Weight of boots for various companies

we all know that full tilts and spk's are the lightest/most desirable boots.

unfourtunatly, my foot is too wide for the FT and my shop is sold out of all SPK models(through our employe discount program thing.)

but do other companies have light weight options?? because we have the nordica ace of spades and dead money in our store...and they seem to be signifigantly heavier. I am also questionable about atomic volts or overloads.

are there any other boots that can even compare to the weight of FT's and SPKs?

basicly i just want a light boot that wont make it difficult to do simple jibbing things...

I have atomic live fit 120s (same shell as the overload) and they are on the lighter side. But really don't worry about weight, worst case scenario your legs get stronger.

hahaha yeah i know...my boots now are pretty heavy.

i just want to have a little more ease of popping. i find it really difficult to do little nollie like things with my boots. i feel like lighterboots would help with alot of things... rotations, gripping the rail, switch ups, and grabs would all be so much more controlable.

Dalbello Voodoo's man, i just bought a pair for like 350, they are the most comfortable boot i have ever put on and they have a heat mold liner,  They are super light, not sure if they are lighter then the two mentioned above but i would say that they would definately be up there, but yea i'd check out Nordica and dalbello among some other brands as well

My Head Mojo XP's are pretty heavy too, but I think some of the extra weight in some of the higher end heavier boots is from more durable/better parts, like metal buckles, rubber boot boards etc.
