Full Tilt: Booters vs. Classics

Hey I'm looking to buy a new pair of Full Tilts, and I have a wider foot so I'm looking into the classics and the booters cuz they're the two 102mm FT offers. I used to ski some old 4 piece Technica's but they were just too big for my feet, needing all sorts of inserts just to prevent movement. Anyone know how the two relate?

I'm 5'10 160 and I ski all-mountain. I play around in the park on the east coast but ski the moguls and the backcountry when I ski take a trip out west once a year. This is part of the reason full tilt has been so appealing: the easily adjustable stiffness. Any thoughts? Please and thank you.

The Classic has a 99mm last. Buy the Booters and get a stiffer tongue /thread

Classic is not a 102 mm last I believe it is like the rest of their lineup.

For actual advice, go to a local shop and try on some boots (don't go in with your mind set on Full Tilts, you could be missing out on something that would be better for you) and let the boot fitter do his work.

Oh ya you're right about the classics my bad, and I went to one today who had me try on some nordica ace of spades aswell. Know anything about those? I like the full tilts because of the adjustability, and the ace of spades fit about the same as the booters.
