Will full tilt fit my foot?

first of all, i've heard the "go to a boot fitter" stuff before, but i don't have the money to get whatever they recommend me and i might be able to get myself a pair of last years full tilts for a really good price.

Basically, my foot has an average (99/100 mm) forefoot width, is this too wide for the 98 mm last? or does that just make it a more performance fit, i've heard people with wider feet than me say that when you heat mold the liner its fine.

Does anyone with a similar width foot have full tilts? and how do they fit?

Thanks!

Well Full Tilt usually runs a bit narrower.  You should probably try a pair on to see if they fit.

id go to a bootfitter, see what fits, then buy something on NS for cheaper.

no

go to a bootfitter and get fitted, then support my shop by buying a boot that they fitted for you, instead of ripping off your shop by taking up their time and effort in order for you to not buy a boot from them




OP, there is no way you will be able to tell if a boot will fit without trying it on, you really should go to a bootfitter

fuck that,

Get your foot fitted, then support you local shop and buy it from them.

But really, get 2 hours of spare time save up your money and go to your local shops better fitters and give them your situation. Much better in the long run.

I wanted fultilts for the longest time. I had heard they were the best boot around... finally i got some for myself. And guess what? The first time i skied in them they hurt my feet super bad. ended up taking them back and getting technica agents.
Point of story, everyone has a different foot. you NEED to try on boots before you just buy them. its really really worth it in the end.
