full tilt fits much differently than head boots. there really is no "true to size" when dealing with ski boots. every manufacturer has a slightly different fit

then don't buy FTs, go to your nearest shop that has a good boot fitter and get fitted, don't get FTs because they look cool or are the popular boot. Boots are the most important piece of gear in skiing, if you don't have ones that fit perfectly, it will cause you pain and hinder your abilities

Start with ur mp sizing. Multiply by 487. Divide by 622. Subtract 468. Multiply by -14. Insert that value in the integral from 0 to x (with that value for x) for the equation x^3 + 4x^2 - 6x +9. That will lead u to the lattitude coordinate of the mystical cave in the khumbu valley of nepal in which the magical yeti of full tilt boot sizing lives, he is the only one who knows the true answer to the question asked. Or u could just go try them the fuck on

It varies by model and if they are used! I got fitted for a 27.5 full tilt booter this year....then bought last years booter off a kid in the same size that were used and they didn't fit..

Full tilts tend to be a little bit shorter than other boots, based on the shell molds by a few millimetres.

They also run a little bit narrower last in some cases as well - however that's all indicative on how your foot is shaped.

ok ok ok i will try to find some better boots. but the problem is is that there is one ski shope in the 100 mile area. they specialize in gaper stuff and it sucks. so the only boots they sell are wierd bullshit boots. so fml!
