Boot fitting

full tilt boots also have heat molding liners so you might as well get them fitted at a shop if you have to go there to mold the liners anyway

Yeah it is because there may be stuff like you have a tiny heel and wide forefoot that needs to be blown out in the shell of a low profile boot (like me).

said this like a dumbass. I am getting new boots, should I go to a boot fitter.

Yeah it would make sense. You can have some issues that need correcting and a lot of bootfitter stand by their work so they’ll fix issues for free down the road if you buy from them.

yes go to a boot fitter /thread

IMO I would never buy boots without a boot fitter. You can have all the nicest/most expensive gear but if your boots are uncomfortable or too big/small you will almost never have a good day. You could just buy some boots without one and might get lucky, but when you're paying a lot for ski boots I don't think it's worth the chance of getting poorly fitting boots. Boot fitter 100%

I also highly recommend getting footbeds with arch support. Personally, custom footbeds fixed all the problems i've ever had with ski boots. My feet/toes are warmer due to better circulation, I don't get toe/shin bang, and I barely have any heel lift in my boots. They were expensive ($200) but they are the best gear investment I've ever made. Comfortable and properly fitting ski boots = more fun skiing.

Go to a boot fitter. If the full tilts worked for you in the past definitely try a pair on but be open to other options too. Also, get a custom footbed. Not cheap but other than boots that fit well it's the biggest upgrade you can make for comfort and performance

If you get boots that are just a little bit too big for you, you don't have to go to a boot fitter.

ya go to a boot fitter - DM me, i used to boot fit for many years, happy to help answer any questions!
