Best line up they have ever had. They now have a good 99mm boot and a good 102mm last. This was somthing full tilt could never properly offer in the past but with the new wider shell there are real fit options now. From the 2 shells, well three technically if you include te original you should be able to find a good fit and flex.

But don't ignore other brands. Full tilt are great and I love them for certain types of skiing but they are not perfect for everything so when you go to get fitted be open minded.

Why isn't there a Tom Wallisch or B&E pro model on the website?? Did they discontinue those two boots or are adding them later??

Get boots that fit. Doesn't matter who makes them.

However if we're talking cosmetics, I hate their lineup. I love the way they fit but I wish they didn't keep going with this all black color scheme.

Tey were just differnt graphics on the same shell the others use. To simplify for shops they have reduced the overal number of boots but you can still get all the same flexes etc.

persoanlly i I like the look this year. You can't go wrong with a black boot. The descents look really nice too, much better in person then in pics. But they are ski boots and it really does not matter what tey look like.

well I have a extremely slim foot wider last shouldn't matter too much, and mainly ski park because my hill is roughly 800 ft of vert but i'll defanitely keep other brands in mind while trying to find the boot that fits the best

If you actually have a very narrow foot then you may need to be looking elsewhere. The 99mm last is not wide but it's also not a low overall volume so you may find some lower volume boots from differnt brands work better for you. Remember it does not matter what a boot is marketed towards tey are all just skis boots. Some of te best park riders use race boots, so concentrate on how tgey feel not how they look.
