A lot of people including me are getting new boots next year. I was going to get full tilts because they look like they have a lot of flex and comfort, and that's what i really need. I was just going to ask you what you think is the best 2013-2014 Full tilt color way, that I should get for next years season. Here are some of the color ways including the Classics and the Drop Kicks, there is a brochure where you can see them all.

Not all full tilts fit the same. Hot doggers have different liners, booters are wider, and some models have different toe boxes. Go to a boot fitter and see which one fits you best, not what looks the best.

my one complaint about Full Tilts is the very thin sole that wears out after a few seasons. When I replaced my aging First Chairs with new ones this season, I decided on the T-Wall since it has the new replaceable rubber sole, I'd recommend finding some with that sole

The classic is one of their better boots in my opinion. But really they are all pretty customizable since you can change the tongue flex really easily

Get it if it fits you. It may be a good boot, but you will hate it if it doesn't fit right. To to a bootfitter and have them put you in a boot that is perfect for you, if its full tilts, awesome, if not, too bad. And if you completely ignore this/the advise of a bootfitter and get full tilts, I hope you realize your retarded and wasted money on something that you only got because its "popular"

Hey, don't just be a trendy consumer and buy something that fits. Pros Your feet and wallet will thank you Cons. Your feet won't look like a pile of willy wonkas vomit and your friends will know you aren't cool.

I have the Drop Kicks, and so does everyone else on the mountain. I had Technica Agent 90s and once I got my drop kicks I literally got better at skiing. Compared to those heavy uncomfortable pieces of shit my Drop Kicks are a gift from heaven. Comfy, light weight, flexy, and make everything I do feel so much better.

id go blue i dont agree with all this bootfitter stufff, sure it will help but full tilts mold to your feet so unless you have a extremely wide foot they are going to fit fine.

How will your wallet thank you? Full Tilts are some of the cheapest new boots that you can buy.

Assuming they fit me I would be torn between Classic and the Blue Drop kicks.

I'm leaning towards the Drop Kicks because imo they overdid the whole retro thing on the Classics (even if they are literally the same colors as one of the older flexons)

Personally, when I need new boots I go to my local ski shop and get fitted. Shops around me are always trying to get rid of last years gear, and anything older than that is obviously cheaper. Like they say, if the boot fits buy it. By the way I buy boots thats a little cheaper than going to back country and buying this years newest boots online.

At OP,
full tilt is going to have three differnet shells for next year. The classic which is unchanged from previous models and includes the drop kicks and the classic boots i believe. They are also adding a new slightly roomier shell for next years T-WALL and B&E. The toe box on the new boots is going to be slightly roomier, and there where a couple of other modifications that i can't quite remember from the retailer's catalogue.They are also bringing back the old booter shell which will be the same as last years.

Hope that helps, and go see a bootfitter at a local shop they will get you into the right boot. Try on the whole line and pick what is best for you.

Don't listen to anyone that says you need to get boots fitted. I ordered my full tilts having never tried any on and just guessing the size and they are the best boots I have ever used.

And what where your previous boots?

Could just be that you still have crappy fitting boots and dont know the difference.

I you want to be guaranteed a good fit, go to a bootfitter, they are professionals and will make sure you are comfortable.

I also had Line Invaders when I got my Technica Agents! I have the yellow drop kicks, and the purple/black agent's though.

I totally agree, I just feel that once you start getting your boots fitted you are more likely to spring for a pair of nicer boots that were fitted at a shop over a pair of booters for 319 on evo.  Especially if you have a pro deal or a good shop hookup.
I was just trying to point out that from a beginners perspective who doesn't want to spend over 700 bucks on a whole setup (skis boots bindings) and probably wont spend the extra 100 or more getting their boots fitted full tilts are a fairly cheap and customizable choice. Also just wondering what type of boots do you ride and how much did your shop mark them down?

I have last years drop kicks. I bought them thinking they look sick. They do, however, don't buy on appearance. I have shelled over 300$ on extra stuff to make them fit better. I bought custom orthotics, heat molded them, and also paid for booster straps. The whole no shinbang thing, BS. I had it bad until I bought those booster straps(Defiantly buy a pair). So basically, make sure they fit first, feel good, and buy them at a store. Never buy online.
After saying this however, I will say that Full Tilts are just not for me yet may be for you.

I have been running with the good ole atomic nukes. Just bought a pair of volts this year though since as atomic kept the same shell and everything. I bought them at my local store for 260, and since I'm a grown ass man I just stick with the size I was fitted for a few years ago.
