boots that fit your foot, don't let anyone else talk you into a boot that has worst fit but is more park oriented....

i'm riding technica diablos, a mediocre racing boot and i just love those things, i can put a bolt in the back to give it a very stiff flex for charging, and i can remove the bolt and get a ridiculous soft flex for jibbing....

just go try a lot of boots and get the ones that feel like you could wear em all day, you wont regret your choice....

Yup go try as many boots as you need until you find that you fit perfectly in them.

i was thinking about full tilts but they don't sell them in Bulgaria (thats where i live) and im not sure i shoud get them without try them first... Here they dont sell many freestyle oriented boots anyway .. also i dint have any luck with my previous boots which were very cheap lange model and gave me very bad shinbang .. now im not sure how stiff/soft boots i need ...

Well if you're gonna ski mostly park you are better off with a rather soft boot and if you're gonna hit pow and groomers a lot then you can go for a stiffer boot. A stiffer boot will give you more control if you're going fast charging lines or on the groomers.

Yeah I would have to agree with all the comments above. There really isn't a girl specific boot but if you're mainly just wanting to stay in park, go to your local shop and ask them what boot is best for you. I'm sure they'll give you the exact and most perfect boot for your feet.

Flex is the least of your worries. Find a boot that fits - go to a bootfitter. I say this as a bootfitter - GO SEE ONE. They will tell you what you should be feeling and get you in a boot that will make your feet smile (or smell from excessive use, both good things).

Don't feel obligated to buy Full Tilts just because they're all the rage. If you can't try it on, don't buy it - with boots you should always try them on before you buy, or at least have a means of sending them back.
