so uh need new boots and i imagine the spk boots for next year are prolly going to be pretty expensive, so uh take some 1080 foil boots this year for a good deal or hold out for the spk and spend hella cash...which id ont have.

Id imagine the 1080 fiol boots are sick enough for pure park skiing>?

I too was looking at the spks but would they be complete shit for anything outside of the park? I would imagine so but just wondering...

how can you pre-order a boot you have never tried on? Not to be mean, but I almost hope they don't fit you just because you are purchasing them based on hype.

On my good side, I hope they are a great boot for you. However, PLEASE stop basing things on looks and hype and get fitted by a professional. I rode a pair of 1080 boots I thought fit okay but had terrible heel cup fit. I figured it was no big deal until I tore the interior and exterior ligaments in my right ankle. That was December 31st. I still can't even jog.

Get the right boot, bro.

ummm...no - like triplstrum said, well not really, but you should go to a bootfitter. you cant know if its gonna fit perfect/good/horrible by seeing what other people say and buying them online.

I doubt it's going to cost more then $450, I bet their marketing to the younger generation.

I agree with you... you should try both of them before making your choice... if you are not confortable you are not going to ski normaly..
