you will get the best results if you order the spk kaos in the same size as your shoe size.

This has already been said so many times, but, the best boot is the one that fits your foot best. DO NOT buy full tilts because they're good boots and everyone raves about them if you don't know how they will fit on your foot.

He is completely right. I had a chance to try on the SPK's because we carry them and 2 Full Tilts at SIA Vegas and at another show in Rhode Island and my foot felt great in the SPKs. The SPK is new technology that had a wider toe box for increase movement which gives you better feel on rails. It also has an upright stance that helps decrease shin bang and help while landing/ skiing switch.

The full tilts are the same boots as the Raichle's from the 70's. Unchanged. There are not as high performance boot as the SPK's in my opinion. Also a little narrower. Try on a pair of SPK's and you'll fall in love.

if your foots wider i'd go with the spk's but if your foots more narrow then i'd go with the FTs but you should deff try them on and see which one you like better

It's getting to the point where these threads should be deleted because they don't contain enough info for ANYONE to make a constructive comment outside of 'bootfitter'

I use my SPKs for everything here in whistler and they work great for the type of pow skiing that I do. Not really charging but skiing pretty fast at times and dropping some fairly sizable cliffs. However, they fit my feet well and I don't weigh 200 pounds!

They are great on everything but charging.  Ripping hard lines showed how soft they were, but pow is a breeze.  The SPK Pro is a bit stiffer though if you were looking for a park boot that you can ride everywhere.
