Salomon: Men's SPK Kaos Ski Boots

Refined with a slightly stiffer flex than last year, Salomon's SPK Kaos Ski Boot has an extra padded spoiler, shin pad and 3D shock absorber for big jumps and other airborne feats in and above the park and pipe. It has a slightly looser flex than Salomon's SPK Pro Model, but the CF Sport liner has a feel that makes it easy to wear throughout the entire ski day (and into the night skiing session, too). It's designed with Salomon's FS (Freestyle) Spaceframe, a shell profile that's specifically built around feet that tend to rip pipes, parks and berms all day. Flip open the Overshaped micro aluminum buckles and unwrap the generously wide 55-mm. adjustment strap and you'll find a CF Sport liner with a special Quicklace closure that helps you tweak the fit without excessive fiddling. The CF Sport liner fits close but has a little more padding than the CF Pro model on the SPK Pro. It also has adjustable and removable DIN padding so you can tweak the fit or keep it so close that you can wear the SPK Kaos without socks. If you like a lot of air but you dread the hard landings, Salomon's SPK Kaos Ski Boot is exactly what you want to wear when you touch down.
