Anyone riding the Nordica Supercharger series Spark boot this year? Was gonna ask for a bit of feedback. Just shop formed some in a 30.5 mondopoint. Hope they fit...

Does anyone have this years? Or have any thoughts on this?

I think the Ignition is a little bit stiffer, but I'm not sure really.

Actually they both might be the same stiffness. The Ignition is a better boot, I know that. But it's 100 bucks more, and the Spark is already expensive.

I wear 13 in some shoes, mostly Nikes. 12.5 in others, 12 in Vans.


and the Ignition has a better liner in it, plus better shock absorption supposedly. Everything the spark has, just upgraded to their best materials.

exact same shells, spark has a lower grade polyether (plastic) for the shell, a bit less shock absorption, lower grade buckles, no cuff alignment, thinner power strap, i think i loses the power strap, and a lower grade liner (more open cell foam that feels great for a day or two then packs out, and never gives u the best performance)

the spark was basically the recreation of the beast, which it was the same boot with a different name. but they now have the beast again, so i think they are the same boot. i tried them on last year, pretty nice, but my last nordicas packed out like a son of a bitch and i got the worst shin bang throughout the season. those were beast by the way
