First, i don't think there are any other threads abt this but i could be wrong. Ok so I'm hoping to get some new boots for next season and i was look at all the new shit from SIA and i noticed that FT has another freestyle boot coming out next year. The guy who was talking about it didn't seem to say anything useful (or anything at all) about it and i was wondering if anyone had any info (stiffness, price, fit, whatever) any info would be helpful, thanks

Probably the same as the old booters.

Also get fitted by a bootfitter.

dont just order online without being fitted for your boots. I ride a 27.5 boot in dalbello but could easily be a 28 or 27 in full tilts. The flex will probably be 4 and it will be a little less then the tom wallisch boots for this year(I'm guessing). Full tilt is a great company, but it might be more comfortable using a different park boot.

it's basically the same boot as the Classic, just with a more youthful color scheme and a rubber boot board. they're an awesome price point boot. gets you into the full tilt line at a sweet price.

They dont. They are a narrow boot.

The influence series fits wider.

Get fitted.

this is what I know. The dropkick is gonna be $450 with a stiffness of 4. The twallz are gonna be $500. Only $50 diference, minus well pay the extra 50 for the pro liner and all the other shit even tho the dropkicks look sick

not to be a dick but what pretzel is trying to say in the nicest way possible is... DONT EVER MAKE A THREAD ASKING WHAT A CERTAIN BOOT IS LIKE OR ASKING WHAT BOOTS YOU SHOULD GET because no mater what flex the boot has or how cool it looks or what sweet features it has, no one on this site knows your foot shape or what boots fit you best. The only way to find that out is by going to a boot fitter and seeing what fits you best.

i was never asking "should i get this" i was just curious abt specs. im not abt to go out and buy a boot based off just looks or who makes it or what ppl think is "steezy". my bad if it came off like that

he was asking about an overview of the boot, not if it's going to fit his foot. goddamn.

yea no problem, its just better to make sure you go see a bootfitter first.

that way you can make a thread like this

just went and tried on the new full tilt drop kicks and the fit perfect, wondering if anyone else here has used these boots and can tell me how they preform or what the flex is like on snow

no sense in getting all this info just to find out the boots dont fit you

just my $0.02
