Hey ns, is the booter lower performance than the other full tilts? I know what ever boot fits the best is the best but i was curious why it was cheeper than the rest. How does it compare to a boot like the drop kick? Thanks, plus k for responses!

It is a wider boot. Go to a boot fitter. Don't buy Full Tilt unless they fit you right. A Dropkick and booter are completely different and fit very different.

The quality of the Booter is on par with other Full Tilts. The liner is the same on the Booter as all other boots in the Full Tilt range. The Booter features aluminium buckles and ladders, so its buckle quality is on par with the higher end FTs like TWalls or Seth Mos. But then when you consider its not got a full rubber sole only a heel block, it ends up being more or less on par with other FT boots for quality.

thanks man, how big of a difference does it make that the booter has 5 ribs when the rest have 7?

Uhhh the booter has a significantly cheaper liner. The booter is more the equivalent to the drop kicks. If you are looking for the higher end version, check out the high fives

Mainly the liner and heel piece.

I used to have booters before I fixed my flat footed problem (which in turn caused my foot to be wider), and the liners were still great. I never had a problem, and honestly if I had a wider foot still, I would rather have booters than toms.

While the cable system is nice, I noticed no difference between that and the buckles, which were easier and faster to strap
