I'm interested in both boots. I ski about 70% park and 30% mountain. Overall which is a better boot?

they have two different purposes.... have you tried on either, the ghost is a super stiff powerful big money boot.. where as the kaos is much softer and much more oriented to park... i got the ghost for all mtn park, and had to do a lot of work to make it work cuz it was too stiff for park with me being a lighter skier

they wont feel that different in the store, the liner is almost identical, but the width and stiffness is where you will find the difference, the kaos is wider and softer

Kaos is softer and ghost its stiffer, so buy the spk pro, its stiffer then the kaos and softer then the ghost. ( if im right)

Therefore they will feel very different in the store.  There's like a 5-6mm difference in the last width, that's a pretty significant amount.  OP, go try them on.  They fit completely differently.

hahaha dude... If you can fit into a ghost your going to be swimming in a kaos. If your good in a kaos a ghost is going to hurt like a bitch. you will feel the difference night and day.

Go to a bootfitter, and try them both on, and see which one fits your boot better. Check www.surefoot.com and see if there is a shop near you, best boot-fitter in the world, guaranteed.
