I need some ski boots with a 120 flex rating. I want either a park or big mountain boot. And my bigest problem is i wear a 32.0.

Your bout to get hammered with the "go see a fitter" routine....but I'll give ya a direction....ya got a big foot homie so assuming it's equally wide I'd look at the salomon spk pro...it's a 110 flex but it's a good park boot for big feet...if your dead set on a stiffer flex take a look at the ghost.....but as always try it on before you buy and see a fitter;)

dalbello has a stiff boot. if i put the other tongues in my il moros (can't remember if it's b or c) they're really stiff. I don't know if your foots wide or not though. mine is low volume so they fit me well.

Ya know what you could do?....try emailing a decent fitter and see if he's game...then try to find a running shoe store that's willing to let ya get on one of those exact foot measuring thingamabobs....then send the data to a fitter and have him hook ya somethin up and send it to ya....it'll probably be expensive as heck though....or jus wait till the next time ya go skiing and hit the pro shop there.

In a size 32, you are super limited in general, let alone trying to find a "park" or "big mountain" boot.

A lot of this depends on your foot shape since most of the boots in that size are quite wide. One of the medium lasted boots that comes in that size will be the Salomon Impact... but again it depends on your foot shape. Your best bet is to at least talk with a fitter on the phone if you cannot see one. Give Ryan at the Skirack a call 802-658-3313, he will be down to help point you in the right direction for sure.

Are you actually a size 32? I wear an 11.5 and try to squeeze into at the largest a 27. I know kids who think that because they have a 13 foot they should be in 30s. What is your shoe size?

one of the worst things you can do is get a boot in your head that you think you might want to have. chances are it will be the wrong thing for you. the most important part of this discussion will be finding you a boot that fits you since the number of options you will have is very small...
