Boot Help

there is no way anyone here can recommend a boot for you, please see a boot fitter if you want to get the right ski boot for your foot (which trust me, you do) but i am curious as to why those are your options? seems like a strange selection of boots

.

those boots are all extremely different, a race boot and an spk is pretty much the largest variation in last that you could get.. also, provided the fit is right, look into the lange xt series and the technica cochise series

It really doesn't matter if they have them or not, more than likely every ski shop now carries them but you don't need a park boot to ride park or a race boot to race. You can race on an spk if they fit you the best and you can hit rails all day in race boots if they fit you the best.

I was fitted for a Lange rx 100 (don't get these because I have them) they fit me perfectly, but they don't fit everyone. Sure I could have gotten something like a Salomon ghost, but they didn't fit me as well as the Lange's. The only thing different are the crap ass graphics on my boots that I have to live with, but I would rather have to deal with that over any sort of foot/ shin pain at the end of the day.

Go in with a clear head, no brand loyalty or anything. You might want a 3 peice full tilt or  a park specific boot or something like that, but maybe the flex doesn't feel right or the fit isn't that great, well there are always other and usually better options for your problems.

I just say you probably want to make sure they have those boots, as they are generally lighter than race boots. I ski in a Fischer Soma Vaccuum RC4 130 stiff for both racing and park and it works for me, i would just rather have a much lighter boot. But yes you can definitely ski park in a race boot. (racing with a park boot however will be an issue as they generally aren't as stiff, and when they are they normally aren't quite as responsive, but this is irrelevant.) Definitely don't think about brand loyalty, it is stupid and you want the best gear for you, not the best gear for tammy wallnuts.
