If I was you I wouldnt buy expensive boots that Im going to wear only one year. I own konflicts and I just LOVE 'EM, but I recommend buying some cheap -not that great- boots first and when your growth stops, then buy full tilts. My feet growth stopped when I was about 17 but its personal when yours stop.

you realize SPKs fit nothing at all like full tilts do, right? that said, i still give it a 10% shot the kid actually fits in full tilts anyway.

This.

Just get boots that fit. Look at brand afterwards. I have full tilt's and love them, and would HIGHLY reccomend them to anyone who they fit. But dont get them just to get full tilts.

If you can find them for cheap, they fit, or if your parents are buying them, then go ahead. But there are all sorts of other good boot brands out there, dont limit yourself.

I personally don't like the fit of Full Tilt boots and love my SPKs despite the build quality, try them on!

Not surprised. FT's and SPK's are liek apples and oranges. If you fit into spk's then full tilts def wont fit your foot

Completely agree, but is more of an issue with the shape of the tongue and toe bang. SPK + Ghost would be so sick.
