Park skiing boots.... Are they really worth the cost?
I recently purchased a pair of full tilts which Is a boot I've been riding for 3 seasons now. They where to big and in result I got toe and shin bang very badly....
After those I bought a pair of dellbellos which where too small. I was confused because I bought my exact size of a 27.0, but these boots DID NOT FIT!!!
I'm now currently in 3 valleys in France and couldn't ride either boot due to pain. I decided to go the quickest route and get rentals. I was very impressed buy these head boots giving a better performance then either boot even when they did fit.....
I later talked to my dad who told me "full tilt" was just an old mold of a boot he used to ride back in the 80's and no one bought them... Later after the company crashed they where bought out by the new and improved full tilt (but not really)
All these freestyle boots jump to the same pattern of the 3 piece design.
And frankly it's all a bunch of bs...these company's came and put cool colors on an old boot, got pros to ride them and that gives them the right to classify them as a "freestyle boot"?
After riding both of the big company boots the tom w hot dogger and the t hall ill Moro they are just older model boots with a high price tag.
Why spend 650$ for fts when you can buy a head boot for 200 that will perform the same way if not better.
Thanks for reading one love
I hope you're a troll. If not you might just be the biggest dumbass ever.You yourself said neither the FTs or Dalbellos fit you properly, well there's your problem
You need to forget about what a boot is marketed too. As you say full tilts have barely changed since the 80's when they were used as a race boot. So there is nothing that makes them a park boot. The dalbello is a very similar fit. So if full tilts did not work it's unlucky the dalbello would. Head boots in comparison are generally very big volume which indicates you have a higher volume foot. Also who fitted the boots and what footnotes did you buy. How well a boot works is purely down to fit. You can't just buy any boot yet. Salomon and atomic are getting close to boots which fit any foot but you will still always need a good fitter to make goodness and to fit the boot. So in the future don't worry about the type of boot but rather the fit.
In the uk at least full tilts are really expensive. The b&e for example is £380. That is more money then a quest max 130 which is way way more boot. Honestly any one who spends nearly 400 quid on a full tilt is crazy.
