Replying to Full Tilt, please make a boot that fits wider feet and isn't called Booter. Please, I beg you.
So, I went to the store a couple of days ago to try and find a new boot. I have previously ridden the FT Booter 11/12 and SPK 10/11. I loved the SPK's, but wanted to try out FT as I had heard such great things about their products. I bought a pair of the FT Booter last season and started getting problems. Shinbang and toebang was much more noticable and the boot just felt more painful all around. I know this might have something to do with me personally, rather than the boot, but anyways. So, I decided to give FT another go. Came into the store, sat down and tried on this years TWall, Drop Kick and Seth Morrison boots. I would say I have pretty average feet, not to wide, but a little perhaps. None of them would fit me. They were simply just too narrow around the widest part of my feet and the tightness was pretty unbearable to say the least. Then I tried on this years Booter pair, much better, the only pair of FT that actually felt good on my feet. Now, I don't know wheter or not I should get them. I love the way the initially feel on my feet, but my bad experience with my last pair really gave me an urge to try a different pair. I love the practical aspect of FT, the way they are easy to strap on etc. and I really wanna continue to wear the brand, even after my first experience with them. I was looking to buy any of the other boots than FT Booter, but I was quite dissapointed when they didn't fit me. So, is this something that FT is known for? Producing boots that might not fit people with wider feet? Maybe FT should keep this in mind when producing next years bootline? Maybe the B&E model will be more forgiving on the matter? Really don't know if should try another brand than FT right now, so just sharing some of my toughts on this. Anyone else have anything to contribute, feel free. Thanks.
