both are 99mm last, but the toebox on the TW is bigger. i’ve heard some people say that the whole boot fits a little wider, but idk.

If they fit the same and budget allows get the TWall. Replaceable soles are your friend.

Is the booster strap really necessary on full tilts?

imo drop kicks and classics > the boots made on the Evolution or Soul mold. the classic/dropkick shell has a much better feeling flex than the soul shell the twalls use, my twalls felt like theyd load up and fold randomly and when skiing hard and the side to side flex feel was super weak. the non replaceable sole sucks but just boot up in the lodge with all the boomers

so because of the whole bodie miller full tilt thing ive been on a raichle/full tilt researching kick for a few years, basically the soul shell uses way less plastic in certain areas than the classic. I'm guessing that common problem areas were shaved down to make it an easier sell when people put them on in stores because most consumers want a boot to fit and be comfortable out of the box and aren't willing to go through a little extra effort to have a shell punched and worked over by a boot fitter

It most likely will. The booster strap is to synch the top of the boot tight. In my experience the tighter I crank the booster strap, the less I have shin bang in my full tilts. Yes, the full tilt flex is soft, but you want every part of the boot to be secure on your leg/foot area
