i ride the agent 80's, they are a really comfy boot but i have problems with them becoming super loose feeling after the first run or two especially on a powder day, i think its because they are really soft.

so basically super comfy, but a little soft flex for my liking.

i looked at both and then went with dalbello raves. after some grinding and footbeds they're the best boot my feet have ever had.

similar forefoot last, but the spk pro is like 100 or 110 flex (vs the agent has an 80 flex or so)

No, they changed the flex from like 70 or something up to 110. They said it was for spring skiing.

I own the Agent 80's and love them i have a narrow foot
i ski mostly all park so i love the flex but my best guess would go to a good bootfiter and see what they say is the best for you

they are super soft, when i went actually skiing this year like carving big turns going fast down the hill i actually thought i broke my boots flexing through them, and to the guy who said he has a narrow foot and his agent 80's fit good, they are wide

I have a pair of Agent 80s. I really like them. I ski a mix of park, tight glades and a few groomers. If they fit, get them. I tried the SPKs but they didn't fit my foot at all

i ride the 80s i loked them for the first year but the second year i got manovee shinbang pads and put Dr. scholes in em and i had shin bang just skiing. it was terrible. if you only plan on skiing them for a year get em. 2 years get the spk's... trust me, once the 80's get packed out you will hate skiing. some days i had to stop skiing after a few hours cause i couldnt take it. i legit had bruises on my shins and the calf pad whatever you wanna call em broke on my left foot from leaning back to far so i couldnt butter cause it was like idk how to explain it. but it hurt haha spks all the way

I have the agents and they are amazing. Pretty soft flex which i love. They are a pretty wide boot but my foot is really wide and needed to get them expanded. They are a great boot and would recommend them.
