These threads are pointless, boot features are irrelevant if they don't fit well and hurt.

I would go with the booters. I had the SPK,s, they were heavy, the liner pull cord came loose easy and they were really tight around the toe area.

Yes, but that makes no difference about the fact that the boots are heavy and the pull cord does not stay tight.

If the Full Tilts feel like a good fit, get them. If the Salomons feel like a better fit, get them.

If they feel about the same, get the style you like better. But they won't fit the same..

I've never had a problem with my pull cord loosening up and if you aren't a pussy they are fine for weight.

Try the bootfitter first. Go with whatever fits you the best, and not because of brand name or design.

Full Tilt Booter's flex is that of a Nike Air Force One. I like Full Tilt's fitting better, so I went with the First Chair, which I still find to be quite flexible even with a 10 flex tongue. I rock em in the park just fine.

I had spk's last year and I bought the booters this year and the booters fit well on my foot but where the liner wraps it left a bruise on the side of my leg. so I ended up taking the liner out of the spk and put it in the full tilt and it feels amazing around my leg but just a little looser on my toes, but a little better heal hold. is this good, ok, or is stupid as fuck.

You may want to mold the new liners, they will be much more comfortable.
