I was just wondering what the pros and cons is for a soft boot compared to a hard one when skiing park mainly.

P.s I used the seach funktion but didn't find anything, so please dont freak out on me :)

should be the same with snowboard boots

Soft:
Less responsive
More forgiving
Easier to flex

Hard:
Responsive
Less forgiving


soft is recommended more for parkish riding but its all preference on what fits you best

you want the plastic tongue to be firm but the insole should be thick and soft for 00000 shin bangers

When you are charging, the soft boots really suck but aren't impossible to handle.  In the park they are amazing and comfortable, and most other places they do well.  Both my boots are fairly soft.
