actually, you are retarded. even if you get the popular, cool boot that everyone has and will make you pro and get rid of your mortgage payment, they will feel like shit if they don't fit your feet right. go to a bootfitter, try on some boots, and get the one that fits the best.

Then you go back to the professional fitter who does this kinda stuff for a living and get work done. Or you can listen to the advice of teenagers over the internet.

easy get both...wear an spk on one foot and an ft on the other that way everybody will think you are cool....

In all seriousness do not buy a boot based on labels. Ft and Spks might not even work for your foot...see a real bootfitter... to find out they should ask to see your foot, calf (no sock) take specific measurements, and ask you basic questions including intended use, type of skier...they should have various models from various manufacturers to choose from. don't limit yourself to just SPK or FT....

you need to go to the bootfitter and try on what you think fits your boot best. personally i would say stick with dalbello, i love my rampages. but on just the way the boots are made i would steer away from spk the two buckle i feel doesnt lock the foot down enough. the full tilt and dalbello both have a three buckle boot and that buckle over the ankle really locks it down i get no heel lift at all. then just try them on and see what fits. ft is lighter but to just a little bit narrow for my foot plus i heard the cables arent to reliable.
