Pick the one that fits better or just go full tilts because tom wallisch wears them...

I tried on full tilts and spks because i was having problems with shin band elimination in the park too. I decided to get the full tilts because tom wallisch is so awesome and I don't really like mike douglas because Luke van valin is a better announcer. hope that helps

spk's are good, and cheaper.
i would pick the spk's, obviously because b-dog and e-dollo wears them (sarcasm).
and other sickassjibbers too.

Despite this almost certainly being a troll thread, I will offer some advice. SPKs are for wide feet, aka over 102mm. Full tilts are for thin feet, aka under 98mm. Go to a bootfitter and check which fits your foot properly. Personally I prefer the 3 piece design and elastic flex of full tilts, but you might enjoy having a traditional boot.

go to a bootfitter and get a boot that fits. if you have something that actually fits you are less likely to get shinbang.

there are a ton of other companies that make boots besides salomon and full tilt.

Ive got SPK Kaos boots and damn I reaally like them!

PLEASE, to anyone out there, don't just buy some full tilts online just because you wanna be like everyone else at the park (slight sarcasm), cause Ive been told that thay have a very specific fit, go try a bunch of boots on at a shop and make sure they fit good.

I have some salomon spk kaos and i really like them. kind of hard to get in and out of but when they are on they are real comfy and sick in the park. i have wide feet, thats why i didnt get full tilt.
