Replying to Another SPK vs Foil boot thread....
I know I'm beating a dead horse here, but I was going back and forth between these two boots. Honestly, I thought the foil was more comfortable, but maybe that's just because it fits more like a traditional boot. The SPK certainly holds my heel in place, but it's just such a different fit form every other boot, including Salomon's.
I got the SPKs (for a solid $349). The foils were just WAY too soft, they seriously felt like mush. I've never tried on a softer flexing boot than that. I don't know how Salomon can claim that those two boots have the same flex. Anyone actually skied both of these boots? Thoughts?
