I just need some quick help deciding between a Speedmachine 10 or a Beast 12. Both are comfortable, both fit perfectly, flex is relatively equal. Is there any reason to choose one over the other.

Saying "buy _______(insert any other brand here) doest help. I'm buying one of the two of those boots. Thanks.

i talked to a guy on the lift this season who had a pair of beasts (lift broken down). he said that they were stiffer than he thought they would be and that sometimes he gets shinsplits?? not much help i guess but whatever.

^that really does suck, but id say its an exception. i was in the same jam as you just a while back ('cept i liked the langes more than the beasts) and decided to go with the sick ass speed10. not only is the fit the craziest shit i have ever felt in my entire life, but its also the more versatile/performance driven boot. if you dont want to 2nd guess ur shit all season, splurge and get the fuckin' machines!

yea it's not even price I'm worried about. I expect to spend maybe 60% in the park, 40% in moguls and all mountain. I know either boot is gonna rock my socks, I just dont know which is better suited. I wish I could demo them...
