Only if they fit your feet. Go to a bootfitter homie, and you and your feet will thank me and the rest of NS that will tell you the same thing.

Those boots have to be pretty soft. My 120's feel to soft some times, I can't imagine how 80's feel. If you plan to do anything outside of the park, you might want to get something stiffer.

thats a dick move. go to a shop with a good bootfitter and get FITTED, theyres more ti it than size, theyres a lot that a good bootfitter can do. get them uncomfortably tight. and in my opinion 80 is too soft, i ski 130 flex race boots and theyre about perfect.

It's not a dick move. A lot of people take forever to try and find a boot, and they go from shop to shop just trying on boots, and don't buy something. Not everyone that goes and try on boots will buy something, and bootfitters know that.

It is a dick move. If someone comes into my shop and asks to try on a specific boot in a specific size I tell them no.
