go into the store and try them, they are the polar opposite of boots when it comes to fitting... we cannot tell you that

try them on. it is more important to get a boot that fits than anything else.

personally i find that SPK's fit better for me thatn FT's, but i havent tried the new booters, which should be better for me

Rossi radical wc 150 best park boot ever made, and whatever size the person at the store says to get, buy them 2 sizes bigger, it will prevent toe and shin bang. These boots are the only boots on the market that fit everyone, as the name says, they are radical!!!!!!!

Don't wanna make another thread about boots, but I recently tried SPKs in my local bootfitter, but the salesman told me they didn't make the boots bigger than 29,5. That's just a little bit too small for me so does anyone know if they go up to 30?

it has to fit to be warm. but technically yes, the liner in the full tilt is warmer than the spk liner because the density of the liner in the full tilt is higher than the spk. higher density = more warmth.

but again, it has to fit your foot to be warm.

Nordica Ace of Spades > Everything else. Simple as that.

But serious, if you are still deciding check them out because they are the most amazing boot. Progressive flex makes things nice and soft in the park but once things get going they stiffen right up and are great.

In my experience full tilts are warmer than spks I live in montana and it gets really cold here and my friends who have spks complain about cold feet but in my booters my feet are always toasty
