I know everyone is just going to say to go to a boot fitter and see what fits best. I'm not looking for that answer, just want some feedback on the boot itself

Well its a full tilt so it has a 99mm last and a rather small volume inside. They do not come with an insole so defiantly see how they fit with a footbed, as you will need a custom footbed with them. It has the 4 tongue I believe which is so, so soft, you would probably want to swap that straightaway.

Build wise it only has the plastic buckles so expect to have to replace those once they break.

It comes with a form of intuition liner which will work well at first but they do wear out after around 100 days of use.

So overall its a small volume boot with a very soft flex, but there are much better quality boots with the same fit.

I got Drop Kicks last year. Love the boot, but i did get a 6 flex tongue right away. To me the 4 seemed to soft for all mountain. I would say go ahead and pull the trigger on them.

Im not sure if this would be any help to you but because Im a girl but for me when I first put on my full tilt it felt like my foot was being crushed.. and my feet arent wide at all. so just be careful of that.
