve, a re-incarnation of the old Raichle Flexon, now marketed under the K2 brand and that seems to be popular with the teenagers gravitating around the snow-parks. Perhaps was I subconsciously hoping to rejuvenate myself in the process? 

That might have been possible, but I also quickly found out that passing the cables and closing the buckles around that forward-pivoting plastic tongue required some time and dexterity that I wasn’t willing to provide. 

I then tried its cousin, the Dalbello Cabrio, with a similar forward-articulated tongue, and found it to be almost as difficult to close as the K2, and in addition the fit around my ankles felt terrible. In spite of Marty’s patient efforts at Jan’s, I wasn’t convinced. 

So I was quickly back to square one with few alternatives like the Nordica “mid-entry” HF series or returning to an overlap boot like mine, but if at all possible, easier to put and take off. I’ll keep you apprised of where my continued search takes me...
