So I've been looking into boots for the 15/16 season and I have narrowed my decion down to either 2015 Full Tilt Drop Kicks or 2014 Nordica Ace 3 Stars. What I'm am looking for is a extremely comfortable boot, absorbs impact very good, and a all around good park boot. Please let me know which I should buy and why.

How about boots that fit?
The Ace and the FTs have a quite different fit - I can fit Aces with some work but I'll never fit an FT classic shell - which makes me think you've never had either one on your foot.

Wow, wtf double post half an hour apart, go go gadget NS web server :/
I've tried on both and they both fit very good.

Which one fits you better?

If both fit, I'd go Nordica because imo the liner's better. Also they seem to be of far better build quality. (I've owned fulltilts previously but now have Ace***)

yeah man, in the shop the might feel good, but you might need some work done after you ski them for some time. go to a boot fitter op
I had full tilts once and they destroyed my feet to the point where I couldn't ski (i got narrow feet but a sixth toe fucked up the fit).
Got the nordicas now and love them! perform incredible all around and sooooo comfortable.

If you want a stiff flex go with the nordicas if you want a medium flex go with the dropkicks
I've never used tilts, but i have nordica aces and they've been the best boot I've ever owned, highly recommend
I have the one stars right now. They are good but I would like more support so I might get the three stars as well. But Fulltilts I heard were also good but honestly like everyone else said go to a boot fitter and try on what best fits you. Just tell them what your looking for and they'll be able to further assist you. Good Luck.

If you are happy with the fit, and your boots have life, just grab a good booster strap, and maybe a powerwrap liner. I have 1 stars, but have both of what I mentioned, and the boot ski's great, and has a very linear flex, but still stiff enough to support my 205 lbs.

Thanks i'll look into that. I was just getting bad shinbangs but that's probably from bad landings.
I had Full Tilt Booters and they were alright, just extremely soft. Switched to the Ace 3 Star a year or two ago and I love them.
That being said, definitely go to an established, reputable bootfitter (not just any old person working in the boot department of the ski shop) and talk to them.
