get the spk if you have the dough, the 1080 boots are pretty sweet, fairly soft, but if you dont have a wide foot you may have problems with a roomy fit

as far as freeride boots out of the salomon line go, here's some info:

1080 Foil boot: same as the x-wave 6 but with a rubberized bootboard and the custom fit liner, high volume fit

Falcon Gun boot: same shell as the falcon 10, stiff, next generation spaceframe, narrow fitting

when it comes to boots, dont worry about how they look dude, just get a boot that fits like a glove and performs the way you want it to.

no, its the same as the x-wave 7, b/c the flex index on the 1080 is 85, while the flex index on the xwave 6 is 75. but other than that they are the same.

i got them, i have only used them in a few railjams so far but they seem really nice, i have a kinda narrow foot so i had to buy the $30 foot bed too, no big deal and its so worth it, feels amazing
