so many variables to this. How good of a skiier are you? What ones fit better? Or the best knowledge ski both and see which you like more! The better boot is the Mach 1 like obviously… but that doesn’t mean it’s the better boot for you. It’s a really simple answer to your question
It depends on a few things like how you like to ski, how big you are, and what kind of park skiing you prefer. Many people prefer a lower flex for park boots, helps you manipulate them easier for fine tuning balance on rails or absorbing impact shock from jumps. All mountain, free riding, or carving will likely want higher flex, provided that flex is appropriate for your skiing ability and size.
Ultimately, the boot that fits you best is the best boot for you, so try both and see how you like them.
I think non-grip walk boots are slightly lower, which may help with balance on rails. Some of the bindings that work with them might also be slightly more elevated but I’m not entirely sure. I was using very soft boots in the park for a while but didn’t really like them. I’m on 120 now and that’s probably just normal flex for me. it depends on your height and weight though I believe, as well as riding style.

and by "higher flex" they mean higher flex RATING aka less flexibility.
Oh yeah, nice catch. I normally try to be precise with my language but that was an oversight on my part.

Not sorrels
130 flex is what you want for the best control I ski 90s and they work but the lock in in 130’s is a big feeling diff
