The different models are just different ratings of how stretchy they are. I chose to go with the World Cup model because I am a fatass (210) and I need the stiffest boot I can get.

How much do you weigh? Also, are you riding park only or are you hitting cliffs too?

Either soft or medium depending on how good a skier you are. If you're just a beginner/not an aggressive skier then soft, if you're more advanced and skier aggressively then go with the medium.

booster straps make stiff boots act more like full tilts. if you are looking for more stiffness then get a stiffer tongue and stick with the velcro straps.


not sure if this is what u want but just an fyi.

yep should help, with my fulltilts i put the strap on the liner instead of the tounge and it makes the liner fit so much better around my calf
