Go to a Bootfitter.  All we can do here is give you stuff to try on, but ultimately you have to buy what fits well.

There have been so many of these retarded threads lately. GO TO A BOOTFITTER/SKI STORE, TALK TO THE PEOPLE THERE, AND TRY ON THE BOOTS.

He actually gave you a good suggestion, however, a quick read through in the boot guide should answer your question.

the man wants a still boot and you said foils along the same lines as the lange fr120s and the protons?


no that will not do. if you want something with the same stiffness as a fr120, go for the Gun. the foils are a soft boot

I take it you dont get the joke, so I'll fill you in.

SPK- has a very high volume, wide fit. Very wide, comepletely different buckle system, higher stance angle(vertically), much more park specific.

Krypton- has a very LOW volume, NARROW fit. Very different colsure system, completely different flex, completely different stance angle(vertically), in all, a totally different boot.

And before you respond to someone, especially someone of much more knowledge of boots than yourself, just read up a bit on your facts.
