ok i was in canada and saw these boots for like 300 canadian. i was like damn i thought they were more. anyways. i neeed new boots andd these loook pretty dope. i watched the video on the house.com and they say its basically the full tilt boot (3 piece, moldable liner) and like didnt rossi own FT back in the day? or like FT bought the 3 piece mold from them or something? i thought they had some kind of relationship. anyways. i wanted to know if any of you guys skiied this boot and what you thought of it... thanks

step one:GO TO A BOOTFITTER

step two: BUY BOOTS THAT FIT don't buy a boot because it is cool or looks sick, the best boot for you is a boot that fits

step three:???

step four: profit

im saying should i even bother to go to a boot fitter for these boots. a boot can feel great when your wakling around in it in a store but after a season of skiing it how does it hold up... thats what im asking. dumb ass. if i was asking "what size should i get?" or "will this fit my foot" then your post would make sense. i was just asking if people like these boots... how the padding is landing big landings and flexing out with them. i could be wrong but i dont think a boot fitter has something to show me wht the boot will feel like landing back seat of a 50ft booter.... after about a season of skiing it... thanks. any people want to post what i asked about? haha

word. like these are prob one of the sickest boots out imo and they look like a FT concept... like i was thinkin for that price i cant go wrong. any boot for a year wont be bad then if they are sick then i basically found an under ground boot ya know... and its moldable so im just thinkin after the first season ill just mold em again and they will be like new right? not exactly like new but it will re new the padding? maybe? idk what the deal is or the point behind the molding is other than a snug boot

yea you could to that or just buy a new liner, or you could try to fit a liner rom a different boot and see it it fits. that would be sick

Ok that is the stupidest idea ever.

Go to a bootfitter, get the boot that fits, having bad fitting boots sucks so much and youll be pissed you didnt spend that bit more and get more out of the boot and not hate the time you went skiing.

Your basically going on - it looks cool and its cheap.

I've heard bad stuff about them, I think it's just a re-do of an old two piece rear entry boot. hence the reason why they're cheap. Your plan with moulding won't work, and even if you think it will and you buy them, then you've got no one to go back to after they hurt your feet. (they may not, but that's a risk) Just go to a bootfitter.

alright. im gunna get the spks. and again. there are no boot fitters for about 200 miles from me... im not gunna drive like 4 hrs to get fitted for a pair of boots only for him to tell me what size they are. whats the point of a bootfitter anyways? like i know you can get the boots punched and stuff. but what else is there to it?

they will measure your foot, tell you what boot will fit your length and width best, and correctly mold it. basically make you not hate your boots until you get new ones.

FS1's are the worst and heavy, according to a riding buddy, plus his feet smelled bad. take it for what its worth. or more

a boot-fitter is like a car mechanic- good ones are awesome, bad ones really suck. a good one will get you set and dialed, quite a bit can go into it.

as for the rossi boots, they are the complete opposite of FT's. it was a good attempt to find something new, but it didn't work and rossi canceled the project.
