Get fitted.  They fit me, so yes, they are the sickest boots ever.  I ride Konflicts btw, not like it matters though, just go try some on.

I have never tried them, but I've heard they are quite narrow.

Yes they are as good as everyone says, but only if you have narrow feet.  If you go to a boot fitter and they don't happen to have any Full Tilts then try on some Dalbellos, because they have a similar narrow fit.  I have Booters btw.

just try them on they are sooo light, and the intuition liner molds so they can fit a bit of a wider foot.

my feet are much to wide for full tilts, however, thankfull to my friend mr. boot grinder, they fit like money.

boots are meant to be punched and ground.  it makes boot fit go from good, to dope sauce.

They are great if they fit, but if they don't fit then they aren't so great

Yeah... If you have a decent sized calve or lower leg muscles full tilt are unbearable. Its b/c the top buckle creates a crazy pressure point

well i do have a very very wide foot, and very meaty calves, so they probally wouldnt fit, and they didnt have any 29.5's but i tried on last years technica agents, and they fit real nice, but there to soft for me, im a big kid, around 250lbs, so i need a stiffer boot i think, so im gonna look at another place and try an all mountain boot, like a nordica or something

ahhh what? that sucks, i wanted to get some FT's soon but if they're gonna hurt my calves then no way. i'll try them out anyways just to see though, hopefully this isn't entirely true.

maybe try the dalbello krypton crosses, similar boot but a little wider and a higher instep. i couldnt fit into the ft's but kryptons felt fine. if not try the agents, protons, or a salomon boot. look for somthin 90-100 flex, that is if you like something around that range, but they all come around there and are similar to some ft's

I have FT Booters and they put my Dalbello Krypton Rampages to shame. They are pounds lighter, and the liner is sooo much more comfy. The flex is so smooth and the fact you can buy new tongues with different flexes is sick!

They are the best boot for people that have small feet

if they fit, they seem pretty sweet.  i actually prefer the dalbello krypton pros though.  same style shell, same intuition liner, but they have beefed up the buckles.  i think the buckles are a weak point on the fulltitts.

i've seen 250lb black people tearing up the mountain with FT's, so what you are saying can't possibly be true!
