Hey guys, I've decided that im finally getting the SPK boots. I do not fit good in the Fulltilts so I decided that SPK is the way to go because I want a freestyle boot. When I started looking I realized that dea b loads of different models of the SPK. Witch one should i get if I want a light boot with a lot of flex thats the best for park.
thanks guys +karma for good answers!

They are all designed for park, if you want a light, soft boot go with the Kaos (middle of the line) model, it's lighter and softer than the pro, but will hold your feet and feel better than the Kreation. But, try them on first, and try on other boots too (Full Tilt and SPK aren't the only "park" boots out there).

Ya all of the SPK model line is designed for park. My friend has the SPK pro and isn't very happy with it but I've heard good things about the kaos
Look at the boots from Nordica Ace of Spades boot and Dalbello Krypton

i have the 08 spks pros (the white ones) and it is exactly 99.9% i could have ever wanted in a boot. they fit my feet perfectly and they have a very very soft flex which i like. only prolem is, after 2 years of riding them i feel like they have packed out a bit too much and they sometimes feel loose and sloppy on my feet. id deff say go with the pros if you wanted a super soft park boot. and i think they look fuckin illlllllllllllllllllll

I picked the pro model instead of the kaos, just because they fitted me better but don´t know why. But anyway they are the best boot i ever had, and I don´t think i need to change them soon. But go with those boots that feel the best on you.

I have the Pros and have meixed feelings about them... I cant really get my heel to stay down which is extremely annoying when I ski outside of the park(the only time i really notice it).  I got a blister from my heel moving when I was skiing everyday in colorado.  All in all i like them just make sure the boot is for you

make sure they fit!
just because you don't fit full tilt doesn't mean you fill fit in SPK's
Go to a bootfitter

so guys I went to the shops 2day. The ghosts are waaaaaaaaaaay heavier and almost 2x as pricey I tried the new SPK kaos and they fit amazing. so i got em. THey were nice prize and fit much better than the fulltilts. they have a really nice rubber thing on the front to prevent toebang witch i noticed right away. the only bad thing is that they feal a bit bulky but I love em!
thanks for all the advice guys
