i wont let me make clicky but they are mad cheap and it would suck if they ended up being childrens boots haha cause they look just like the kids spk pros but they are listed under mens
 
You should look at the reviews if people talk about them for themselves there adults if they talk about them for there kids they're kids
 
Most of them are for themselves and i figured it out I think. They are pretty much for people that weigh less than 175 which I guess are considered juniors so what ever they will be for me then cause I guess it's all about the flex
 
I've never seen a junior boot listed over 25.5 before. These go all the way up to 29.

That's a big kid.

It's an adult boot. They just happen to make a Jr model that looks just the same.
 
They are Jnr boots really, those and the 75's are not the same as the SPk 90 or Pro. Depending how old and how much you weigh they may be fine though, but you may be better off with the 90 so you get all the best features of the SPK.
 
Narrow? The SPK 85 features a 104 last, which I'm pretty sure is the standard SPK last.
 
^yeah if any thing it fits wider as it has a very basic liner. Overall is just a cheap version of the SPK with most of the best features of the SPK missing.
 
OK SO JUST SO I HAVE GOT THIS RIGHTthey are adult boots but are entry level? i ski all the time and would consider myself definitley alot better than entry level, also i guess its cause of the flex?
i'm 16 been skiin since i was like 5 about 150lbs and mainly ski park but also race for my highschool team. my last boots were the really old blue and white full tilt booters if that makes a difference.
so should i still get them? pros/cons?
 
Its a normal old SPK, the boot the NSers went all crazy over when it debuted, just like they are with FTs now. It is NOT a kids/jr boot.
 
^ nope its not the same as the SPK even when the SPK was realeased.

If you look on the box it says SPK 85 Kids. It is not technically a JNR boot but it may as well be. It does not have a heat mold liner, does not have the goo toe or gel heel cushion and it does not have the soft spoiler. SO no its not the SPK but yes adults could wear it, but really they should look no lower then the SPK 90.
 
Well it depends, if they felt really good when you tried them on, and you dont mind losing all the best features of the SPK go for it.

But really I would go for the SPK 90 or this years SPK 100. The heat mold liner is a big deal, its much much better then the standard auto fit liner.

Personaly if you have not tried them on and had them fitted, cancel your order and go see a boot fitter. Your feet will thank you
 
alright when they get here if i dont like them i will return them, evo has a great return policy so no big deal. +K
