Hello,

i tried some Ski boots, and the SPK's works perfectly for me!
But i dont know which one i should buy, i can decide between the 75,90 and 100 (pro) version, i ride alot of Park and just a little bit Allm, but not huge cliffs or extremely deep powder.
And where can i find a bootfitter in Switzerland?

Im pretty sure the 75s are for kids so not those. i have the 100s and im happy with them, theyre super comfortable and they look sick. as for finding a bootfitter in switzerland, i have no idea haha sorry

the 75s are not for kids. if you are hitting huge kickers or charging super hard you would want a stiffer flex. the soft you go the more playful the boot is. It mainly comes down to body specs. Once you find a boot fitter ask what what flex they would recommend for your size.

If you can get to Davos, you should go see Hans Martin Heierling. By far one of the best boot-fitters in central Europe.

Hello Everybody! Thank you for the fantastic answers ;) youre just amazing guys!!!

Yeah im just 115 pounds (about 52kg) 170cm tall and just 15 years old, could a 75 enough stable for me? Or, if i do some allmtn. take the 90?
Go to Davos shouldnt be a problem, its just 1-2 hours aways! Thank you for that fantastic tip! Must i do that BEFORE or AFTER i ride the boot first time?

Greetings Merlin

At your weight the 75 flex version could work for you, but you do lose all the features of the real SPK boots. They do not have the goo toe, the soft spolier or the gel heel. So 90 would be the base model to look at really. The pro from last season is actually 110 flex not 100, so it may be a bit stiff. The 90 from last season would be ideal really. They are what my girlfriend rides and she is about your weight.
