Replying to Theory on why Full Tilts dont fit right
So the common problem that ice seen over the years with people riding in full tilts (myself included) is that when bending forward the heel of the skier lifts up from the bottom of the boot, even when the boot is appropriately sized and sometimes molded to the skier. This problem is far more prevalent in FT's than any other boot ive seen (I also fit peoples ski boots at a shop). I believe the root cause of this is the design ethos of FT, by having a ribbed tongue the boot does not cave in at the ankle of the skier. while FT markets this as a good thing, it would seem that the caving in at the ankle is necessary to some degree to retain the ankle of the skier. This would explain why all the other manufactures have steered clear of this design philosophy for the most part.
Idk it was just a thought.
