Just bought some HEAD RAPTOR 100 RS, they feel nice, have not ski them yet, I was originally looking at the Dalbello Il Moro

I'm wondering if I should stick with my Heads or Dalbello, I mostly ski park, but I'm recently seeing allot of people using Race boots since they offer top performance, I'm just scared that my Race boot will give me foot pain later on,

Any thoughts, should I stick with my Heads?

Did you go to a bootfitter?
Theres no such thing as a park boot. It’s marketing. Many people use “race boots” because they fit their foot. I use Tecnica Mach1 LV boots in the park because they fit my foot, despite them not being “park boots”. If the Head RS fit your foot, go with those. Plenty of people ride those in the park too.

I love my RS 130s for everything, park included, they are so bomber. I kinda hate the term “park boot” too. fit and flex are all that matter whether it’s a “park boot” or race boot. I’d trust your boot fitter, just make sure you get your fit dialed in if you need a little punch, grind or stretch somewhere

Thanks for the opining!
Can't wait to try them out, I can tell you that just putting them on, feels so much tighter and feels like I'm connected to the boots,
I had previously some diablo il moro mx 90 and my foots is pretty narrow and they are 103 in last, way to big
I ski them for 2 years, I could not get them tight as I liked, after trying these Racing boot my old boots feel so loose,

I managed to ski very well with the other ones, can't wait to see the power these racing boot will provide,

Current setup is 2021 Line blends
