You don't need ghosts or 09 spk pro models.

That's all I'll say.  I'll leave it to someone else for interpretation.

If cost is not an issue. go to a bootfitter. It will be worth your time and money. I can't suggest any boots with out knowing anything about your footshape/lower leg. and Ghosts and SPK pros are very different boots.

I don't know toronto area bootfitters. and know a boot fitter is not just a shop, it's a person who knows what they are doing, instead of just putting you in a boot, they will find the boot that works the best for your foot, and your skiing ability, then customize the boot as necesary to make it perfect for you.

A quick search and I found rec. for boot fitters in Tremblant. Go to either Daniel Lachance or Max Ski service. At Daniels make an appt. with Ken. at Max's make an appointment with Martin.


keep in mind this info is a couple years old, thye may have moved on, but most bootfitters will stay with a store.  Both of these guys have been world cup bootfittes, so you know they are good.

spk pro model equals = no pressure points, more comfortable than shoes, more comfortable then memory foam, more comfortable than having two stumps for legs and not even being able to wear footwear
