K2 Publishes their 3 Peice Full Tilt on their site

I'm not sure if this is new to the site, but I checked a few weeks ago and their 3 peice boots weren't on there.

Thus far everything looks just about the same. However, it looks like they've removed their full alpine sole bottom & aren't selling parts, like Full Tilt did, which is a bit dissapointing.

I wish they kept the FT sub brand somewhere on the boot. At least these look kind of cool. I hope the quality stays solid, and I bet it will since K2 is alright. The only downside is if the company that owns K2 tries to use this as a discount cash-cow. Glad I snagged these suckers when I did. I'll need to replace the liner though since it's terrible haha.

The other real downside will be that K2 will probably release less 3-piece boots. FT had probably 15+ different men's boots each season. I bet K2 will do

Based off my previous interactions with K2, I have to imagine a quick email will have a part coming your way.

I can assure all of you this boots are gonna only get better then you’ve ever even imagined! @tomPietrowski and the rest of the guys over there will not let these die and they’re coming out swinging for the damn moon so DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT be disappointed in this decision cause it’s only gonna be way better. Also the graphics that @bradwalters is coming up with are gonna make past ones look like kids crayon drawings. So yes FT had its time but I can promise you this new era is gonna be even better then you can dream up. 👊🏼

These all look meh. How about some bright ass colors? Bright green red pink etc. The tw looks especially boring and is $50 more. Why?

It makes me feel a lot better about K2 that the parts are cross compatible with FT boots. I dont really like their colorways but it wont matter until about 3 years from now when the shell of my FTs are down bad. Those blue cables do look sexy though hopefully colored cable replacements are avalable. Gonna buy some FT tongues though so I can delay having a K2 logo on my boots for as long as possible.

The key is carburetor cleaner. Its bascially dilluted acetone, but it'll take alot of graphics off. I guarantee it'd take off the K2 logo.

Hell yeah. I'm just hoping to find some alpine soles. It's really difficult to find any FT ones anymore & looks like K2 is just doing gripwalk rn on the fully replacable soles...

yeah alpine 5355 soles will be up on the site soon. All the boots come with gripwalk soles now but we will have alpine soles available for all models.

Just go straight acetone. Less scrubbing. Just don't light one up in the same room for a few.

smart move, those numbers confused some buyers who had recently learned of the standard flex ranking system during their search for their first pair of ski boots

Will the stiffer cuff and 14 flex tongue Bode Miller uses be available to racers by special order?

They will not, they were a special build and very expensive.
