Does anyone know if the spk boots pack out? and if they do do they pack out alot? I tried a bunch of boots on, and the boot fits my foot well, but i just wanna know if i should get a half or full size smaller, so if it does pack out, it will still fit my foot good. Thanks.

i do work in a shop, my boss is the bootfitter at our place. And he hasn;t been there when i have been working, so i couldn;t really ask him these questions. Hes a huge burnout too, so i dunno if he would know all of this stuff about the SPK boots.

I can actually help on this one.

I wear a 27.5 Foil, and it fits well. Today, I tried on a 26.5 SPK Kaos, and it fit the same as my foils. I then tried on a 27.0 Kreation, and it fit the same. Hope that helps. On SPK's I went a full size smaller, on Kreations, I went a half size.

hahahah ZOMGZ!!! soo funnyyyyyyy, i know what boot i need, but i wanna make sure before i buy the size, if the boot packs out alot or not, its a logically question, that even people who work at a shop would ask. Not everyone who works in a shop knows everything about every ski product. Stop being such a smartass grow up.

I found the kreations to be a bit narrower, and a bit flexier. I would buy either if I needed new boots, but my foils are still going strong!

kaos have a 95 flex rating and the kreations have an 85, the kao's are a little bit stiffer.
