Hard or Soft flex boot???

[Nikav]

I would like to ask you which one is safer and better for tricks. I need a 6-8 flex boot or 9-11 flex boot for air-tricks??

Thanx

Am looking for soft ski boots and can't find them at Willis at 7 Spirngs or other local shops. Where do you buy them and are they better than standard skiboots for the average skiboard rider?

I don't know to me it wasnt a major change. When you think soft boot dont think its like a snowboard boot. It's mostly hard boot but just the front part at the shin and on top of your foot is soft. I still ended up going with the deeluxe lemans.

Thanks for your reply. I was thinking they offer more ankle flex and movent so you can do some tricks a little easier that require a staggered stance. Do they help with staggering legs more, such as riding fakie? Or, does the softness apply to the comfort area only?

I think all "soft boots" have a little more give but not really. The have to maintain the rigidness of an alpine boot so you dont snap your ankle if the ski/skiboards twist. So it's really more of a comfort thing. Again I bought the Deeluxe lemans from Greco and the are da bomb.
