salomons are pretty wide. but, if you're foot is just too fucked up, as long as it's not fucked up everywhere and more of a pressure point type soreness, you can get a boot punched out to fit your exact foot shape. so get a boot that's MOSTLY comfortable, and have the shop do the rest.

fuck park boots but I also have weird feet ,very wide and also a pretty high arch.
Dolomites and Atomics have proven to be the most comfortable.
I recommend the Atomic M:11 for big mountain and one of the softer models if you are a girlyman. The "m" series from atomic is really cool because they have two screws in the back of each boot that soften it one level, and you can throw these in an out at will depending on whether or not you will be riding certain conditions.
My boots are flex index 11/11 for atomic but if I take the screws out (havnt tried it yet) suppoedly they are 9/11 and 10/11 if I only take one out. Check em out they are the highest value for boots (cheap and sick). They have this grippy shit under your arch on the bottom of your boot which is sick for boot packing traction aswell as built in heaters for those cold morning skins. The Cant is fully adjustable and I havn't even needed to replace the strap ( I have extra booster straps ). They are sick, check em.

Don't look at just "park" boots. Get a decent all mountain boot that fits you and has the flex you're looking for. Head S8, Salomon X-Wave 8 (or whatever they're called now) or Atomic B7 are fairly soft and a wide fit (the Atomic B series is a specificly wide fit and is pretty much the widest boot on the market right now). S10/S12, X-Wave 9/10 or B11 are the stiffer versions of these.
There is nothing special about "park" boots. A good footbed will do far more for your shock absorbsion than any "shock absorbing bootboard" can. Something that fits well shouldn't give you shin problems even on heavy landings.
