In all seriousness though I’ve ridden FTs for years and I love them but that’s because they work for my foot. It’ll come down to fit and flex more than a “park” or “freestyle” boot. Some people like stiffer boots, some like softer. All personal preference.

I had a pair of drop kicks for about 1 season and they were a bit narrow for my feet, know of any wider boots similar?

full tilt descendent is wider I believe. Also just see a boot fitter, it's cliche to say that but it's true.

Did you have them molded? The mold usually fixes things. The Descendant would be the next choice if you wanna stay FT but that things a bucket IMO. I had one and it’s just so wide and high volume. Roxa Element series are a little wider and fit pretty close to the OG FT shell. I have an R3 which is an element with tech fittings and it fits great. I used to rock the old FT shells and they worked too but the Element/R3 is a little bit more modern. Lighter weight, more anatomical fit, more customizable.

I didnt have them molded, I thought the intuition liner "self molded"?, either way thanks for the suggestions

It does! But the heat mold speeds it up and in my opinion ultimately provides a more tailored fit. It also packs the liner out a bit more so that there’s a bit more room

some people are fat. and or tall, so all boots are soft'ish. I fit good for FT's but.. they have a tradition for just beeing too soft, new 2021 looks promising though.



But... new dalbello il moro is incoming! never even tried it on, just orderd by looks, might just get an expensive shelf piece :p

Seems most people don't know, but Full Tilt have heat moldable shells just like most brands do. So if they feel tight just have the liner and shell molded to get that perfect fit.
