Full tilts: really that good?

All summer long I looked and overlooked what boot i was going to buy.  I looked e-v-e-r-y siingle model on the market.  Finally, the full tilt caught me up, they were looking ''the perfect boot'' as everybody says. When I was trying them on in the store, everything was perfect. I fitted them by a pro boot fitter, every thing seemed alright. This weekend, i tried them on the slopes, and didnt liked it. First my tonge was way too flex, I'm not even able to imagine someone ski with a boot flex like this. i did not find those so comfortable too. I hate to buy boots: You can never know if they really fits you
i think that everybody are on full tilts just because they got a good pro team.

they are great IF they fit!!

and for some reason i think i have heard that intuition doesn't recommend footbeds in their liners as well, but i dont know if this is truth or not...

maybe its just they dont recommend footbeds while MOLDING the liner?? that still wouldnt make that much sense though

When I got my FTs fitted the boot fitter insisted on footbeds.

There's lots of ways you can do it - either footbed inside the liner or actually outside the liner and mold the liner over the footbed.  That last option works well with low volume footbeds like ALINE.  Both of which are approved by Full Tilt.

i love the 3 piece design but i use krypton pro id's because they have more volume for my bigger foot and you can get them stiffer. my k-pros are modded to be about a 140 flex and they're so sick

dont say they are bad if you havent used them.  the only thing which could logically break is the cables, which are mad cheap.  They are by far the most comfortable boots i have tried, and when compared to the dalbello's at the bootshop, they felt 10x better.  They had NO pressure spots on my foot and they had a nice, nautral flex.

Anyone have any comments comparing Salomon Kreation or Kaos to Full Tilt Booters or Hotdoggers who have ridden both?

You cannot ride both and have them fit properly.  They are 2 completely opposite boots that the same person cannot wear.  There are numerous threads on this.  Use the fucking searchbar shitstain.
