Hey, what's the difference between the 1080 foil boots and those 1080s that came out a few years ago, like those green ones. Should I just get some new foil boots? Or find some old ones for a deal. Which is better for all mtn and which is better for park, or are they the same?

-The quality of the foil boots liners are better then the green ones.

-The spaceframe wholes in the heel area are in the foils vs the old green ones don't have that. So + on the new foil boots. (fyi: delio on spaceframe is that you get better snowfeel when you are freeriding, skiing allmountain or in the park.

-I'd say if you can afford the new boot vs getting a deal on the older green ones go for the new foil boot.

-1080 boots were 1st true park/pipe and jib boot so either way you'll like which ever boot you go with.

-keep in mind, the most important this about your boots is that they fit!

K cool, thanks. How do the boots handle outside the park? I mean I usually ride park, but you know I don't want it to be shit outside the park.
