ok. first, you will use the word freeriding. there is no "riding free", as americans arent really free, and for that matter no one is. second, you will now march your ass to the nearest technica dealer,a nd buy a pair of technica icon alu comps, as they are the sickest boots ever created.

It totally depends on your feet. Try on as many as possible. The only thing you have to decide is how stiff a boot you want. The more park you do, the more flex you want in your boot. The more carving/high speed/ crud skiing you do, the more stiffness you want in your boot.
Lange happens to be best for me.

Go to Surefoot and have them made. That's what I did and now they're perfect.

^ NO do not go to sure foot the only thing they do is fuck up your boots they cant do anything right. What boot you need depends on your foot and your ability. I would say look into Atomic, Nordica, Lange, Salomon, Technica. but please for your sake dont go to sure foot aka sore foot.

Hate all you want, Surefoot has been the only thing that worked for me. All these other shop mostly pimp the Superfeet insoles which are ancient tech. and horrible for people with low arches. I also have an incredibly hard heel to fit and no other bootfitters have been able to get me a good fit.
I have spent hundreds actually over $1000 on BOOTFITTING this year and Surefoot are the only people who got me a good fit by using custom liners in my 1080 shells.
Yeah, I spent waaay too much money on all that but all I wanted to do was ski in boots where my heel would stay put.

the flex indexes are different for every company, but the lower the #, the softer the boot.
