UM IF IT FITS YOUR FOOT (obviously) THEN THEY WILL BE WORTH IT BUT IF YOU ARE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WHO TYPES IN CAPS AND DOESNT SEARCH WHEN IT HAS BEEN TOLD 100X THAT IF THE BOOT DOESNT FIT IT WONT BE WORTH IT BECAUSE YOU OBVIOUSLY ARE JUST PAYING FOR THE NAME AND IF YOU WANT TO DROP $400 BECAUSE YOU ARE HOT SHIT OR DONT WANT NAW SHIN BANG THEN GO FOR IT CUZ WHAT I HEARD FROM EVERYBODY IS IT CURES SHINBANG LIKE THAT AND THEY ARE THE BEST BOOTS ON THE MARKET THAT MONEY CAN BUY. ps if you have a wide foot get em

I love my 09s, a bit soft (but they're a #2 flex, which isn't even made anymore - the 2010s are a #4), but still super lightweight, great feel, super comfy, and they are really responsive. Of course, if they fit they're awesome, but if they don't fit, they'll be uncomfortable. Try them on and make sure they fit properly before buying. But, they are definitely worth it if they fit.

Of course they are worth it.

But it's also based on your foot.

Try going to a boot fitter and trying on all the boots that works for you, SPKs, Full Tilts, etc.
See what fits the best to you, you shouldn't buy Full Tilt JUST because it's Full Tilt
OMG FULL TILT, OMOMOGMOOMOG OMGOMOG ITS FULL TILT!!!

But again this is just my opinion.

I'm just going to repeat what everyone has been saying so people hopefully get the point.
The best boot for you is the one that fits your foot the best. There is no substitute for going to a legit shop and trying on a ton of boots and walking around in them for a while. Full Tilts are good boots but not the best for everybody. There is a ton of hype on NS because Tazzle Whizisch and Seth Morrison ride them.
Never, ever buy boots without trying them on!

8's are perfect. I got them on mine. Perfect for Park, Pow, and just shredding groomers.

full tilts actually have a very low instep so if he has a high instep he is fucked. that is all based on your foot.

That was unnecessary rigzz, especially after I helped you. I would truly love to know if I fit them, but I apparently can't.

IF you think FT's are too expensive, forget Dalbello.  $400-500 for a quality boot ins't bad.  Be glad you don't A/T, tele (esp. NTN), or race.  Serious $$$ for most of those.

You like my icon.

But as to the OP, I would only get them if your foot is done growing.  That's a lot of money to drop on boots if you're just gonna buy another pair next year cuz you out grow them.

Get some Dalbellos T-Hall jr.

But seriously, if they fit you, they are worth it, if they don't they are not worth it. Pretty simple.

And so if I have a low instep? This means they would potentially be better fitting obviously as long as all other aspects fit

I'm sorry what? 2 flex?
Why don't you have some money, buy some high top sneakers that you like and just attach some plastic bits to the soles so they will click in to your bindings?

dude shut the fuck up. Go to your local shop and get your god damn boot fitted. FULL TILTS MIGHT NOT BE THE BOOT FOR YOUU. GO TO YOUR SHOP AND TRY THEM ON AS WELL AS OTHER BOOTS, GET THE BOOT THAT FITS YOU BEST.
