Is there a difference between the "ski" and "walk" settings on ski boots? If so, what is the difference?

You use the "ski" setting for skiing and the "walk" setting for walking. I'm not too sure what else you would use each for.

The walk setting is softer. Boots that have those though are usually really soft to begin with anyway, and are usually for the weekend warrior gaper types.

"walk" lets you flex the boots more so that you don't have as much of that awkward swagger we usually do. don't ski with it set to "walk."

pretty sure the difference is negligible.  my friend sometimes accidentally skis with one on ski and one on walk, and he doesn't notice it
