Fit of SPK boots...

[SHREDDY]

Watup guys, finally got my SPK's and I like them alot (personal opinion). I know that when I ride I will prolly break them in more, but do you guys feel that they're wicked tight around your calf area? Just walkin around, I feel like my calves are being suffocated...

Steps to getting boots that fit:

1) Go to a bootfitter

2) Get bootfitted

nothing about that boot is tight.

 

[R.Fahey]

Are you kidding me? OR are you talking "tight" as in cool? They're such a narrow boot. The calf is pretty tight.

 

[JGP.]

yea exactly what i was thinking, i got a pair cause they fit my foot and are comfy as hell. tight??? do u have thunder calfs or somethin???

 

[Ahmets_Brother]

i get nasty foot cramps on the side of my foot from those boots...i gota go get them fitted

 

[skisquaw@420]

if the back of ur calf hurts take them to a boot fitter and take out the rear spoiler

 

[joscratch]

It fit like an 120fr. or an rossignol power.... or closelly. It not like an performa or something large.

 

[SHREDDY]

I don't have thunder calves...I tryed them on around the store, size 28.0, and I like the fit of the boot...When I got back to my apartment and was walking around for a while in them, it seemed as if they were suffocating my calves. I'm sure they need to be broken in a little bit, but they shouldnt be THAT tight. Would bumping up a size make a differnce. a 28.5 is the same shell as the 28.0...What do you guys think?

 

[JGP.]

haha i wa just playin man, they really shouldnt be tight, def not suffucating your leg. go to a reliable bootfitter and get them checked out, may have been a defect or somethin idk.

 

[fouldsys]

maybe its the adjustable high back thats bothering you.

 

[SHREDDY]

The only thing I'm thinking is that red piece in the back part of the calf of the boot...It's their to absorb on switch landings and the guy I dealt with said I could jsut take it out...

 

[JGP.]

yea the red thing is supposed to be removable, try taking it out and see i its any better.

 

[watchmefall15]

dont buckle it so tight man, let the power strap out a little bit

 

[papasteeze]

ah yep, SPK + fat calves = remove rear spoiler. (or whatever it is called)

 

[SteveStepp]

i just got a pair. they are sooooo sick. i was walking around with them for an hour and it didnt even bother me

 

[danieljordan]

yeah just take out that red spoiler. its velcro and will come easily off the highback

 

[tha_CF]

there probly tight cuz u have the power strap and buckle a little 2 tight? haha just a guesss tho

 

[SHREDDY]

Yeah, I definately had my boots a tad tight on the buckles and straps...I removed the red back piece and it was pretty comfortable also...I really think they jsut needa be skied several times so i can break em in...Less than a week for me though!

 

[K.C.Deane]

holy shit, do you have CRLs?

 

[squibble]

im really confused: i have rampages and they fit my foot, apprently there narrow, i tried on spks and they fit my foot just as well as the rampages, but i thought they were uber wide, the spks also have a lower instep.

 

[dynastarskier71]

i dont think the spk is that wide. i thought it just had a huge ass toe box. but the mdi foot was still pretty narrow. i might be wrong.

 

[Swick825]

i have big calves from playing soccer and they fit me fine. these boots are not at all narrow. thats crazy to say theyre narrow.

 

[Ware]

I have some.. dope as fuckkkk.
