scratches are made for a larger volume foot. also it didn't fit well around my calf/shin. I must just have skinny legs.
the spks are for a super wide and large volume foot.
kryptons are probably the best for a low volume, narrow foot. Although I would also try on the foil... I am have a really narrow foot and the foil was the best fit for me

Go with the spk's...I tried on every one of these boots at a ski shop and they didnt even compare with the spk's. The kryptons did feel a little tight but it was definately the least padded of the three. The scratch didnt seem to bad, but the looked "cheap." The buckels an the boot strap were small and narrow, but they were decently padded but the toe box felt huge. Now to my boot...the spk. To get started they are so much lighter than the other boots, but the padding in the boot is just rediculous. They felt just as comfortable as my nike shox. The to box is a litte big but it's still snug. Whenever I took the liner out I found a gel insert in the heel that is about an inch thick. To me there was no comparison...THE SPK'S RULE!!!

yeah dude, i went into a store looking for some kryptons but the dude there was like "fuck those boots. they suck. try on the SPK" to which i replied "i could probably break that boot in half....it's only for park." I bought the spk because i tried it on and it was ridiculously awesome: exceeded my expectations in every way. super comfortable and is actually pretty stiff. the quality seems top notch too.

like everyone said it depends on your footshape. even though i have somewhat of a wider foot, I like the krypton rampages. They are a three piece boot, with removable tounge. The amount of customization to this boot is ridiculous. Plus it has the best forward lean and forward flex which makes riding switch so easy. It is still stiff enough laterially (sp?) for any speed you need. I had to do a bit of grinding around the pinky so my foot could fit. Plus I had an intuition liner put in, these things are life.

i think the krypton rampages are a nice fit for a narrow foot, and the liner is comfy, its good if you want to ski park then the next hour decide to ski all mountain
