Boot question

Hey guys, I'm looking to get some new FT's this year, and I really want either the Classics or Booters, and I don't know which one to get. I mostly ski park, but I ski a little bit of powder and groomer runs and stuff. I really like the Classics, but I don't know if spending that much more than the Booters is worth it. What's the difference between the flexes? Can you feel a difference? Thanks.

GOD DAMN IT!!!

i hate to sound like a dick, but, go fucking try them on!!

the booters have a completely different fit then the classics. and a non freestyle oriented boot that fits the best is better then a full tilt that doesn't fit right. YOU MUST TRY THEM ON!!!!!

but the differences are: the classic has the original 3 piece design, 6 flex tounge, solid bootboard and a 99mm wide sole

the booter has the influence design, a 4 flex tounge, active bootboard, and a 102mm wide sole


yes you can notice the difference, the 6 is a bit stiffer then the 4 but both will work in park fine.

its just all about which one fits right, because if it doesnt all of the special stuff wont mean shit and it will hurt you rather then help you.

and if both dont fit, then try a different company!

Ok thanks man, and sorry, I should have tried them on first, but my local shop doesn't have them in yet.

Get fit and it will be really clear what boot is best, and a non "park" boot is just as good as one marketed as a park boot if it fits well
