Whats the difference?

[DaKoTaLuTz]

I looked at the Buying Ski Boot Guide or whatever its called and that didnt answer my question. I have been skiing park for about 4 yrs now but I have never spent one season with a park boot. I have Dabello boots that I dont even know what model they are. What is the difference from a Park boot to any other boot, is it worth the money?

Park boots usually have a softer flex.

And to some it is worth the money and to others it is not. It is all based on personal preference and what fits best.

flex isn't the only difference, there are also stiffer park/allmountain boots...
main difference in my oppinion is the trendier design and quite often the shaft is more perpendicular to the bootsole, while normal boots have more forward inclination....
that being said, i think i'm doing allright on my technica diablos from 4y old....

A lot of park boots also have dampening soles in them while regular boots will not. Generally the flex pattern is not always softer but different.
