Whats up people,
out here looking for a new set of boots, wondering if anybody can tell me the main difference between the two boots, I haven't been able to find any legitimate reviews on either of them. Personally i'm looking for a boot that will be fine in the park but great for sending around the resort all day. Let me know what everyone things

The 8 and 10 are the different flex ratings between the boots,so the 8 is a medium stiff boot at about a 100-105 flex rating on more traditional 4 piece boots. The 10 is roughly a 115-120.
However the most important thing that you should be doing is researching reputable boot fitters in your area and settling upon the boot that fits your foot like a dream

Have tried both of them on and they feel great, other boots have felt good too, but I like what Full Tilt does and stands for and would like to support their company, appreciate the advice big time, completely agree

I’ve looked over the specs myself on this same question. The only difference appear to be the 8 vs 10 tongue and the power straps used. The shell thickness is even prob the same considering they pretty much have the same listed weight.

thats what ive been wondering. It does appear to be that the only difference is the flex that they come with, I cant find too many other discrepancies
