I got a cheap pair of boots at the beginging of the season and just expected to use them through the year, but to make it short they are not working out. I did use the searchbar and checked the results but nothing really helped me. So i have a somewhat wide foot and ski 85% park, i know boots are all about opinion but what do you like or think would work for me.

Go to a shop and let them take you through it, please don't take advice from recomendations on the internet. You've already wasted money on a pair of unsuitable boots so why do it again?

Yeah man, go to your best local shop. Boots are not the place to save money, i learned the hard way as well.

put plastic bags over your feet before you put them in your boot. Your feet wont get wet and they will be nice and toasty.

Get either the spks or foils..rampages are narrow and you said you had a wide foot....the spks tend to keep my heal down alot better than the foils...which i tore ligaments in my ankle from because of the heel...I would look into the SPK and the Scratch boot from Rossi

That's the best idea I've ever heard.  I actually ski in a full plastic suit including a bag over my head and it works great!
