Have anyone used these boots in the park? How do they hold up? I know boots with walking mode is not supposed to be used in the park, but I'm only hitting small to medium sized jump, although I'm pretty heavy (200 lbs/90kg). Will they be fine in the park?

I didn't have any durability issues with mine, but the thing I'd be more concerned about is rearward support. In my experience with the QST 130, the walk mechanism does decrease the rearward stiffness, and I noticed that on backseat landings. Also worth noting that I wouldn't call them a true 130 — I'd say they're more like a 115-120. But if they fit your feet (most important) and you're only hitting small and medium jumps, they'd probably be fine. Might also improve your technique since they won't let you get away with landing quite as backseat.
