What does anyone know about these? Anyone have them? They look like a solid boot, with some nice features. I have my FT Booters that are going on 3 years old. They fit very well, and feel very good, but I still manage to beat my toes/shins up. Would these be a nice pickup for next season?

Do they not have the same liner and shell specs as FT?

support your local shop, and not the internet (even thought I'm telling you this via the internet)

Even though they may be very similar to full tilts you're forgetting that even if a a boot has a similar shell and liner that they can be completely different boot. Due to angle of lean, flex, width of your toe and heal. etc etc.

I was getting fit for my new boots the other day and I asked about them and he told me that all they really are is a 3 piece shell with some extra features and made to look different, nothing new here, I would suggest the il Moros or kryptons just got the il Moros after having full tilts and wow the difference is amazing

Your username is making me super emotionally uncomfortable on a whole new level. change that first, then we can talk about the boots.

I am at work and dont have alot of time to answer, but it is the same shell as the OG line tranfer ski boot (not the skiboard boot), the old line boot was in fact an old Raichle boot. My guess is they stuffed a better liner in it and fixed the buckles. I had a pair of too big transfers back in the day and it was a reasonable boot. the fit is more volumous than FTS or Kryptons. the flex adjuster is super wonky but it does work and i remember being able to do absolutely wicked manuals with them unlocked. Overall, I wouldn't buy them again as they were just OK boots, but they werent bad.
