ive heard there were boots for freestyle skiing, are these the full tilts i hear about?
also whats up with them? i heard they are straighter up not bent forward and mroe flexible..is that all or this more? im just wondering if something like these would be worth getting in the long run

the salomon SPK is what you want.. im not really into the full tilt design. the spk is the most comfortable boot i have ever used. what they mean when they say freestyle boot is that they take out the ramp angle ( most of the time) ramp angle is when your heal is slightly higher then your toes. this helps skiing switch. they also cushion the heal so it doesnt hurt as much casing a jump. also the liners are softer. they tend to be softer but like full tilt and salomon both have higher levels that arent super flexable. Get a pair for sure it will save your shins im never going back to a stiff boot. they also handle charging groomers super good

full tilts are sick because you can change the tongues so that you can get the flex you want in different situations like if you want a park day and you want something softer you can put in a 3 or 4 flex tongue and if you wanna charge you can put in a 6 or 7 flex tongue.
