SPK or Kryton Pro?

I'm looking for boots for next season possibly to finish out this season. Depending on how much longer my current boots last. I've heard that the SPK runs a little wide but nothing about the Krypton Pro. I have a men's 8.5 to 9 foot if anyone would like to sell/trade (pm me) or just give me some input on what to buy.

Buy whatever fits and feels the best. Boots are one of the most imporant parts of your ski equiptment.

try them on. try them on. try them on.

the spk is wide, the krypton is pretty narrow. although they are both geared toward the same type of skier (for the most part) they feel completely different. I'd say the krypton is a better all mt skiing boot than the spk too. in the end it doesnt matter what any person on this site says, it matters what feels good on YOUR foot, so do yourself a favor and go to a decent shop and try on some boots.

Those boots are incomparable. There is no way that both would fit the same foot - they are 8mm different in width and the flex is completely different too.

You need to get fitted properly
