Im looking into getting some of next years full tilt boots. I can't go into a boot fitter because well there isn't anywhere to go. I looked for all the dealers in oregon on their site and there is no dealers in oregon.

I wear about a 26.5 what would that be full tilt?

All help appreciated

find the shell length of your boots, its in mm ussually on the  side of the heel,

Full Tilts Shell Lengths-

29/29.5 -  326 mm
28/28.5 im not sure i will assume about 318 or 319 mm
27/27.5 - 310 mm
26/26.5 - 301 mm

hope this helps

I was a 27.5 in rossignol boots, just a little tight, but in the full tilt i am a 28.5.

they fit a little small, other ppl on this forum said they fit narrow, but i have a VERY wide foot, and after the boot was heat moulded it was amazing.

also make sure you get it heat moulded. Fits 10 times better

26.5 = 8.5

Take a trip to a mountain that has a FT dealer at it to get them though.

boots are funny though which s why you really need to try them on.

I wear a size 10 shoe, but use flexons that are 26.5, or 8.5.

I wear an 11.5 shoe, normally a 28 Krypton, but had to get the 29 FT's. I didn't even have a finger of space behind my heel when shell sized.

How did the boot feel before it was heat moulded?

And does anyone know who stocks Full Tilts in Whistler?

were they really tight before they were heat moulded? how would i know if the heat moulding would work when trying them on? and finally, do all the dealers do the heat moulding?

They where alot tighter around my instep, and my upper calf, but then when they heat mould it, it goes all soft then it expandes into little gaps especialy around the anckle.

The boots must be comfortable before putting them on, the the heat mold will make it better.

All of the dealers should, but some are better than others, most boots are heat mouldable, its just in most boots its around the ankle and toes, but in the full tilt the WHOLE liner is heat mouldable

Hope it helps

There is a huge difference between molding stock lienrs and molding intuition/full tilt/ id liners.

Heat moulding  regular liner prettymuch meen packing out the liner right in the shop when the  intuition/ id/ full tilt/g-fit ect will actuallly fill the extra room where there is some and pack out where it need to pack.
