Salomon SPKs

[NWlife.]

I have hear good things about this boot I wanna know if they are right for me. I'm 6 ft 180 and I ski a lot of backcountry. Mostly dropping larger cliffs and love powder skiing.. I ski a little park and groomers here and there. Would spks work for me??

If they fit they will work fine for what you asked for, go to a boot fitter though

I got them last year and really like them, but I mostly ski park so it might be different

what is important is that your feet fit well in them. i skied the 3 past years in the park with freeride boots so you will be okay with park boots in backcountry

Go to a bootfitter, fit is everything. Don. Get caught up on the name. That being said, my spk kreations work well for me.

As has been said go get fitted,

but the new ones may be a little soft for you, there only a 100 flex. I got some last season and there quite soft. You may be better looking for last seasons SPK Pros as they are a 110 flex. Or you could look at the ghost if you want to keep with salomon, but they fit very very differently.

So really go get fitted, without a boot in mind and buy what fits the best and what the fitter recommends.

I had spk pros from this (last) year and upgraded to ghost 120 midway through the season. You'll want the ghosts

instead of asking NS, ask the boot fitter.

i have them and they are amazing though! i have a wide foot thats why i got them. otherwise look at Full tilts

I have spks and they work good for me, i mostly ride park/powder

Dont buy SPK's bro. I have had them before. They are nice boots but they cant compare to Full Tilt. There is so much you can do with Full Tilt that you cant really do with any other boot out there. You can trade parts with people which is really cool. And also they are just amazingly comfy. The way they open up on cold days is crazy how easy you can slide your foot in. Also you can change your tongues with full tilts so you can make sure you have the correct flex in your boot for the conditions of that day.
