So i found a pair of 2013 Full Tilt Tom Wallischs at $250. I also found a pair of 2012 Hot Doggers at $190. Im leaning to the 2013s cause they're new and for $60 more you get a good boot. Give me your opinion

If you are not bein fitted in a shop don't buy either. You can't just get boots because you like them like we do with skis. Boots have to fit your foot and therefore there are loads if differnt fit options. A boot fitter will select the most appropriate boots for both your fit requirements and skiing level. They will then fit the boots to your feet. There is a fair bit that goes into buying boots but the numbe one rule is don't buy online. Good luck boot shopping.

^not sure what I make of that list I think it is pretty ou of date. The uk for example Colin is ok but would not be my first choice. It also has no western canada.

Maybe be we could start a more up to date list here. Get it stocked and newschoolers could have a good resource of currently working fitters.

I went to a boot fitter and the boots ended up being shit, then I bought FT's online and they rock!
so that was probably just a bad experience at the boot fitter.

Doesn't matter. Stop riding the Full Tilt hype train and go get properly fitted.

A good fitting all mountain even race boot will be better than a shitty fitting second hand pair of FT's you bought cheap off the internet.

Full Tilts will still give you shin bang and hurt if they fit like crap they're not some kind of magical boot that fits everyone perfectly.
