ive been using my full tilts for two full days now, and they still hurt as hell. Has this been a problem for anyone else? shouldnt they have adjusted to my foot by now?

Did you get them heat molded? Even after you get them heat molded it takes a little while for them to feel comfortable. Give it a week or two after you heat mold them and if they still hurt you prob need to go back to your bootfitter or get a new boot.

I can't believe i'm about to say this, but it is possible that Full Tilts don't fit your foot.

The first 4 or so days on mine were painful, got a lil shinbang and there was a pressure point on part of my right foot, but now after breaking them in for a few weeks they feel amazing, so just give them time to break in. Also did you go to a bootfitter or did you just buy full tilts because their full tilts?

i got mine, 2nd day on them nd had them heatmolded already, first day was quite painful in the heel area, had to stop every hr or two, today (day2) was better, only stopped for lunch, could still feel the pressure all day but it was bearable, and guess what...   no more shinbang !!!
i figure mine will pack out and break in a little more, id give them a bit longer and see how it works out.
and if you did go to a bootfitter id go and have them take a look at it if it doent go away, or even if you didnt id go.  with me, i tried on a friends pair, liked the fit and feel, and got a pair off of here, had them heat molded at a shop and then they put in superfeet and some heel lifters so theyd fit a little better.  going to a bootfitter always help, even if you didnt get the boot from them.

what he meant to say is that your feet do not fit full tilts.

exactly, just because they're cool and people on here are overly obsessed with them doesn't make them fit you, you need to try on a bunch of boots and pick what actually fits

Did you have a bootfitter tell you that full tilts would fit your foot, not just length-wise but width wise?

I had them till my feet grew to be too wide for them. They are a very skinny boot, and they don't fit a lot of people's feet.

false, his feet are flawed. you need narrow feet to fit full tilts, not full tilts fault. i have narrow feet and full tilts and i couldnt be happier. if my feet were any wider the boots would suck. narrow boots are for narrow feet, dont try to fit into full tilts if they dont fit.

haha, I hated the design and didnt even know that wallisch, hornbeck and many others used them, so it wasnt because they're full tilts i bought them.
I had rossignols, and tried the spk and full tilt and it felt so good. they got better today, and its only when i rail i gotta take a break sometimes. my friends thought they might be to slim, but they doesnt hurt when i jump.
Thanks for all answers, i'll try a couple of more days and if it doesnt work i'll go back to my old or buy other ones
