the one that fits your foot. full tilts and spks fit completely different. if it doesn't, you're going to have terrible shin bang and wish you spent more money

they're not the only two park boots in existence either. and they're certainly not the only boots around. open your options. If both of those cause you unimaginable pain what would you do?

Good thing you learned your mistake.

Anyways, you don't need SPKs or FTs to ski park, so who cares.  Just get boots that fit and flex well.
