Hi, I am looking at getting some ski boots for this season because mine that I one currently don’t fit me. I am looking at 3 Options either the Dalbello Krypton/Rampage (that is what they are called in the reviews section), Solomon SPK, or the Rosi Scratch boot. I am 5-7, I weigh about 130, and I generally ski park in Ontario, some groomers, and a small percentage of pow in BC but what I am mainly looking for is a very soft park boot that will be warm as well.

Thanks for your time

i rock some spks, they're sick. pretty good blend of park/all mountain if you ask me. I only ski maybe 30% out of park though, so if you really charge you might be disappointed, but if you want an ill park boot that will be tons of fun skiin down to the park the spk is good shit. and it isn't nearly was wide fitting as people seem to think.

The SPK is pretty much the widest boot on the market just now, and the Krypton is the narrowest. Try them on, don't risk anything.

he isnt reccomending anything. he is merely stating his preference and his expierience with his boots.

to the thread poster:

it seems that u dont know very much about boot fits and u should prob go to a shop to atleast try them on (whatever models they have htere) and then u can try to buy online 9or wherever you chose).

well, i missed that, and im sorry


but if want to analyze his statement, he is merely stating that in his own preference he would go salomon.

perhaps if he sai "if i were you i would go salomon..." then by all meas that would be a reccomendation. besides, salomons makes a number of boots witha  variety of different fits. so im sure if tha was only choice he could find a bioot that would work very well for him.

no, i havent, it does look really nice tho, and i have only heard really good things about the boot. its supposedly one of the best fitting "out-of-the-box" boot to date. plus throw in the different ways u can customize it, its all good!!
