Full tilt growth spurt

I doubt many NSers have these because they can't be too much of a performance fit, but some older guys might have gotten them for their kids?  Anyway, I think its an amazing idea, quite counter-industry in complete FT style, and would have saved my parents hundreds of dollars.  My only question is why did it take this long to develop?

it probably took so long to develop because what company doesn't want more of their product to be sold and by selling an adjustable boot they dont end up making as much money because instead of buying 3 different boots they buy just one and the company doesn't make as much money

Boots like these have been around for a while now. FT is simply branding their name on another mold plus adding their flex tounge. Good idea if they can get the idea out there. From what ive seen from adjustable boots is that the liners tend to wear faster b/c they must be able to adjust sizes.

have your moms tell their mom friends! I was skeptical at first but with the FT tongue coupled with a legit (and light) custom heat moldable liner they're dope for little rippers!

Like mentioned above these boots have been around for a while thanks to Roces, but with poor advertising and lack of distrabution very few shops care to carry them. Full Tilt has a much better marketing team in Josh and Jason so I expect the boot to take off in the future.

^ Thanks! Our engineer has also put some good ole FT tech into these little guys. There is now a new tongue with corrugations just like the adult boots and also an Intution liner that lightens it up immensely! So everyone tell your moms that you found your little bro/sis there new boots for the next few years and now there's more $ to buy more stuff you! ha
