So just bought pair of full tilt booters. I have skied last 2 years with SPK so how different it is to ski with that loose boot as the booter is after pretty stiff SPK, any comments? And any tips how i should tune the booters up if they arnt good. Is the heat modifition worth of its prize? Thanks for answers

do they actually fit good? my understanding (may be wrong) is that SPKs are alot wider than FT.  and i think heatmolding is def worth it, i paid 15 dollars to skip a couple weeks of break in pains, seems worth it to me, esp seeing were gettin towards the later end of the season (sad as it is)

1. Definitely a different fit (8mm in width)
2. Definitely get the liners moulded

If they're too soft you can always get a different tongue

Yeah the fill tilt interchangeable tounge is a very nice feature. The salomon SPK has a very wide toe box. They designed it that way so that you can move your toes around while grinding a rail for better performance and balance.

Bring your boots into a shop and have them heat em up for you.

Cheap SPK's
