Very different fits even if your looking at the full tilt influence shell against the spk. Even though its only 2mm last different they still fit very differently. Obviously classic an spk are no where near the same so can't be compared. To be honest with you neither would be at the top of my list of boots even if they fit. There are much better more modern options available.

You really have to go to your local shop and try them on, I have friends who both have full tilt classics, one loves em and the other is getting new boots because they hurt his feet. It's all about what feels comfortable for you, and what fits on your feet well.

I have spk's, and I find them comfortable, but I haven't tried full tilts so I can't really compare.

bootfitter. also, you don't always need a park-specific boot. I have langes and they are the best shit ive ever worn.

Full Tilts and SPKs have a completely different fit. The standard Full Tilt last is 99mm which is featured on the Soul and the Original shells will deliver a very different fit to the 104mm lasted SPK. Even the wider FT Influence shell (102mm last) featured on the Booter and the High Five will fit differently to the SPK

This.

SPK or FT threads always get me. There is no way in hell your fit would fit both boots. They are POLAR opposite in shape/fit.

Get fitted. /thread
