I've noticed that a lot of Pro's are wearing Salomon SPK Pro's lately (with the exception of the pros that already have a boot sponsor). Is it really that good of a boot or is it a just cause everyone's doing it kinda thing? I was just wonder cause I'm looking into getting some new boots next season and I figure I can get new pair of SPK's if I get them in the off season.

thanks for the help, I'll definitely get them fitted before I make a decision, just trying to way out my options even though I have a few months left with my old boots. +karma for those who helped.

ah man i dunno what i would do without my spks... Their sooo comfy and nice i love em. The support in the back feels really nice and the liners and shock absorbers just make everything so much more confortable. I dont get shin bang anymore because i have them

They are an amazing park boot IF they fit your foot. They have everything you'll need in the park, but even if they fit your foot you might have some complaints outside of the park. A good fitting race boot will probably be more fun than a sloppy fitting SPK in the park.

If you don't fit in a SPK there's always other Salomon options that fit good: 1080 foil and my fav which is the GUN.

Flexes and fits are way above anything from Lange.

pro's are good if your doing park and only park, they suck all mountain. Plus koas will be lighter and better for all mountain so if you not as aggressive as pros then go with the koas
