the rivet on the left tongue of my descendant 6 broke, no big deal because its under warranty, but does anyone else have this problem? Ive been skiing mostly all mountain because the lack of snow has kept me out of the backcountry and glades, so its not like I overworked the boot or gave it unusual wear.

Threads regarding full tilts breaking are a daily occurrence around here. They're super cheaply made , steer clear in the future man .

Its pretty easy to reattach with a screw and a t bolt. I do it a lot for customers. that rivet wasn't quite as burley as they hoped. The issue has been addressed for next season. Make sure you slide that tongue all the way towards you before you try flipping it out!

I've fixed so many of these it is ridiculous. I only sell Fulltilts to weekend warriors, they won't last for anyone who skis a lot.

IDK if I'd got that far. I wear them and put 80-100 days a year in on them. Taking care of your stuff helps a lot!

Id agree with most of these people, full tilts are fantastic boots, but their durability factor is a lot less than most others
