so when i finally tried on some spk's, i found myself suprised at how they feeled. i was expecting to step into a mushy, low performance feeling boot. it actually felt like a similar flex to my old technica diablo flames. i am just i know it will be good for park but will it perform for real skiing??? pow, bumps, trees, etc.??? cause i take a couple west trips a year just wondering if it will be ok.

yea they basically suck balls outside of the park you'd have to be crazy to take them anywhere besides pleasant valley or out of the city.

but in all seriousness they're good for flexing in the basement

yea i agree with how u go about getting boots, i have done the same for years. i had a long talk with a trusted fitter and i decided to get them cause most of my skiing is icy east coast jumps and rails and i am sick of my shins and heels kiiling me after a day of skiing. just wondering when i do decide to ski elsewhere how they will hold up. thanks.

you will be fine, they aren't that much different. They are geared for the park. Don't expect to have responsiveness on a FIS certified Super G like a plug boot will though.

im a little worried because i have mad room around my toes but the tip of my toes touches the boot and my ankle and the rest of my foot is secure. i know they have a fat toe box but my toes are swimming, other than that they are like slippers
