i dont like the way the look. aliens probably live in them, and by the looks of their spaceship, they have the capabilities to really mess up your feet.

they're a soft boot and structurally look like my salomon boots that are the softest and best boots in existence...i say get them....or be cool and get what i have. i have no desire to get anything different after skiing with my verse boots. soft, never any ankle or foot problems...

soft boots are worthless. unless you weight 23 pounds and keep your speed below 15 miles an hour, don't even bother. they completely collapse under any sort of load. buy a park specific boot if you want something softer, such as the salomon foil or the technica burn. plus they have laces. you don't wanna look like a 55 year old woman do you?

no you just have to go to a boot specific shop and thell tell you if there stiff enuf for you

soft boots are pretty much made for lighter people, not only fat old tourists, if your light they should perform the same as your normal boot but more comfortable

try them on! thats all you can do. they probably will have a softer flex and feel pretty cozy i'd personally be worried that they are too soft but thats a personal choice so go to a shop and try them on and see what they feel like

its really not that much of a difference. they dont collapse. even in powder and cliffs out west they hold fine.
