i like my xwave 8's. they're stiff enough that i can still carve fairly hard and soft enough that i don't get wicked shin bang

whatever fits your foot and has a flex you like, theres no "best boot", the "best boot" is whatever fits your foot the best. Langes = narrow, technicas = fairly narrow, atomic= wide, salomon= mid fit, exc.

I just got some atomic 11's and I fucking love them to death, but they are a bit stiff for park only and for girly men.

exacly just try them at your local shop.
I love the Lange but some people foot don't fit well in those. So just go to the shop and try them.

langes are cold as fuck. technica is pretty narrow. ive never skied dalbello, atomic boots SUCK, i have permanent bone spurs on each foot from those fuckers. salomons are sposed to be nice. i ride dolomoites, they are the most comfortable boot EVER. widest toe box on the market.

Get what fits you and you cant really go wrong. different boots have different shapes find the one thats right for you but in my opinion 1080s are so comfortable

My favorites are the Salomon sensitive 6 and 7.0 boots. Quite splendid boots actually.

you ignorant shmuck the head boots kill the 1080's. I've skied my new Mojo boots in ways my old 1080's only dreamed of. Way better heal hold than any other brand beside lange, and wide enough for the masses unlike Lange.

I've been professionally boot fitting for 6 years and I've sold more head boots this year than Nordicas, langes, salomons and technicas and my store has sold nearly 1000 pairs of boots this season.

Owned.

I love my atomics, lots of cool features and my heel is straight up locked in the box I can't even budge it, I ski on dolomites before this and I will give you the fact that they are comfortable, but wow soft and loose, shitty fucking performance. I'd rather have performance than comfortable feet, I don't stand around hiking rails in the park and acting tough in front of 12 year olds all day.

my mojos rock the stiff setting is close to a race boot and perfect for all mountain and the soft setting gives them great flexx for forgiveness in the park

Back to the beginning.. Whatever best fits your foot.. I mean come on, Do you want to look really cool, or feel really good? Any progressive shop with a boot tech who really rides will put you in the right boot for the shape and movement of your foot.. The boot's the platform you perform on, Get the right one.

You'll ride better in a properly fitted boot on a 2 X 4 than in a shitty boot on the best twin tip out there.

I'd opt for the 1080's cause they are so comfortable. I had some really shitty boots last year soloman performa 4.0's they sucked so bad and my 1080's are so much better I didnt think they would be but they are night and day.

i've skied both the technica diablo fires and the 1080's, i love my technica's for all mountain skiing, but 1080's are very soft so more forgiving for park. i wouldn't recomend those atomics with the toe and heel platforms though- my cousin broke a heel jumping with those boots, and apparently it's a regular thing with those boots. i'm very interested to ski the dalbello rampage, but i doubt i'll be able to find them. are they regularly avaliable in shops?
