I was just wanting to know what boots i should got this summer. I go on all types of terrain and in the park as well so would want an all mountain boot. What boots would be best to suit my type of skiing or could you recommend a way for me to find out?
Cheers,
Jamie

Well since how a boot fits apparently doesn't mean anything to you, obviously you should get SPK's because they look cool and are meant for park. Duh

He didn't ask for if a specific boot would fit his foot, he asked for models that are suited for his type of riding. I know shit all about boots, thats why im not suggesting anything, but theres nothing wrong with him being an informed consumer. And if your gonna post like a douche, at least make it funny.

Flex is probably the most important factor.
For park, people generally want something super soft.
For an all-mountain boot, something with a medium flex is a good idea.
If the boot is too soft, you will flex through it when trying to hold a hard turn, if it's too stiff, then you will definitely know about it in the park.
As far as particular boots go, get the one that fits.
It's hard to give an indicative flex rating too, as there isn't really an international flex scale (boot companies differ in how they rate flex)..
Plus, it depends on how heavy/aggressive you are, which we don't know.
A good bootfitter will get you into a boot which fits right and is the right flex for your needs.
Get custom footbeds too. You definitely won't regret that.
