Is there any ski boot out their that is to die for making park skiing just insanely sick??

 
teneighty boots and rossignol soft are both designed for park as i think there a bit softer than a normal boot. I dont know how much difference they make though.

boots are the most important piece of your gear. for sure spend a lot of time picking out your boots.

my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.
 
well, first of all, i'm sure you don't speak for ALL polish people. that would be pretentious. and second, having performance skis is great, but if your boots don't fit correctly, it's hard to get that performance out of your ski. actually, it's really hard to ski at all with stress fractures (caused by a boot that doesn't fit properly in the cuff), arch problems (caused by a boot with the wrong footbed), or purple toes (caused by a boot that's too tight). that's why i say that boots are the most important piece of equipment: not because i ski solely for comfort, but because without properly fitting, comfortable boots it's hard to ski at a high level at all.

my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.
 
rossignol softs are for begginers and old people. 1080 boots are supposed to be for park, but i don't see what's special about them. the technica flames are supposed to be park oriented and... whatever man just get something that fits your foot. that's the most important thing.

 
^right. the fit is more important than whether the boot is park specific or not.

my level of radness... it just can't... be quantified.
 
who gives a crap rossignol only says that so youll buy there boot, as sean said you should find a boot that is really comfortable or you'll regret it

I'm still rockin the 01' Line Transfer boot. It's pretty sick. I have it set so it's not too stiff but not too soft. As far as shin bang goes I haven't really had a problem. Only setback might be that they are a little heavy. the transfer was designed to be a park boot. but you can change it up a little for all mtn.

Park Boots explaine. Park boots are based off a Intermediate flex but the boot itself has a few features that makes it a park boot. The case with Salomon (X-Wave 7) and Tecnica is that these boots have absorbers built into the footboard of the boot not to be confused with the foot bed. This allows for less fatigue on your feet when landing and cuts down on heel injuries. The flex allows for easier landings switch with more forgiveness so you can make a mistake and not get shin splints. These boots are based off an intermediat flex not only for landings, but also it allows the boot to be lighter.

 
Nice explination^. I like my Icon Alu comps, but fit is the most important. If you want ridculously well fitting boots that work perfectly, go to a Surefoot. They do such a nice job.

THREE PEICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ive said it soo many times on this site, and no one really picks it up. a three peice shell is the only way to go for a park boot. there really are no disadvantages, and there are sooooo many plluses, like awesome flex, good lateral rigidity, easy to put on, ect. they KILL PARK!! check out dalbellos, or if you can find um, the old 2001 one line transfers. i love those boots so damn much.

i looked on google but all i could find was 3D Animation porn-sxmarty6

ECS headwear, hit me up!
 
teneighties have shock absorbers that are nice make it so you feet dont hurt so much and the new ones have little pieces cut out of them to make them lighter

"if all your friends jumped off a clif would you?" -my mom "i would if there was snow on it" -me

 
I'll second that ^. A lot of people talk shit about surefoot but they were the only people who got me a good fit that will last.

 
A good fitting boot is the most important thing you can buy.

Everyone hates bad fitting boots. It hurts like shit, and makes it hard to ski to your full potential.

yeah alot of people end up getting boots that are too big for them which lets their foot move and sloppy for skiing in. its better to have a tight boot as long as it doesnt hurt. There a bitch to put on but once there on its sweet. No movement so u have much more control and can get better faster.

your boot is ur most important piece of ski equipment, ur boot is where ur force transferes to the ski. with inproperly fit boots u will never be skiing to your full potential
