Hey whats up. Im looking at buying last years drop kicks, classics, or tom wallisch model boots.
I really dont see much of a diffrence between either of them.
I need somebody's help deciding which boot is the best for me
im 5'5 115 lbs. I live in MN so no big kickers or anything. I spend all my time in the park except on some groomers.
Thanks to all in advance

go with the drop kicks, or hot doggers (tom's boots). Either will really be good for you, and when it comes down to it i would go with whichever you could get a better deal on.

pretty much this. the main differences between them is the flex. also i think the footbed is more freestyle oriented but im not 100% sure.

well the drop kick and clasic both have the performer liner while the twall uses the pro. This is the big difference, it will effect the fit. But the shell is the same for all 3, so really its just one boot option.

Your best bet is go to a fitter with no boots in mind and let him recommend some boots for you. Good bootfitters will recommend 3 boots at most for you. If a full tilt is not one of those 3, then its not the boot for you.

Overall, you are only looking at one boot there, go to a fitter and have him pick the best boot for you.

You live around the cities in Minnesota? Go to Pierce skate and ski in Bloomington, MN.
I been working in Aspen,Co last two years. I still will go back to that shop because I have not been in any other shop that does a better job fitting boots.
At the very least go to the store and ask if they have time to size your feet and make some recommendations for boots or sizes. They will be more than happy to help a fellow skier.
 
They are hands down the best boot fitters in MN if not the entire Midwest area.
