How do you try on boots if there is no store nearby?

I want to buy some full tilts but I don't know where I can try them on. I live in Denver so does anyone know of any shops that sell hot doggers nearby? I think it would be dumb to buy boots without feeling how they fit first.

Do not make the mistake of ordering boots off the interwebz, especially FTs, which tend to be dimensionally challenged. You're only option really is to invest is tripping to a ski shop to try them on. A few dollars worth of fuel/ hours of times is worth it if it means you get comfortable, pain free skiing all season.

untracked.com they will send you two pairs of full tilts at once until you find the right size, you just have to keep sending them in, totaly legit

If you can make it to Boulder go to Larry's Boot Fittting. I hear he his one of the best in the buisness

Isn't the purpose of bootfitting to find a boot that fits you? Go to your local shop, support them, and find a boot that fits you. If it's not full tilt, bummer.

umm colorado ski and golf sells fulltilts, or did, so there has to be one near you, but if you can, and he isn't closed for the season, go see Larry

If you order boots of Backcountry.com or any of its affiliated websites you can return anything for no reason at all. So order some boots, keep all the packaging and try them around the house for a few days. If they don't feel right then send them back and try some other boots. Good luck.

The closest place to me that sells Full Tilts is eight hours away. I'm probably not getting FTs until I get a car.

find a picture online and shove your foot through your computer screen, if it hurts then they don't fit
