I am looking into the FT Konflict or High Five.  Has anyone skied either of these boots?  I do not ski park, I ski mostly trees, powder and groomers, backcountry.  Everything but park really.  I ski on some ARMADA JJ's.

Be sure to try them on first, you don't want boots that don't fit properly, no matter how cool they are. Out of those two I'd go with the Konflict, the stiffer tongue and active boot board will make it perfect for BC cliffs and tree jibs and charging hard on the mountain.

Yea. I will deff try them on first.  I was stoked to just see that a store in my area will carry FT boots.  This was not the case a few weeks ago.  Thanks for the information.

i rode konflicts last winter. they're the shit. super comfortable and super strong flex. the high five is a great boot too. the rubber boot board doesn't really make a difference, but it doesn't hurt if you take huge airs all the time. the big selling points of the konflict over the high five are the metal buckles. the plastic buckles are good, but they will definitely break easier than the metal ones, especially if you ski a lot and are hard on your equipment, like most of us on this site. so if you're trying to save some cash, the high give is a great choice. but if you want the best thing you can buy, check out the konflict. hell, even check out the first chair. it's a bit stiffer and a killer all mountain boot.

conflicts because they have metal buckles i have the booter wich have platstic buckles and they keep breakin on me deffinetly go try them on first though because fulltilts can either be the most comfy boots in the world or the worst
