I race slalom and go in the park. I'm probly gonna buy some new boots for next year. Is there too much of a difference between race boots and park boots to find a compromise?

just find a boot that fits you well and you should be happy anywhere

I did competitive racing sl and dh in foil boots at the tightest setting. It was comfy and kinda sick. But, if you want to spend more money get technica boots.

Look for something around a 100 flex index. I raced and do freeride/park with Salomon Xwave 9s. But keep in mind I weigh 155. They seem to be just the right stiffness for everything.

ok this is great info if he had the same foot as you but never take advice on what kind of boot you should get, not flaming you, you were only trying to help, but try on every single boot that has around 100-110 flex now make sure you try all of them on to ensure that you find the right fit, then bring them to a boot fitter and get them custom done so they fix exactly
