broke a cable a couple weeks ago need some new boots. I'v been lookin online and at some stores and i have found 3 that i like.
The Salomon SPK i really like because it has a soft toe. its super comfertable i like the two strap disaign.


The Full tilt high five. Love the way they fit and love how i can interchange the tounges.

The Tecina agent 80. love the disign and the fit.

i love the way all of these boots fit. i would like some feed back on these boots.+K to all

go to a bootfitter/your local shop, and try on the boots in question/get fit by a professional
buy the boot that fits the best

from what i read, he's tried them on.

Fulltilts are a bit overrated, they're narrow and dont offer much support.

SPK's are good, but they tend to pack out a size

Agents, well ive never worn them but ive heard good things, i hear they're also pretty light.

overall, i'd go SPK, but it comes down to what fits best, though I usually prefer a lighter boot.

those are all very very different boots, i would be amazed and madly jealous if he fit well in all of those boots.
Even if you have tried them on i would talk to a bootfitter

yeah it doesnt make ANY sense that these 3 boots all fit ur foot. They all fit totally different, and "liking the design" dont even tihnk about the design when choosing boots, hell ur pants cover ur boots anyways.

yeah, i agree. they are all very different for sure.

i ride agents. they are great boots. but they arent as park specific, more all mountain.
full tilts are hyped up, but if they fit then go for it.
i've tried the SPKs, they felt like snowboard boots. they gave me no support, i had no how idea how anyone could ski in them

hmmm correct me if I'm mistaken, but doesn't extra room in boots mean the boot doesn't fit?
