Full tilt booter...too soft?

I'm looking at buying the full tilt booters online. I ski mainly park, but try to get in the bc as much as i can. I weigh 145 lbs and 6 foot. Is this boot going to give out on switch landings or be too soft overall? I really like soft boots, but I don't want to get a boot thats too soft, and gives me trouble.  Anyone that has tried these boots or has any feedback about them would be greatly appreciated. +karma

And please please do not post go to a bootfitter, because i literally have nowhere to try on these boots, or many other freestyle boots for that matter.

You could always try them and see how it goes.  The glorious thing about full tilts/dalbellos is that in reality, there is not a set flex to them.  With just a purchase of a different tongue you have a completely different boot.  Because of that, it's not such a risk to just give it a shot, unlike classic boots.  Now the booters are the softest in their lineup, but I will leave that feedback to someone that has skied the booters personally.

dude i skied non stop back country with konflicts last year and 4 (booter stiff) tongues.  They worked great.  If you have really stiff skis, bump up a tongue, other wise just ski them.  and as for park they'll be fine.

The booter uses a 2 rating tongue, not the 4.  You are probably thinking of the hot dogger, which uses the 4 rating tongue.  I could be wrong, but i don't think it comes with a spare 4 tongue.  But you can always get extras.

yeah, you're right.  thanks man.   I recommend getting a couple pairs of tongues anyways, because it just makes the boots that much more dope.
