How are full tilts better for park than any other boot I thought it really just came down to down to what fits you best and how you like it?? Do tilts really provide an advantge tho?

Yes they provide a huge advantage for park then other boots. Fts come with shock absorbers and a range of flexible tongues to prevent skin bang and things like that.

I like a-lot of forward lean which full tilt has alot of w the risers.They're also wicked light.
There not bad there's some stiffer boots out there.

This is correct. If full tilts fit you well and happen to have the features you want, great

But the only people who think full tilts are a level above other boots are just impressionable children on NS

make sure you roll your pants up so you can see the boots while you ride though. Full Tilts power doesnt work unless you do this

Full Tilts give you super powers and get you all the ladies so I’ve been told. Bought 8 pairs this winter and I learned I can fly like Superman and my wife still likes me.

I just thought that by rolling up your pant leg it cooled down the plastic on your boots to make them feel stiffer. Old racer trick from my understanding.

but clout too

There really needs to be like a mini slide show that has go see a boot fitter on it that is required to be read before becoming a member. There are way too many ft threads

eheaththis is completely false.

not entirely. All our boots beside the Classic (hard snow focused boot) have a cushioning shock absorbing boot board and the infinite flex (it doesn't bottom out) of the 3 piece design helps prevent shin bang. Speaking of what helps prevent shin bang and other things that hurt your feet .. A BOOT THAT FITS YOUR FOOT! So to the OP head to a shop and talk to a fitter and see what's right for you. Thanks for considering FT - jm

To be fair, the counterpoint was the main FT advertising guy on NS’s response. So I’m not sure I follow your logic haha.

Plus, read what was written by each person. Eheath was responding to someone who answered in response to “are FTs better for park than any other boot” that yes, full tilts are better than others and it’s because of blah blah blah features. That’s just not true. It just isn’t. Anyone claiming otherwise is not arguing in good faith or is just completely ignorant about boots

I like them because
1. They fit me well
2. They are pretty damn light

But if they didn’t fit me well, the weight thing wouldn’t even be a consideration. Get something that fits well because you’d rather have a boot that may feel heavy for a few days that feels great or a boot that’s light but it hurts like shit and it makes your skiing worse

I’m on my 2nd pair of FT’s and love them. Not a park skier cause I’m early 50’s but ski aggressively. Have had original Booters and now Descendant 8’s.

Nordica boots are great for fatasses like me who have a large distance between the medial and lateral malleolus.

nordicas might not fit you the best but for me they are worlds comfyer than every other boot ive tried.
