well the spks are roughly 104mm lasted and the full tilts roughly 98mm lasted so pretty much the same boot in every way, choose the one that u like the look of the most

booters are actually 102mm lasted

I had spk's last year and ended up having to ice my shins after every session.

I'm going to try the booters this year.

The booters also have a way softer flex, and those sick intuition liners.

Obviously.

I wish FT would make the drop kick in 102mm wide.
Just cause i have fat feet doesn't mean I can't be a ducks fan.

And if you don't have a legit bootfitter for miles upon miles around, read through the "How to buy ski boots" Thread that is clearly stickied and then make an education decision based on what you've learned. And whatever you do don't guy buying a shitty fitting boot with a dickload of features when theres a fantastic fitting boot your thinking about. Great fit>Features

The classic FT are a good option exactly the same as the T-Wall B-Balls, only difference is the t walls have a wider toe.  but both still have a 99mm last

The soft toe would be really nice. But toebang can just be prevented by tightening your boots anyway. ...and avoiding backseat landings of course.

Oh there different colours too but I thought that was obvious and by T-Wall B-Ball I was talking about the Tom Walish hot dogger ski boot not the event held at Greenhills school where the Greenhills students team up with a special persons for a carnival-like atmosphere.  Hope that clears things up

if hes goes to a boot fitter he might walk out with boots that dont match his outriggers, and then he wont be able to afterbang as well... ffs just buy what looks best!!

FUCKING SEARCHBAR. I've seen at least 10 threads on this same exact shit in the past week.

and regardless of what dumb shit you decide to ask on ns, everyone will tell you to go to a bootfitter.

Would you ever buy a car if you didn't know what it even looked like. same. fucking. concept.
