i have no clue whether to get all mountain boots or park boots. i do 60% all mountain and 40% park. it sounds like the park ones are much lighter than all-mountains but im scared to get them because a lot of them have 2-3 straps so it would seem like you would be skiing in jello..any comments please post thamks ++K...i didnt feel like searchbaring this shit, sorry

go try them on in store, try on a lot of them and see what feels most comfortable, its more comfort than just going by stiffness because you are in them for a while

I'd just get normal boots with a medium flex, and overall, i'd get whatever fits.

Park boots won't necessarily make you a better park skier

People that say park boots are great over the rest of the mountain either don't ski very hard or they haven't skied in anything outside of SPKs with Invaders
