Classic Pros or Drop Kicks (or another model)?

I’m upgrading from my current FT boots. Both the drop kick pro and classic pro fit well for me. I’m wondering what model boot should I go for if I do 60% mountain skiing, 40% park skiing?
In general, I ski downhill more than park because of the friends I usually ski with aren’t park skiers. But when I ski alone I ski park the whole time. If I do a bit more downhill should I go for the hybrid of the classic pro or go with the softer flex drop kick pro?

Bruh, read. Both fit well and basically the same. Near enough that going for one of the other would make no difference to me. So crazy idea, how about we read?

English isn’t my strong suit I’m failing. Also my immediate reaction when I see threads about fulltilts is it’s a kid asking if he should just get them and hasn’t ever actually tried them on

"Both the drop kick pro and the classic pro fit well for me". He's just asking which one he should buy because both fit well.

I think those two boots are actually the same. The only difference is the flex. You could buy either and replace the tongue if it is too soft/stiff.

Same boot. Just different flex and color.

Okay that’s what I was wondering. As far as I could tell they were the exact same boot other than the tongue. I didn’t know for sure though. The color way on the classic pro is way better than the all blue drop kicks imo.

I think that the classic pro would be better because it doesn’t have a normal tongue, but it has the wrap around tongue, so you can make the boot fit perfectly to your leg/foot

They both have wrap liners, the regular DK has a tongue liner but he asked about the pro. And certain peoples legs don’t get along with wrap liners.

Maybe consider the First Chair 120? Same fit but you get the stronger liner which will be even better ripping around and replaceable gripwalk soles, then if you wanted it softer for the park, for some reason, you could get the 100 or 90 tongue too. Just a thought to put in your head.
