Ok so ive decided Im getting boots this year Im looking for a boot that is
comfortable enough to wear for 10-12 hours days That will be forgiving in
the park and that have enough response to snap into my carving skis, and
again comfortable to be carying little kids around the bunny hill (im an
instructor) and I want to spend around $400 maybe $500
So what do you recomend

the dalbello rampage if you want a 110 flex but if you want 100flex an fit into a 27.5 then go with the jakk
the jakk will be cheaper and a tiny bit softer. both are capable of being used with race skis, but are great with every thing ellse, very comfortable, i used mine this summer working for a racecamp seting saltin and sliping. and i got my jakks for 270, i think retail is 400

depends on your foot, go to a bootfitter! online help will be no good unless you know the specifics of the boot that fits your foot.

it depends on ur foot, but im also lookin for somthing around the same use as you. i think im gonna go with the 100 flex. i feel like the 110 will be a bit too stiff in the park, IMO. once you know around what flex index you want, and a bootfitter see's ur foot, he'l show u the options.

you realize that you're asking a bunch of people that know very little about actual bootfitting.

look at it this way, it's not a bootfitter's job to make you buy a boot that's above your ability. their job is to put you in the right boot not the most expensive boot. it's impossible to recomend a boot over the internet. go to a good bootfitter

the rampage has an 80 to 110 flex, depending on what accessories you put in/on them.

If you get a chance, try on some full tilt's.

Supposed to be really light, flexy and no shinbang.
