        i know that there are many boots out that are good for park. i am buying a new pair of boots soon. i am just unsure about what to buy.

right now i have a pair of tecnica boots that i bought 3 years ago for racing. So, they were stiff when i bought them, now they are kinda softer and worn the F**** out.

any suggestions on a decently priced pair of boots for park. thx

We can list off a bunch of park boots but unless you get bootfitted it won't really matter. Fulltilts are great, but not everyone can fit in them, dalbellos make a solid boot as well. most people will recommend getting fit or at least going to a store to see how comfortable certain brands are.

i'd recommend you don't buy online unless you are certain and know for sure what you want and what fits. i'ts worth the extra bills to just get fitted, you'll feet will thank you in the long run. if it's just park boot models your asking for then here are a few: salomon spk / kaos, dalbello krypton rampage / il moro, full tilt, rossi sas, head mojo, tecnica agents, lange freestyle / banshee (maybe).. among others.

Amplid has a really dope new boot coming out next year. I have a pair coming in the mail in a day or too. Ill post a review when i get them.

They are kind of a hybird between the dalbello and then fulltilt with their own flair thrown in... and the designed it to be able to fit a wide rang of people.

go get fit, get some reccomendations from that said bootfitter, and then if you dont by on the spot, come consult ns on your decision.

yea, i was just tryin to get an idea... so i could look up where i could go and find some different options to chooose from. 

my local shop is about 15 mins from my home, and the next shop that i know about is 45 mins away. i know they carrys tecnica, so that is going to be my first boot try.

Dude.. getting fitted at a shop then buying online is super low... if your bootfitter goes through the process of fitting you and then you just bail and buy online its a waste of their time and yours, especially if you need the boots customized to your feet. It's the worst when people come in and I get them all set up then they say smile and say thanks and walk out and I just know they are buying online. Do yourself a favor and go to a reputable bootfitter, find boots that fit, and buy from that shop.

I think he is probably just going to go try on the boots himself.  Thats what I had to do as there was no possible way of me being able to afford paying full price for boots.  I was lucky enough to get out to a convention and do it, but I don't think theres anything wrong with trying on a bunch of some shop's boots.  Just buy some socks or a pair of gloves or something off them for the trouble.

This is assuming he isn't going to have the bootfitter help him and is just going to see which feels best.
