I have the hot doggers but i way like 150, my friend has the booters and they have a thinner liner and less flex, so if ur looking for a lot of flex i wud get the booters.  The only problem wit the booters is that because there is such a thin liner it is easier to get shin bang.

about 3% of that made sense. yes the booter does have a higher volume fit and thinner liner. this doesnt mean theres "more chance of shin bang" and it flexes the most out of any full tilt, its the softest. i think it would be a good choice for you. its the cheapest too. i have the high fives and love them.

uh, you fail.

The booters are the softest flexing boot, they use the same liner as the rest of the line, it is not thinner. I would reccomend them for you because of your height, weight, and 100% park skiing.

The flex is perfect for me and i weigh 155 and am 5'11, and there is nothing softer in the FT line so you should probably go with the booters.

and to the person i quoted, my shins are doing just fine.

you can adjust the flex in all the full tilt boots. its not the liner that makes the boot softer its the tongue in the front, you can just buy another tongue and it will make the boot softer or stiffer.

i meant "more flex"  And im only saying that a couple of my friends have gotten shin bang from the booter liners.  That doesn't mean everyone will get shin bang from them.

talk about people not knowing what they are talking about.

The liner in the cheapest ful tilt is in fact softer then the hight end liner that is in the konflict, bumble bee ect.


 Basically, the booters will have a soft tongue and a softer liner.

 Konflict with the same tongue as the booter will be stiffer since the liner is more stiff and dense.


At least that's what I understand from the different liners that full tilt have to offer.
 

Also, next year booters have a tinnner toe box linner for wide foot people.

Ced is right, most of the stiffness comes from the liner. I can fold the liners of my booters like napkins compared to some of the higher end intuition liners.

But at your weight, I think the booters would be a great choice.
