I was just wondering. Does freestyle boots make a big differnce? I dont think my boots are made for twintip riding. I like to ride park, so should I get a boot thats ment for twintip riding?

just get boots that fit, i got dalbello rampages not just b/c they were "freestyle specific" but because they fit my narrow foot perfect and i liked the ankle buckle. get what you think fits you nothing is worse then a boot that doesnt fit right.

It's all about the combination of fit and flex based on what you're planning on doing. Fit is most important, flex is secondary and everything else is shit.

Just go to a bootfitter....why do people not understand???? SEARCH!!!!!! WTF?!!

I'm not a beliver in "freestyle" boots at all. Get something that fits and has the flex you want. The "special features" of freestyle boots are their colour and "shock absorbers" under the heels - these do very little, I ground mine out of my Langes and they were fine switch on big tables. Get some good footbeds made, they'll do a hell of a lot more for your shock absorbsion than any boot will.
