Full tilt boots durability

I'm looking into some full tilt konflicts next year, but have some reservations about the durability.  How do they hold up?  Please only respond if you skied them and can attest to their durability.  Please don't reply "zomg, full tilt is gay, buy spk"  And also, whats the weight like compared to the dalbello krypton.  I'm by no means picking my boot by weight, but I'm curious whether or not full tilt is as light as they claim to be.

They are the lightest boots i have ever worn.  The smoothest flexing boots ever.

how do you think the durability is?  Basically the same as any other boot you've ever used?  I know you can get replacement parts, but if it is something that happens alot, then i'd like tostay away.

They are very durable.  I've ridden the Konflicts for about 25 days this year and they are holding up fine.

i used a pair for the entire past season.  they were amazing.  sooooo light it was insane.  and mine held up really well.  my shells got pretty scratched up, but that was only because i hiked bc a ton and was tearing them up on rocks all day long.  i don't think i'll use a different boot ever again.  also, all the parts are the same as the old raichle flexons, so it's extremely easy to find replacement buckles and cables in all sorts of wild ass colors.

Full Tilt boots are amazing. They hold up very well. Are super easy to custom fit. And my favorite part is you can swap out toungs for different flexes. One of the best boots I've ever put on. Especially for Freeriding. Forget plug boots on revere camber skis... bad idea! Konflicts are sick too. Next years colors are sweet! Compared to the Krypton. Smoother flex and a lot lighter. Go with the Konflict!
