Whatever fits you, go try some on at the shop to see what's best for you.

are there any specific boots that are designed for the abuse of park riding? i noticed the 1080's and rossi scratch do not have a top strap and are a softer compound plastic...?

what ever fits your feet is best
there really is no "park specific" they just say it, everything will work as long as its the best fit for your feet

You'll probably want something a bit softer for park, the 1080's are a good boot to look into as long as it fits. Definitely just go to a shop and tell them what you're going to be doing and they should be able to point you in the right direction. I would take a poor-flexing boot that fit me over a good-flexing one that felt like crap ANY day.

i just got some head mojo boots im gonna be taking them out tommorow ill tell u how they feel/ride after that, my foot is wide, as i feel urs probably is since ur 1080 boots were hurting, they have a built in booster strap plus they look sick, they are quite stiff until u take out the too back screws, these screw holes get plugged after removing the bolt, after that it is pretty soft, so i guess tommorow night u will know

o ya there are three different dimensions for boot fit, width of foot, thickness of calf/shin, and with from heel to top of ankle, is ur foot wide or skinny, skinny or thick shins... just tell me how ur feet are in those 3 dimensions

look at what's got a low flex index (maybe around 80). don't let these fools tell you about the 07 boots before anyone knows anything about them.. go try shit on and see what feels good.

ya the mojos are pretty sweet but if ur foot is as wide from heel to top of ankle as mine dont get them it cuts off the circulation and i had to leave the buckle on the bottom of leg undone

rossi is coming out with a new boot, if you don't like salomon try nordica or rossi... I think dalbello and lange fit tigher than salomon...
every company makes a boot that will work good for park, the rossi freeride or new scratch boot, nordica beast series is comfy for me..., salomon 1080 and spk, dalbello krypton and other... I dont know much about technica... lange has some nice boots, I like the fit of the high end head boots... just find what you like. I almost suggest sizing atleast a half size smaller as well. My foot is sized at a 9.5-10 on most charts and I ride an 8.5 boot... hell to break in but once those liners packed out they fit like a glove. If you feel like you can move your foot at all in a new boot I would say its too big. If you can wiggle your toes excessively etc... Once that liner packs out you will be sorry you didnt drop a shell size
