im talkin boots here. i have salomon foils which i know are a good boot, but i have oddly shaped feet and the boots dont perform that well for me. my freind is starting skiing and will buy these boots in which case ill have enough money to get spk boots (or some other boot). i keep it simple and only do park and powder. will the spk boots be able to perform for both these types of skiing, or should i get my foils adjusted by a professional, or get a different boot altogether? advice please!

go to a bootfitter, if you don't have footbeds yet that will probably be the first thing the bootfitter does

$30 and my SPK's felt incredible after being really painful for the first 10 days

there is so much that they can do to the boots to make them feel better, don't buy new ones yet

Foil's made for all-mountain riipping.. go to a bootfitters, it'll save you money and it will perform like it shuold... cost you less than buyin a new pair of boots and finding out they don't fit you either.. haha

spk is really good it just gets cold really easy since its thin and light.
