hey so I've got these boots

http://www.slopeshop.com/ViewProduct.aspx?productid=2451

I need to figure out if they're "soul" or "original".....heres a link to the ft site that determines it

http://fulltiltboots.com/ski-boot-parts

Also; what do the tongues of the full tilt boots equate to in terms of flex?

ex. is flex 6=60 flex 10=100 etc? or is it different?.....here's the link to ft's site selling the tongues if it helps

Thank you for looking; I'll give +K to anyone who can help me out! Thanks alot

You posted this in Ski Gabber and didn't believe anyone when they told you it was the Original shell....

Those are from 2009, so they're going to be originals. As far as i'm aware, full tilt only made what is now called the "original shell" until 2011.

As for the flex, all companies have slightly different flex indexes anyway, so any correlation the full tilt flex index has with another company's index is essentially meaningless. If you really want to know how flexible other tongues are going to be, go try them on, or compare them to other boots you have ridden. Or ask others who have ridden multiple boots to help you compare flex.

Those are actually the sickest boots of all time.

But really, theyre classic shells.
