Hey i'm kind of a bigger kid and i have a big calf and i was wondering if i got the full tilt booters if they would be able to fit or adjust to my calf? i tried on my friends hot doggers and they were small but we have the same size feet.just wondering if there was anyway to tell. please respond thank you!

check out the booters, there designed for a wider foot.


and never buy a boot because of the brand if it doesnt fit right. a well fitting race boot would be sooo much better then a bad fitting park boot!

Yes it is possible to strech the width of the calf of a boot, however unfortunatly with the design of full tilts it may not work too well. Can I ask is there any reaon you have to get Full Tilts? There are many bootys out there which would probably fit you better. Head boot can be good for big calfs, as can some Salomons. Best thing to do is go see your local friendly boot fitter, and see what he recomends. If that happens not to be a full tilt, then you have a decison by a boot that fits or one you think is cool but prob wont be very good.

kinda beating a dead horse but its true... go to a bootfitter and get the boot that fits your foot the best not the one that looks the coolest or is popular brand

Full tilts really are not freestyle specific, thre just old race boots really with possibly a soft foot board. There really is nothing though that makes a fulltilt freestyle specific, so dont let that worry you.

The booter is FT wider boot, but that does not mean its a wide boot compared to other boots out there. As I said before I would guess Head may well work better for you. Something like an Edge 11 would be big in the foot and calf, and it would be just as good in the park as any full tilt boot.

Well luckily for you, most cheaper boots tend to be wider fitting. This is because cheaper boots tend to be not has high performance so the fit is more relaxed. For park you could pretty much use anything so dont worry if its a low performance boot so long as it fits well.
