Boots for skinning?

[EndlessWinta77]

Im in the market for new boots after slowly killing my original Salomon 1080's for the last way to many years. Is there anything I should look at in regards to boots that are well made for skinning/hiking as well as all mtn/freeski/occasional park hits?

I use the 2012 FT Hot Doggers. Nice lightweight boot for skinning and hitting the occasional jump. I usually unbuckle them almost all the way when I'm hiking as it allows for a little more flex and comfortability.
