Go to a boot fitter. They are two extremely different fitting boots.

listen to this. Your reply is probably going to be, but i live so far from any ski shops. Well any amount of travelling to get your boots properly fitted will be time well spent. if you do get fitted and there needs to be any work done on them normally it will more than likely be free.

Seriously. I smash my head against a wall at all these threads. BOOTFITTER. Don't buy a boot for looks, don't be that guy. Because everybody know's you'll be back here in a week or two with a thread about how your boots are uncomfortable, and you hate Full Tilt.

I own both spks and full tilts. And it's really hard to say which I like more. I think that spks are more comfortable, but that of course I don't get shin bang in my full tilts. Overall it comes down to if you hate shin bang or toe bang more really

or better yet get boots that fit and learn to ski and you wont have either shin bang or toe bang.

Crazy thought but it might just work
