Yo, I need new boots, I have it narrowed down between Full Tilt Konflicts for 300cdn. or Nordica Supercharger Sparks for free.  I am a fairly aggressive skiier who hates shin bang with a passion... as does like everother skiier ever. From what i have heard the full tilts are fool proof but i don't have much info about the Nordicas. Any Suggestions?

1. Go to a bootfitter
2. Try on all the boots you are interested in
3. Buy the pair that fit your feet the best
4. Don't ski backseat

Yep, Nordicas and Fulltilts have a pretty different fit, so I would seriously try them on!

I ride Konflicts and they're fucking awesome. Better hope your feet fit in them though, or I hear they can be wildly uncomfortable.

so you really haven't tried anything on, have you? nordica and full tilt fit on completely different ends of the spectrum. full tilt being narrow and nordica being super wide.

go to an experianced bootfitter and he'll tell you what will fit your foot properly
