yeah not until next season, and if you are just gonna get the regular spk get this years for cheaper. there won't be much of a difference.

the only reason you get shin bang is because your boots dont fit properly

i dunno im in nordica beast 10s now and they dont flex much at all, its killer on the shins and the ankles. I was thinkin the softer spk and a booster strap.

yeah dude softer boots usually means less shin bang cause they move with your leg instead of staying in one place and your shins pressing hard against them

I'm ordering some online, and i found a pair for pretty cheap, but they're the same size as my normal boots. I've heard that getting a smaller size is recommended, but i don't have anywhere near me to try them on and the only size i can get is 28.5. Anyone who has used the boots for a season, please let me know how much they pack out. I only ski 30-40 days a season, so do you thinks these are good boots for me?

if you woulda read before you bought you would know that they pack out a whole size so you shoulda gone smaller than what you have now
