Im considering to buy the new Full Tilts Drop kick? I don't care about the look but how they perform? And are they soooo much lighter then the Salomon SPK?

I like it soft, comfort, cushy, shock absorber and does it perform as well as they say?

So should i buy the Drop kick?

Im not so good Im just learning misty, cork's and rodeo?

Then get something that fits from the closest store...

Seriously. Why does this boot appeal to you? Do you not understand that without actually trying the boot on, you are taking the biggest gamble on the most important part of ski gear?

yeah i have the hot doggers and the liner is much more comfy, thick and warm, the drop kicks are still very comfy and warm, just more flexable and not as good of a liner (will pack in easier, not as thick and no j cup ankle hold thingy), id say if your feet are still growing and you going to pay full price for them get the drop kick (IF THEY PROPERLY FIT YOUR FEET!!!)

You should definitely get your feet checked out at a local store to see what they recommend. If you were fitted for spk's last time then your foot is probably not the greatest for a FT boot. If you've got some serious cash to spend you should try Surefoot at Sjølyst!

I would modify Classics if I were you. Thicker Liner (and better liner imo) than drop kick. All ya gotta do is get the active bootboard and you got yourself a better boot for the same price. Of course thats my opinion. Best thing to do would be go to a boot fitter

Because ive been recomended and when i have the spk's on i do have many deadspot's, it just holds my ankle down. I bought it because of the pricc. It was on sale.

are you fucking kidding me?

every full tilt boot in the original shell has a 99mm last. keep in mind that the majority of their boots are in the original shell

all the others (high 5, booter, mary jane) have a 102mm last.

thus making your statement completely invalid

If SPK's fit your foot, there's no way you're going to feel comfortable in FT's. Tried both (SPK and Hot Dogger/Booter/Seth) last season and didn't last a minute in the SPK's, whereas the FT's felt comfy.
