Insane

I am male, 20yo, 6ft and 170 pounds, ski 80%+ park quite aggressively and the rest all mountain.

I have a moderately wide foot. Currently on Tecnica recreational boots from 08. They are awesome boots (No shinbang ever in four seasons), not too stiff, but I don't like how they're so heavy and they're falling apart a bit on the inside. Basically, looking for a park boot that isn't overly soft/flexy. thinking some Salomons might be good, have heard Full Tilts are quite narrow so they probably won't suit.

any help appreciated.

hey i had the same problem as you...get fulltilts they have a boot for a wide foot and a standard foot. but salomon also felt good when i tried them on. my advice is, go to a boot fitter and what ever feels right buy. but make sure they arent racing boots....bad idea.

Crazy Fool

Ignore anyone who suggests a boot here. They do not have your feet, so any advice given is subjective.

Just go get yourself fitted up, and listen to the advice of the bootfitter. Also allow about $150 for the footbed, they really are worth it. Your fitting should be free, and so should follow up fitting if you buy a custom footbed.

FYI a pair of superfeet which are not molded to your feet are not footbeds, (neither are the custom superfeet imo)

Sorry if this sounds harsh at all to you, but it is your best bet.
