i used the rampages last season, and they were ok. I have wide feet and somedays it hurt, some days they felt great. Ive heard the SPK boot has more room, but id deffinetly go either rampage or salomon freestyle boot

not to promote local shops or anything, but i would go to hi tempo and try on the spk and rampage or any other boot. let the tech do their work. they'll make your feet feel amazing.

Yeah go to a fitter like allen said sure the spks and rampages look cool but if they arnt gunna fit your foot right you are just pissin away your money, go and find out if you have a narrow or wide foot and all that fun jazz

Pinewski's will have the new SPK's for next season, but there are other good boots for freestyle and the rest of the mountain. Tecnica is actually a really high quality boot from Italy that you don't necessarily have to pay more for. The high end Vento series fits really well. Stop by Pinewski's and they'll take the time to measure and shell fit your foot, heat mold, educate you on your options and possiblly upgrade your insoles. Custom fit doesn't cost extra, it's just something Pinewski's does every time.

go try on boots anywhere but when u find a pai u like go to marv at peirce, he will make your boots fits better than u could ever imagnine, its gonna cost a little more but its so worth it, if your feet arent done growing yet i would mabey stay away from this cause if u grow out of them tha would really suck

get a boot that fits your foot type and flex preference, and then get intuition liners. i got em, they are flippin amazing soo comfy, they fit how they are supposed to not like an spk.

man that said everything you need to know.
Just make sure you buy the right size I have two pairs of the same Krypton Rampages because the first pair bought 26 where a size to big. the 2nd pair i got is a 25 just by dropping 1 size it made a world of difference.
