I am looking for some new park boots. Kinda would just like to hear what your proz and conz are for your boot. This way the guy at my shop isn't just telling me what he read bout the products at hand. Thank you

get boots that fit. you don't need park boots to do park. if they happen to be park boots then more power to you. if they fit correctly they're all gonna do the same thing; hold you into skis.

BOOT FITTER!!!!!

If your dead set on getting freestyle boots like spks, full tilts, ace of spades, etc. then just go try some on and see which ones feel the best and have the flex you like. I'd strongly reccomend taking the advice from that ^ link. and you don't really need park/freestyle boots. youll improve faster if you have a boot that works well with your foot rather than the latest full tilts if full tilts dont fit your foot right. Do what feels good bro. Cheers!

p.s. dont let the fact that I have fts decompose my argument. I tried on MULTIPLE boots before I reached the conclusion that full tilts felt like heaven for my foot shape. I got fitted and im much happier for it!!

As long as thy fit your golden! Wide feet? Solomon tends to fit most, FullTilt Only comes in one shell width. Narrow? Try some rossi's. Mid range? Try a technica! Cheers!

not to knock you, BUT DONT LISTEN TO THIS! Many errors.

Go to a local shop or three and try on a bunch of boots. Like others have said, you dont have to have a park boot. I ski in lange comp 120s, a stiff race boot. I cant stand the soft flex of your spk or booters.

I know the fitting part, you do that in any sport wit most equipment when you wont it to work well. I have been riding Fischer boots the last 2 years. They are on the last legs and I feel like trying some other boots. I would like some feed back on a boot you like and why so?

I like full tilts personally because of the extra padding, and the super warm, custom molded liners, and the fact that the flex is adjustable and it just makes sense. But make your own conclusions. If it feels nice, get it.
