ok thanks what about the ignition. is it worth the extra money to go with the ignitions instead of the sparks?

i did have a person at my local shop fit the boot they felt great a little tight but they will pack out. i was just wondering how they perform on the mountain not just walking around the shop.

nordicas mostly use the same shell... as in, the nordica beast is the same boot as the supercharger, but without the shock "eraser"

the supercharger's have different models for different flex.

supercharger spark has a 70-80 flex (i have them, love them, best boot ive ever owned.)

supercharger ignition has a 90-100 flex im pretty sure (brother has them, loves them, his favorite boot since the shell of his beast's cracked somehow. warranty gave him the newer boot that had the same shell as the beast)

The sparks and Ignitions are both great boots. They have a very standard width that most ppl like. Unless you have narrow feet, or huge wide mofos, you will probably like this boot. They have very plush liners, that are known to pack out quite a bit, so keep that in mind.

probably the stiffer ignitions but try walking around the shop in either and then decide what flex you like better
