Foil or spk boots ?

[Bmoxham]

Just wonderin if anyone can help me out in choosing on which boot to get which on would be better for park and powder.

Very wide foot: Foil.

Hideously wide foot: SPK.

 

[Ryno]

Whats the calf space like?

I have a short wide foot with a wide calf.

 

[Ryanvdonk]

i like foils better, im not a fan of the zero foreward lean in the SPK.

 

[WONTON]

why dont u go to a shop and try some boots on and see what feels good...find a boot fitter

 

[iLikeToSkii]

[steezyme]

Oh, do you have those like tree-trunk legs like kids i see outside the candy store? This kid at my school, Scott Carter, his arms are a big as my legs, and his legs are as big as, um, almost my waist.

considerably so, from a "average" view. both of these boots have a flex of 85 which is relatively soft. because the spk's have more padding everywhere, less of the power you put into your boot is transmitted to your ski, and it may feel loose or not all that responsive compared to a stiffer boot, or even the foil. spk's are specifically made for park. as for the foils, i've never ridden them, but i have xwave 8's which have a flex of 85 and i love them everywhere. good for everything. if you go outside the park more than 30% of the time, i'd reccomend foils, but keep in mind that not i nor many other people that have posted have ridden both boots and therefore, you should go out and try them on your own.
