I'd go to a bootfitter blain and not get race boots

Boot-fitter, yes. Race boots, maybe.

Almost all of Atomic's park athletes ski a Redster CS boot. They use this boot because it has the precision, stability, and damping that they need.

You match the boot's flex to forces you put into the boot. That might be a race boot, that might not be a race boot. All depends on you and what you need.
 
If you're having chafing issues it might be your socks (or your boot fit is way off). I've been through all kinds of ski socks and these are my favorite right now:https://patriotfootbeds.com/products/elite-socks

Regarding which type of boot in the park, I used to "just get fulltilts" but eventually went to a bootfitter and got placed in some 130 flex 4-buckle boots and they were game changing. Definitely get what fits your foot, flex is a little more personal preference but I really like my stiffer boots in the park
 
I'd do hiking boots

Go full tilts if you land backseat. So get full tilts because odds are that you will land backseat. Race boots+backseat = big shin bang

lol just fucking tighten your boots and put a lot more pressure than you think into the front of your boots and you’ll be fine most days
 
It’s all a marketing blur with boots labeled/marketed for “park”/“race”. Don’t get trapped into the effect that their are boots only meant for park and only meant for racing

Just because its a 4 buckle boot and they market to racers doesn't mean they only have race boots. Why don't you do some research and get back to us you clown.
