I am looking to get in to more park skiing this year and want have more control over my skis. Can anyone tell me what a good pair of boots to buy would be that would allow me to have a "feel" for my skis more? I want to have easier control over my skis on 360's and shifties and just skiing in general. The boots I have now are heavy, and don't fit me well. When I watch videos of pros, it looks like they can move their skis any direction without even trying. This is what I want in a boot. The skis I have are armada halo 2s and I am 5 ft 10'' and 140 pounds. Any help is appreciated, thanks

this is a question asked repeatedly on ns. the answer will always be the same. there is no such thing as a "park" boot, they don't exist and will never exist. the only way for you to find the perfect boot that you are looking for is to go to a physical boot fitter and try on many different boots until you find the one that is perfect for you. i would also recommend purchasing custom insoles to allow for an even better fit. realistically you are going to want a softer boot for park, probably, not definitely. it is all about PERSONAL preference and PERSONAL fit and no one can recommend a boot for you online because no one has you feet.
moral of the story: GO TO A BOOTFITTER ASAP AND DONT LISTEN TO ANY RECOMMENDATION ANYONE HAS ONLINE
