Overall
An excellent choice for anybody in need of new boots. Although these boots aren't as adjustable as some competitors, they are comfortable and do their job well.
Design
The boot has a full-length shock absorbing sole to cushion big landings. This is obviously a must for anybody skiing the park these days.
These boots are very comfortable! The liner, flexible casing, and shock absorbing shell make for a comfortable fit. The second lowest buckle near the ankle can be moved to help keep your heal in place if your weight gets thrown forward.
The buckles can be fined tuned by twisting the clip clockwise or counter-clockwise to adjust the clip length by a millimeter at a time.
The overall boot weight is pretty low, making walking & skiing easier and more enjoyable. The heal piece can be changed if it wears out so as not to slip on cement walkways.
Characteristics
The boot casing is medium-soft, which provides excellent flexibility and movement. The boot has a carbonlink in the back which connects the bottom of the boot casing with the top. The idea behind this is to reinforce the top of the boot casing, without anchoring it to the base, allowing for good flexibility without sacrificing control.
The boot also has an adjustable Canting lock, which allows you to adjust the boot's natural stance.
Durability
The plastic, liner and buckles all seem to be well made. The buckles are all titanium to cut down on weight while maintaining strength. Obviously it's hard to judge durability so early into the season, but I have no complains so far and hope believe these boots with hold up for many seasons.
great boots

I find the flex too seft. Im only 140lbs and 5'7''.
I use them for park only. and another thing is that the liner doesnt last two long. Im not sure if its just me, but i packed the shit out of the liner in the first two weeks of the season. Im also feeling some shin bang. I think i would benefit from the gel padded tongue on the SPKS.
