Hey guys,
So i'm about to get new boots and I'm just wondering how the classics are in park? I ski 95 percent park so i need a boot that's really good for park. Thanks

If you don't want to feel you knuckling anything or hard landings, then go for the hot doggers since they have an inch of rubber in the heel. On tuesday I cased a 55ft jump and landed like 3 feet from the sweet spot on the landing and I felt nothing.

The only differences between the two boots seem to be the liner and the bootboard, and I guess the obvious that they look different... If you really want the Classics, you could just buy a new bootboard and swap it out and it'd give you that padding in the heel. I've skiied all season in High Fives though, which have the same rigid bootboard as the Classics, and although I haven't hit anything particularly big, I haven't bruised my heel yet, so...
