Which boot do you use?

What boots do you use? The challenge is to find a boot that is comfortable when landing but still gives you enough control while riding. Please tell me your experiences.

I have the Lange Banshee 9....but I will be buying a Salomon 1080 or x-wave next time around. The Lange just isn't very comfortable for long days.

x-wave 10.0! awsome boot! enough flex and movement for landing but also stiff enough for all mountain ripping and even racing!

crossmax 10 comp. Basically the xwave 10, just stiffer then the pro. Custom footbeds and shit like that. Very good boot. Flexible enough to not blow in the park, but ultra responsive everywhere else

Salomon 1080. Kicks ass all around. A little more flex than my last pair of Salomons but very comfortable. I wish I would have gotten the pro models because they're just a little bit stiffer which would suit me better for all-mountain riding as opposed to mostly park riding.

Last year I skiied technica rivalx9 awesome boot which I happen to be selling cause they are too small if interested message me. But now I ski 1080 pros which are slightly better in the park but dont compare out of the park to the rival's obviously. The differene between the two is the 1080's are slightly softer and seem to make me stand more straight up for the technicas almost put me in a forward attack position which was cool for bumps. But after years of bump skiing I need a soft boot cause my shins are beat from shin bang. So all you who suffer from shin bang get some 1080's and those of you who dont buyu my boots!

Rossignol Soft 2. surprisingly good for all mountain skiing, and amazing for park. completley eliminates shin bang

i too just got the new 1080s. wide enough footbed, but the shin area is too tight... i will break them in though.
