any reviews on them? are they worth the money and are they comfortable? my foot is narrow if that helps
 
they are the best boot i have ever put my foot into. whether your foot is fat or thin this boot hugs it and is soo comfortable.
 
the solomon rep was trying really hard to sell me this boot saying "it is the best boot he has ever ridin period" he also said all the solomon pros ride it. i didnt get to try it on becase they were out
 
bottom line is ... the spk boots are the best boots ever produced for park skiing ... most worthwhile purchase for me... the flex is insane.... comfort is untouchable... and the support and lightweight are like no other boot ive ever ridden... but yes ... its worthwhile ... snag a pair now...

be easyyy
 
i went to a shop yesturday and they said that they didnt even hold the spks because it was only a double buckle, but instead i got the solomon foils, its like a blowjob for your foot
 
haha) now i see... that's written one of our russian shops)

ok, but you got what i mean? they are completely white. so how are they?

 
i never used them but a guy at my mtn had them last year and he said he wont use a different boot now if that helps at all ^ about the white scratch boot
 
hhaah. its insaine how uneducated kids are these days.

the forward flex of a boot controls how much pressure you can drive the ski with. AKA, softer boots are gonna not ski as well, but have more suspension for landing jumps, skiing switch, etc etc. the forward lean also drasticly affects this. the SPK has a very upright stance, which is great for park riding, but not so hot for all mountain stuff. also, the idea of paddin the shit outta a boot is stupid. the more padding you put into a boot, the less responsive it is. in freeskiing, this actually matters. with a low volume boot like a salomon falcon, dalbello krypton, or technica diablo, your input into the boot directly transfers into the ski. its very noticable with setting spins, switch ups, butters, and just carving in general. the only place its Crucial to have alot of padding, is in the footbed, and a decent amount in the tongue.

the other thing to note, is boots can be customized. it will void your warrenty, but pretty much any boot can be made as stiff or soft as you want, with as much forward lean as you want. if you cant figure it out, find someone who can. some boots have the ability to adjust all this stuff without cutting or grinding anything. the Krypton series is designed with no rivits, and is totally rebuildable. another one of my favorites is the OLD line transfer boot, which had an awesome mechanism on the back which not only allowed you to set forward lean, but also flex, on the fly. i very well may try and mount that system on my kryptons, cause it was SO sick.

anyway, go for fit. do not buy into the latest fad cause Newschoolers said its cool. if you find a boot that fits, but the flex is too stiff or it doesnt have enough forward lean, dont worry. it can all be fixed later on.
