so ive got some foils that frankly are a comfortable boot but they feel terrible when im skiing and are a bit big on my feet, i wanna get a pair of new boots that can still flex like the foils but cut shin bang and stop the pressure points the buckels make i been saving money for a new pair of skis all summer so i can spend up to six hundred i only ski park, groomers and ice so whats a good boot.

ps i already searched the searchbar and nothing came up DONT BE A TOOL!!!!!!!!!

Boots are as important as the skis for your skiing. With your 600$ you should be able to buy a new pair of skis and boots. You should take a look at the Salomon Kreation that are pretty cheap and comfy(250US or 300 CAD) and the line afterbangs will give you also a crazy good bang for the buck. Anyways, for park only, you shouldnt invest in a 600$ pair of skis, they're not worth it in my opinion.

wait so $600 for boots or $600 for skis and boots total?

I would look at the SPK series. The Kreation, it has the lowest flex of all of their boots (90). But go to a store and try them on and if you can find one, go to a boot fitter and tell them what you're looking for.

Salomon SPK Kreation if you have a fairly wide foot, if you have a narrower foot, Fulltilt if for sure the way to go. Look at Booster straps as well, heard they work magic to stop shin bang.

if you can fit in the Full Tilts are boss, but I assumed since you said your feet hurt in Salomons they wouldn't fit in Full Tilts, but you can always try them on (assuming there's a shop near you).
