read all this shit its important, and yes while the SPK is popular for park, i dont think its the best because its just mad soft and wide and while being a soft boot is good for lighter kids, it has shit handling and responsiveness which is good in every aspect of our sport (pipe, big jumps, rails), everything except urban
what i did was go on ebay, get last years boot for 100 dollars, and had a bootfitter look at it, put in an aftermarket insole (helps so much) and now i have a wicked comfortable, fairly responsive park boot (lange banshee 90) that was never meant to be for park. dont drop money on something stupid newb
