it designed for park, but im sure you could ski it everywhere else just fine. i dont think boots really make a ton of difference in your skiing unless your a racer

Not so fast. Boots are probally the most important part of your skiing. IF you dont take my word for it, go to a shop thats got certifications out the ass for boots and talk to them.

I agree, you have to know what you need and either try shit out or talk to a pimp ass, if near Boulder Colorado go to Boulder ski deals and talk to Greg, he taught me all about my own feet and was only dude who could help me get over bad shin spots. Sorry always meant to pitch that guy.

***ATTENTION IDIOTS!***
If you don't know what you're talking about, please stop replying to threads in here! The SPK boot is, according to pros who have been riding it all this year, unexpectedly, NOT all that soft. So stop influencing peoples' buying decisions when you're really just trying to look like you know what you're talking about! Please!
(That said if you're only going to get one pair of boots it should probably be something more all mountain oriented with 4 buckles, I think...)

the spks have a flex rating of 92 or something around there, so their not as soft as you think

Any one else have any legit info ie. heard from someone whos skied in them a bit not just assumptions; they sound awesome and unless someone tells me they wil absolutely suck for varied terrain im gonna get them, i hate bruised feet.
