any takes on the boot? i know they're the new 2011 boots and probably no one has ridden them yet, but just thought i'd post this and hopefully find someone who has them and can give me an idea on their fit, feel, etc.

I have had the Booter since January 2010 and was able to ski on them for quite a while. These boots are very comfortable and fit wider than the normal 3-Piece design by Full Tilt. The "Das Booter" is designed at the Influence 3-piece. This type of boot by Full Tilt boot features:

Soft #4 Flex for extra forgiving shock absorption & maneuverability
Active Bootboard rubber absorbs big air landings
NEW quick adjustment memory
Cable Keeper minimalist system to keep cables organized. Aluminum Macro Ladder + Micro

Here is a link of where I got this information. http://fulltiltboots.com/boots/booter

Sick boots for park, i recommend them to anyone. My foot was about size 6 and growing so i bought a 29.5. i took them out on my first run and i landed my first double cork 12 it was so awesome! They fit good with my 97mm foot too!
































































































But seriously, go to a bootfitter before you even think about it.

the top buckle blew off on one boot then about a month later the other side same thing happened and then by the end of the season the toe buckle jammed and wouldnt slide. I could have sent them in but that would have required me shipping them to calgary. So I bought some old Raichle's and swapped buckles, now they feel stronger then ever and my buckles are purple

I'm def checkin em out. I'm going to the Alpine Haus. Unfortunately for them, they're not listed on Full Tilt's website as a dealer. That really sucks. They must be losing a lot of business. It must be K2. Or Glen Plake. And his hair. Does Glen Plake still own K2 or whatever? What a flexible man.
