the ones that fit, seriously though the boots are the single most important thing that you will purchase, it also depends on how much you weigh, what kind of skiing your going to be doing and so on, you best bet is to go to a local ski store and get fitted and then go from there

exactly. a lot of people ride kryptons (i just snagged a pair so far love them even tho i havent skied much yet) but if they dont fit, it doesnt matter if they're the perfect boot, they wont feel good. depending on whether ur done growing or not, its worth it to put a decent amount of earnings into a fitted pair that work for you. go to a boot fitter, look at the options that can come with intuition liners, if not, then look for some of the regular head moldables, look into footbeds. to an extent you can make a boot fit you, so do that as well as you can. a better fit=a better boot for you=better time skiing

I just bought a pair of the Lange Banshee pro's I'll let you know how they feel when they get delivered. But they do look pretty sick if you're used to a stiffer boot like I am

try to look for a pair of boots with either a strong toe and heel piece or a replaceable toe or heel piece.
Usually the nice boots have crap toe and heel.
My nordica beast a couple of years ago got so screwed up

really just go to a boot fitter its the only way. if you buy boots just b.c you like the features and how they look it means nothing if they dont fit correctly.

you could have the most expensive, best, nicest boots on the market now, but, without a proper fit, theyre useless and worse than a cheap boot that actually fits your foot.

go see a boot fitter!

Ya, boot fitter for sure!

And, I'm loving the 09 SPK's they are sick.
I'm getting a pair for this season, they look sick. And they are hella comfortable!
Its unreal.
my 2 cents.

I had the Rampages Last year and hated them. They gave me the worst shin bang EVER!
I just bought the Spk Kaos and have used them a tiny bit on rails and already they feel %150 BETTER!

i have rampages and i get shin bang. i get shinbang with every boot because of my skinny ass legs. i just cut up a mousepad into squares and put them in between the liner and shell up under the strap. works great.

It really and truly does depend on what fits you best.  I fit Tecnica really well so obviously I ride Tecnica.  Agent 80.  I put a Super Feet footbed in them, best $35 dollar investment ever!  They feel great and Tecnica made improvements to this years boots an example would be how last years had leak issues.  This years have fixed that problem and no water will enter.  The whole boot feels great.  I think Tecnica is very much underrated, check them out but get whatever fits you best, not what everyone's riding.

I think you made a mistake. Your feet will not fit both of those. SPK's are boats, as opposed to the falcon last of the ghost which is pretty low volume.

i reckomend not going out and buying the nicest boots you can find for the sake of buying really nice and cool boots. like everyone else has said get a boot that fits good it will perform better than any other boot no matter how nice.

i have long narrow feet and i got solomon foils last year...not park specific but park/all mountian and they are great for me in the park i love them.

dalbello. ask tanner hall, glen plake, jacqui cooper, Katharina Mihaljevic, Tobias Vinatzer, Mirjam Jaeger, Carim Bouzenada, Jacob Wester, and the national teams from America, Australia, Poland, Germany, Austria, Sweden, kraina, France, New Zealand, Norway, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Denmark, Swiss, Russia, Czech Republic, Canada, Finland


and they'l tell you the same...



it doesnt matter what company you choose, they all have pro athletes. saying one is better then the other because some athletes prefer one doesnt make sense. they ride those boots because they feel good and fit right and suit their riding needs, not because they like the color or the company. as you should do the same.
