Hey guys,

I just bought a pair of full tilts in the internet and the lenth is perfect just the width is too small for my foot.

I felt it immediately, when i walked with the boots for 10 minutes it went better but i still felt it, and i could imagine ill feel it much more when im skiing and landing after a jump...

do you think ill get used to the boot after riding for some time or do i need to go to a bootfitter and let him change something at my boot?

To buy another boot is no solution for me since i have a huuge shinbang and tried it already with numerous boots...

Thanks for your answers,

Niko

i cant tell you how to fix your fulltilts but i can tell you than the salomon spks are for sure wider so you might want to get fitted into a pair of those if you can.

getting them heat molded might help your situation a little bit

get them heat molded and have the boot guy put a thick rubber cap over your toes. this will make more room in the toe box portion of the liner. and you might need to get a grind. talk to a good boot fitter

The liner may pack out a bit after a while, but you will probably have bunions by the time that happens.  Grinding is probably your only option or your best option I should say.

check the shell fit?  and just because shin bang has been a problem doesn't mean FTs are the only magic fitting boot for you...where has the shin bang been in what boots?

They have a narrow fit. Not everyone's foot fits into that shape comfortably. SOme of my friends go to boot fitters and have them blown out in trouble spots and most likely this is what you will have to do.
Every boot fits differently and you should be sure you feet enjoy being in what you bought. Or you should be sure enough work can be done on them to ensure your feet have a good time, because if your feet are not happy, YOU are not happy.

If you have to keep those boots, then shell work is the only option. Expect to pay a decent amount for a shop to heat up and expand the width in the shells for you.
It isn't ideal to blow the shell when it isn't just a pinpoint spot (i.e. the whole side), but that sounds like your only solution if you can't get more boots.

Alternately try to sell them here and buy a wider boot.

Moral of the story: bootfitter.

They have intuition liners, before doing anything, get them molded, and ski on them for a few days.

My friends brother said that it took some time for the boot to fit with your foot. He sais it was hurting very bad before the boot finnaly was fitting to his foot.

Just try to use them as much as you can or get them heat molded.
