I'm thinking of buying some full tilts at the end of this season and I am wondering what boot would be good for me. I have skied park for 2 years now and I'm motivated to progress more. Not sure if I should see a boot fitter or what else I could do.

threads like this should go into gear talk.. but since its already here i put in my thoughts.

it is hard to gauge someones perfect boot over the internet. what type of skiing are you into? why are you thinking of full tilts? there are multiple factors that go into boot selecting. unless you go to a boot fitter, you are gonna have to give more information for NS to help as much as possible

go to a ski shop to try them, find your size then buy them offline. you can find cheap good condition FTs in BST forum. i gambled on the size for mine and luckily got it right.

Okay thanks. That's what I was thinking but some advice never hurts.

I have been using the same Salomon SPKs for the last 4 seeasons.. They have been my true friends all along.. Also, I have heard both positive and negative things of both SPKs, Dalbellos and FullTilts so who knows. I think it depends on what kind of foot you have..

But consider this: do you like stiff or soft boots? And as the other ones said, go see a bootmaster or whatever you wanna call those people. Good luck

I was debating between full tilts and SPK's. I'll have to see what I prefer. Thanks

Alright because most of what I do is park and I'm looking for a nice soft flex.
