LyricsylvanThey aren't just the best park boot. They're the best boot for any kind of skiing... If the company knew WHY their boots were so good, they would be marketing to everyone, especially racing...


...can't tell if sarcastic...

Intuition liners are a big plus for them. When I first got my Full Tilts, not going to lie, I was not a huge fan of them. Felt so weird to ski in.
But after a couple full days of park, breaking em in and stuff, they are now my favorite boot. I really notice a good difference in my skiing. They are a ski boot that you adjust your skiing to a little bit.

Absolutely nothing it’s a brand name and personally I’ve skied them and I remember how happy my feet were when I threw those things in the dumpster. They just have a REALLY good marketing team, ( don’t fall for the horse shit ) get a boot that is comfortable to you, #1 rule in ski boots is forget about aesthetics, just because it looks “cool”or everyone else has them says nothing about the boots quality and how it fits your foot.

I have always been and will always be a huge full tilt fan however I have lately realized that they are lacking in some areas.

I have skinny legs that have often been compared to toothpicks, twigs, chicken drumsticks... You get the idea. I have been riding full tilt for close to 5 years now and am on my second pair. At first they were the dream boot. Snug, warm, soft but not too soft. But as the loners have become compacted (after about a week of skiing) I cannot get them to be snug arou my legs. No matter how tight I do them up, I have changed the bales for shorter cables and sill can't get them fully snug. This leads to pretty horrific shin bang when you get bucked.

I have never skied dalbello but was interested to be told that they make a specific boot for people with ridiculously skinny legs?!

Maybe Dalbello is the new way to go?

Buckle completely split at the hinge on the third day of use. Not stoked, can't say I am surprised though.
