It depends on the boot some (Seth, First Chair, Konflict) are 98mm, others (Classic, High Five, Hot Dogger, Booter) are "wide last" which is 100mm. However, it's hard to be exact because most of the last is in the liner and when it's heat molded it changes to your foot slightly, so for someone with the Seth it might be 98mm but someone else might have a 99mm last with the Seth - it depends on the molding.

Pretty sure that's not right...

The last measures the shell, the liner doesn't affect it.

yes, but because of the way Full Tilts are they measure the last with the liner (the shell is REALLY thin, most of the boot is the liner). The measurement of my 09 FT Booter from the outside is 110mm, the shell is 2mm thick, so if you want to know the last of the shell it's 106 on the 09 26.5 FT Booter. But, like I said, the liner is what FT measures their last by (check their site - under specs the "last" is under Liner Features).

Bottom line is that Full Tilts are for narrow feet.

Next year they may be making a mider last model or two, but for all of us who need a 100+, look elsewhere. I have tried to ride Raichles and FTs in my life and I just have to go back to Heads and Technicas for the last width on a couple models.

The best boot for a medium to wide foot in my opinion is the Head mojo pro.

Head and Technica are no longer the only "wide" boots... This years salomon line, nordica line, and even langes new lineup (not counting the comp series) are much wider boots then they have been previously.

Fulltilts are a narrow boot though...i wish i could fit them :P

98mm last.
Last is all shell, nothing to do with liner

Thinner liner in a few models as explained above which makes them feel wider.

They can easily be blown but the plastic is thin so can't go too far with it

race plugs are anywhere from 92-95mm.  98 is a wide plug.

The head Mojo is based off the Head Raptor Rs Mould (98mm). This is a new shell they created around 3-4 years ago. The raptor rs is more of a recreational race/all mountain boot which is absolutely huge in the cuff area. Head also make the Raptor RD which looks similar but is a 95mm last, the shell is 13mm thick!!! and comes in a 130 and 150 flex (adjustable to 160). Ouch...

And narrow legs.

I was over at Larry's in Boulder deciding which boots to get this season and i had to get Dalbellos again cause FT's literally would not buckle around my calves, which are disproportionally large compared to the rest of my body. even with the longest buckle straps they wouldnt budge, and if they had been able to buckle the tonge wouldve been all out of place because of the wonky shape with abrupt angles that they use

probably awesome boots, too bad ill never be able to use them
