How long do Full Tilt Boots really last?

Full Tilt boots from 2013/2014 season. Skied around 30 times that season, 14/15 season skied 80 or so time, 15/16, 20 times, 2016-2020 8 times.
So, the boots have seen around 140 days. New cuffs at around 70 days, plus a pro-liner too.
They feel like crap now. Booster strap helped somewhat but overall they feel rickety and the actual shell feels likenit has softened.

Plastic doesn't have the longest life, especially when being exposed to lots of freeze/thaw cycles. To test them, try and poke/scratch your fingernail into the plastic, under the arch (not the sole). If you can dig your nail into them, its time for new ones. However, the components can wear out faster than the shell.

you probably just got better at skiing and your legs are stronger. id say either get stiffer tongues or go to a bootfitter and try stiffer boots

I just replaced a 2017 pair because the toe piece broke. Don‘t know why, but probably because of a lot of nasty tailpresses
