My boots are hella old and hella soft . Looking for recommendations for a stiff boot for all mountain park skiing. Heard on the streets it makes life a lot better. What flex would y’all recommend 120’s. Size 26.5 155 lbs 5,6
 
full tilts

i prefer the first chair series

EDIT: first chair 10s from past years would be a good choice but 26.5 is common size and sometimes hard to find. I think this years first chair 10 equivalent is like the first chair 130

Flex is not standardized across all brands, nor even within a single brand.

You will need to sit with your favorite boot-fitter and see what flex is right for you (meaning: find the stiffest boot that you can still properly flex).
 
As mentioned, first chair 10’s are great. Il moros are sorta hard on your shins. Almost everyone i know that ride them have some issues with shinbang. Bootfitters are usually the way to go. Your legs will thank you
 
In my experience full tilts are generally softer than other brands (even the stiffest tongue).

One thing to keep in mind is that boots will flex stiffer when they're actually outside in the cold.
 
Go to a boot fitter. I got a pair of boots without trying them on (Atomic Overloads) and they fit me like shit. Never again. Don't make the same mistake I did.
 
Ft first chats are awesome, if they fit good get the 10’s, but the best ski boot is always the one that fits the best and is the most comfortable to you, the brand doesn’t really matter
 
Its, Ya BOI BLAin tALEnt thinking about sending first chairs CHEAP if i Can FINd a pair CHeap yA boi all about CHEap ski gear. NEVa tried them on B4 but 26.5 full tilts more like full send. HopE theY run TRU to SIZe.

Bootfitters are always the way to go. I’m a bootfitter and still go to a bootfitter when getting new boots.
