yesterday while i was at my shop that i work at, i had nothing to do, so i tried every boot we had on display that was in my size. I came to conclude that the SPK is not a wide boot at all. Simply an average sized boot, not narrow and not wide. The Nordica supercharger spark boots are VERY wide, they r the same mold/shell from the nordica beast boots. If u have a wider foot, i would stay away from the spk, dalbello, check out some nordica's.

Well forget that when you go to your shop. Don't even mention SPK, the most annoying thing is when a customer has a brand or model in mind before you even start fitting. Tell the dude how you ski and have him look at your feet. If the SPK is the boot for you, he'll recommend it.

pretty sure the SPK is 104mm wide, Rampages are 98mm wide, Nodrica Beasts are 101 wide, Xwave 8,9,10's are 100 wide, langes are pretty narrow.

yep, i find the spks to be only wide in the toebox, which is how its meant to fit. It hugged my narrow ass foot halfway decently. what do you think of the whole new wider lange fit in their fluid series.

i found the same, it is not very wide until around your metheads, or just before. I found the toe box on the SPK huge, the tried on supercharger, which wasn't as wide in the toe box, but it was consistently wide through the boot.
