the 1080 boots are reasonably priced and designed for landing big jumps and specific features for park riders. They have a nice rubber pad on the bottom of the insole for landings....etc. Lots of little things like that. I have the 1080 Pros (a bit stiffer) that I love.

Rossi softs, thats what is soft, and good lateral, but such good switch obsorbtion, and just enough support to give you AMAZING shock absorbtion to the bumps while you piss on the bus it o the hill, i didnt miss once!

if you want a good all around boot, go with nordica. yes, they are a bit of cash, but soooo worth it. they are the most comfy boots i've ever been in.

i'm in last year's rossi soft 1. very comfy boot with good shock absorbtion and way better control than the name makes you think. a little heavy but i think this year's are lighter

I am not doing the grabs because I am getting a thrill out of touching my ski-JP Auclair

i'll have to agree with bob there. the rossi softs are a very good boot. they are pretty rigid, not to soft, but not too hard. and they fit most foot shapes.

---but if you don't like those, go nordica.

I've got last years 1080's and they are pretty nice, liteweight and good flex, but not very comfortable. I tried on a pair of the Beast boots (nordica) and they felt awsome, but i havent ridden them yet. I have also heard good things from a friend who has the salomon verse soft boots. Overall i would recommend the 1080's, mostly because its the best deal cash-wise, and performs well.

jibmaster, the salomon verse is their very low end recreational boot. it's made so my mom is comfortable while she makes her snowplow.

Im a Technica Fan....cause they always fit my feet really well... I have the Icon series which is a great boot i think.

i have a pair of Salomon X-wave 10's. theyre salomons top end freeride boot. not desined for park, but they work good considering you can adjust the flex and a million other parts to make em as soft as you want. the best boot iv'e ever owned. they perform amazing in all conditions. a bit pricey at 675$ though..

Salomon Pro Model are awesome, better liner but a little narrower than the 1080, the stiffness gives better control

I got fat feet so I can't fit into the 1080s or the Pocket Rocket boots... But the X-Wave 10sa are amazing... Leave the hard base boot plate in and screws in the side for riping or take the screws out to soften them up for park adn put in the soft boot plate (they come with two) The soft boot plate is the same as in the 1080s... they are a ton of cash but fucking awesome

i love my x-wave 10s! anyone know how to lower the back on those?

they're definately not made for park riding but the flex enough for park and are still stiff enough for me to race skiercross in!
