Park boots or regular boots?

[JCoz]

I have a pair of the salomon spk kaos, and was wondering is there really a big difference in park boots compared to regular boots?

wahat differences are at regular boots and park boots?

get regular boots if you enjoy skiing outside the park for the most part i mean on the eastcoast its not as much difference cause the terrain isnt steep but on steeper terrain and stuff stiffer boots help a lot. id say if you ski more than 70% park in the average day around go for some park boots

what ever fits tight, is comfy and has the flex and steeze you need my dude

clearly youre skiing at the wrong mountains...

there is actually a big difference between the two boots. park boots are a lot softer and less stiff than regular boots. regular boots are a lot less forgiving and are ment to keep u forward. also regular boots are not ment to take the impact of constantly landing jumps. if u ski the park i wud get park boots.

is it alot of easier to jump and slide over rails with park boots?

Its not any easier to ride park or sesh rails in a "park" boot than it is in a traditional ski boot. As long as you are in a boot that is the proper fit, with a flex that is right for you, you will be fine.
