I currently have a pair of salomon X-Max boots at 26.5, they are starting to loose response. Everyone is wearing Full Tilts these days and have heard amazing things about them. I have wide feet so would probably be looking at the Descendants but not sure what flex to go for and if they will actually fit my feet.

My feet sizes are: Length 24/24.5, Last 95/100.

Can someone please help shed some light on if the boots will fit, and if they will be the right boots for me since I will be aiming more towards freestyle.

Probably everyone will tell you this, so I'm just gonna go ahead and say it first:

Nobody here can tell you whether your feet will fit or not. You have to go to a fitter to find out. Maybe you find another boot that even fits your feet more perfectly.

Yeah I obviously understand that, it's to save buying the boots online to then send them back. Unfortunately there are no shops near where I live that stock full tilts.

There are other boots out there that are just as good as full tilts. Go to a bootfitter.

Then you know your options: go to a local shop and get something other than full tilt (best option), or you can order a bunch of pairs online and then send back the ones that don't workout and keep the best one.

There's nothing better in the world of ski boots than getting that one pair dialed with a good fitter. Seriously.

Go. Have them take a good look at your feet, try on loads of boots. Listen to their advice and make damn sure you get a footbed - even just a trim to fit one.
