i have the booters which are the super soft park boot and i love them, but you can always just get a different tounge and completly change the stiffness

Well holy fuck, tell us are you a 130lb feather or a 350lb fatty.  Since you know fatties can flex a stiffer boot a whole hell of a lot easier.  It just really helps knowing some information first if you want an answer.

holy fuck dude, read my post

it says i have the booters (flex 2) and love them for park because theyre nice and soft. if you want them softer, which you probably will, the #2 flex is nice and flexy without being mushy.

there, happy?

i am the same height and weight. the #2 is perfect for me because i ski 80% park and like a nice soft playful boot that i can flex. if you want something stiffer for charging but still soft in the park the #3 would probably be perfect.

I have camos and use them mainly for park unless I go out west. I love them but they are a little on the stiff side compared to other park boots. It's all preference though. It kinda depends on what you are used to. What boots did you use to have and how did you like the flex on them?

my other boots were a softer flex, but didn't fit properly

they were way too big. i went to get fitted, found my size, and then came home and found cheaper prices online

Have you tried on all those boots at a store? Because they all fit differently. Im all for buying online to save money because that's what I did but you need to make sure you are getting the absolute best boot for your foot. For example if you have a fairly wide foot then the Full tilts may not fit you well. Just something to look into. Getting a good fitting boot is probably the most important piece of ski equipment you can buy.

Full Tilt doesn't really make a stiff boot. I have the Bumble Bee Pro's and they are one of their stiffest boots ( 6 of 10 ) and they are still waaayyy soft. I am about 190 lbs and about 6'2" and I wouldn't get anything softer than the Bumble Bee Pro. I would assume from your size and the fact that you're asking if this boot is " too stiff " that you probably want a really soft boot. I would recommend that you either get the Booter or the Konflict or get a different tongue rated at a 4 if you want something that'll handle better all mountain or a 2 if you don't mind compromising performance in other areas for a super soft park boot. Also, make sure you've actually tried on this boot. Its been said before in this thread, but this is a narrow boot and if you have a wide foot, be ready to get a heat fit at a bootfitters or just look to get a different boot.

im 5'10" and 140 lbs, i ski last years agent 80's they are good for park adn decent for all mountain.
i wish they were a little stiffer for all mountain. but there is def no way they will be too stiff for you in park, unless you ski like a little school girl.

Yeah basically. They have the same flex tongue(#2). The only difference may be the liner. Some liners are thicker than others. They are all intuition though. Check the website and you will see what I mean. But all the full tilts have the same shell.
