finally bought a pair of burton poacher boots.. I tried on multiple pairs and these fit the best. only problem is I see they are park boots and I plan on just riding the slopes.. will this be ok?

usually the only difference is in the stiffness, they might be a little soft for your taste but they will work.

in my experience i find that park boots work for just riding the slopes but boots that are made for the slopes can be too stiff for the park. you should be fine.

if they are what felt best to you they will work. its not the boot that makes the rider its the factor of fending off foot fatigue.

They have a support rating of 2, which means they're pretty soft. Not really ideal, might be OK. If you can take them back I probably would. If Burtons fit your feet well try the Rulers or Ions.
