Full Tilt Booters

So, I went into my shop today because I've been having some problems with my boots lately.  I've had them for four years with no problems, but this year they are absolutely killing my feet.  Talked to the boot fitter and he said he would try to help out, but when he took my liner out of my boot he said it was basically shot to shit, and the boot board was also all torqued out of shape, and I could probably use a new pair of boots.  He measured me up and fit me with some Booters, Agent 80s, and Rossi SAS, out of which I can't really decide between the Booter and the Agent.  I have Agents now, so I know I like them, but the Booters felt amazing on my feet when I tried them on.  I'm going back on Thursday to try them on again and make a decision.

Does anybody have any experience with the Booter that could give me some insight? How they perform in/out of the park, durability, 3 buckles vs 4 buckles, etc?

dont get the booters
the middle buckle has trouble staying down and there are some other flaws in it because this is full tilts first year with this new mold. Get a different boot or wait and get the booter next year because it will be prime once they work out the flaws

I got them and the only problem so far is how soft they are, just need to upgrade tongues. I like them, i used to have SPKs, but ive only skied in them twice so far so we'll see how they break in.

i have the booters and i LOVE them they are the best boot i have ever skiied the flex is perfect and they feel like a rubber glove on my feet

however there were some problems with these boots (as in the middle buckle)
but no need to worry! full tilt has you covered! if the shop does not have the part then full tilt will send it to you for free! the part to stop the buckle from popping up that is

so overall i say they are great and i really reccomend you getting them if they fit you good!

hows the width feel compared to the spk's? because i have a pretty wide foot and im thinking about getting new boots but even the spk's are pretty tight on my foot.

Thanks for the help guys.  It sounds like the Booters are pretty good, with the exception of the middle buckle issue.  I'll let you know what I decide on Thursday.
