I mainly ride park and right now i have dalbello voodoos which suck, are too heavy, and too small. i want a good park skiing boot, everyone i know says Full Tilt's the shit, ive tried on their boots and they seem nice but easily breakable and kinda difficult for me to get on, plus the price doesn't help... any other boot suggestions that anyone has ridden and are light, pretty much bomb proof and not above $500!

Its not they break easily they dont feel like theres enough material to withstand the kind of abuse they do, none the less full tilts are ill but pricy and i would actually recomend them if ya got some $$ if not then idk

do the dalbellos feel nice other than being too small? cause you should just stick with them; don't just jump on the full tilt bandwagon. try on il moros and rampages. il moros are stiffer, and if you put the stiff tongues in, they're really fucking stiff, like way to stiff for me. i have il moros.

Hahahahahahaha everyone who actually commented is in single or double digit posts, except one, and I can't believe that one didn't say it. Get a proper fitting boot, and put more effort into it than I kinda tried on a full tilt once, go to a boot fitter, and who gives a fuck if the boot is not marketed as a park boot, cause guess what, the exact boot, but before fulltilt was around was used by racers and pro mogul skiers. There is really no such thing as a park boot, its all a muthafucking sales gimick. I want fulltilts because everyone else has them, if it came out that t wall skied with a butt plug in his ass would u try that if it was labeled a park butt plug?
