I was just wondering if anyone new the exact difference between the Full Tilt Drop Kick and the Full Tilt Classic boot. Both are a 99 last in the old shell style. Both have a 6 tongue but the classics are a cheaper boot. The only thing i could think of was a difference in the liners. Any thoughts?

difference between drop kick and classic is the boot board. active boot board(drop kick) or rigid boot board(classic)...basically softer rubber vs harder rubber. tad bit better feel/transmission with rigid, a tad bit better shock absorption with the active.


also you can buy different bootboards for 25$ online if need be.

It's more than the boot board. The classics have the pro liner which is a lit better than the drop kicks which have the performance liner

No penthaus was right. They both use the basic liner. You might be thinking of the konflict. That uses the old shell but the pro liner.

They are the same other then boot board. Have they been recommended by a fitter that is the most inportant part.

It depends on how you ride, they both feel almost exactly the same

at least for me ... the comfort! soo comfortable it's unbelievable . however the flex is just the same , i had alpinas free 360 for a year before switching to full tilt and the flex is feeling pretty much the same from a 4 buckle to the ft tongue. (obviously depends on the softness of the tongue)
