boots almost never change year to year, them main thing is to find the right fit. go to a shop wiht lots of boots and try lots of them on.

It depends, look at the two models you want, and decide whether new graphics or slight changes are worth the extra cash. I'd say no.

from the very little i've heard of boots aren't changin too much next year. i'm intrigued by two boots though. the salomon spk is doin somethin with leather, don't know if its cosmetic or what. then the most intriguing thing so far is gonna have to be the new boot in the kyrpton series. its going to be one step above the rampage at a price of $500. its called the Il Moro. somethin spanish i think. but basically its the same shell as the rampage. really narrow in the tow box and heel and basically the same stiffness. but the liner is supposedly revolutionary. its based on a snowboard liner. super comfy apparently. maybe not "revolutionary" but still kinda cool. the only bad thing i can think of about it is snowboard boot liners usually break down too quickly because they are a lot cheaper than ski boots. so that could be a negative side. also one bad thing i've seen about the il moro is a ratchet for the top buckle. it was riveted on till my boss mentioned it to the designer that snowboard buckles break easy so they made it replaceable. but still i don't like buckles. those are the only two "new things" coming out for next year. nomensteven might know more

uhh dont waste your money on all mtnish boots if you ride 10% out of the park dude just save your money and look at park oriented boots like mojos, foils/spks, etc. pretty much every boot company has a park/freeride model and they are usually on the cheaper side. go see what shops have on sale from this year and see if any fit you good, nothin that revolutionary comin out next year. there rarely is with boots.
