I've grown to fucking hate my FTs. I have them two sizes down and they're still roomy af cause they're so soft it's annoying. I tried on Lupo 110s at work today I think I'm gonna get them. So stiff they cut me til I bled. stoke

HEAARDDD DAT. Fuck women's full tilts. maybe men have luck but mine sucked.
I just got the salomon x max 110s. They're stiff, and hurt, but I'm working on it, they're getting better and they fucking shred.

Right on, that's the attitude. My Nordica Doberman WC EDT 130's hurt at the beginning of every season. But after a couple days my shins and legs toughen up and then my beastly boots can handle anything I throw at them. Be prepared to turn your din up though, when I switched from my old overflexy boots the leverage I could get on my skis increased so much I started having release issues. Although partly that was because I was taking drops and charging lines I wouldn't have thought of trying in my old unsupportive boots.

I like my full tilts lol. But my friend has Dalbello Kyra 85s and she loves them. Not sure what kind of skiing you do, but she does mostly all mountain and hits jumps(not any boxes/rails though) and she thinks they're the best boots ever. I've heard a lot of good things about Dalbello too!

85 is too soft for me but yeah I tried on the Dalbello Lupo 110s at work the other day and they were dope so I'm thinking about getting those.

Also, Erica, I've heard bad things about men's FTs from certain men in my life who ride FTs as well so I don't think it's just women's.

I've been in my Atomic hawx 100s for three seasons and they are great. I have a pair of May Jane FTs but I keep going back to my atomics. In the full tilts, my ankles are not secure (I can kinda pick my heel up even tho they are my size and are tightened all the way). I do like how light they are. I might get them heat molded and invest in stiffer tongues but for now, I'm sticking with my atomics.

That's exactly my problem with my Mary Janes, and mine are heat molded. I can lift my heel up inside the boot a decent amount, and I even went two sizes down with them. It's such a huge performance compromise and I'm getting really sick of it.

I've been needing something way stiffer anyway. I've heard good things about the Hawx 2.0, so I imagine the Hawx are similar. I've got my heart set on these Lupos, though. They retail for $800 but I'd only be paying around $100 for them and I can't pass that up, they're so sick.

I hear that, any of my guy friends that are over like 170 hate them, and i've never talked to a girl who loves her FT's, myself included. I mean yeah they're comfortable but there's a huge discrepancy regarding flex going on. Should never sacrifice performance for comfort, they should be equal.
