hey guys! getting some FTs tommorow, classics and dropkicks are both going for 350$ they both fit nice but the classic seems more comfortable, but the active boot board in the dropkick would be good for park.. and the drop kicks would probobly fit nicer when heat molded? also i wasnt sure about the drop kicks because there white and would look like shit in like a month. thanks! +K for help!

Get what fits best, if you say the classics fit better, go with them. Fit will count way more at the end of the day then a rubber boot board.

I'm honestly not sure, I only have tried (own) drop kicks, and have never tried the classics.

My guess is not much. Basically, if the classics fit you best, go with those for sure over the drop kicks. The rubber boot board is a minor detail, fit is far more important.

If they feel good, you've got them sized too big.

umm, ya the rubber thing is a gimmic, it has such a miniscule effect... But go with what is more comfortable.. and then get a size smaller...

I take the active boot boards out and put the plastic ones in, I feel a bit more connected to the ski...

Been fine on 70ft jumps...

Boot reviews aren't really that important, as people's experience with any particular boot will depend almost entirely on how the boot fits their feet. Full Tilts have a good reputation, are super light, and highly customizable. If they fit you, I would say go for it.

I have classics and i have knuckled 30fters decently hard and they did a fantastic job with the impact. Would defiantly recommend.

Great choice, and if your foot your foot needs some padding for landings, snag a pair of gel orthotics
