Full Tilt Fitting

Yes, this is another FT thread. I've heard that FT's are really small and tight. I tried a pair on real quick and thats also what I found. Now, FTs have Intuition Liners for molding, but how much can you mold it? I have really wide, flat feet and I was wondering if I could get them to fit my feet.

P.S. I searchbarred this without success

no.

Your foot needs to fit the shell, not the liner.

Intuitions will mould the best out of any liner to your foot, but that doesn't change anything if the shell is the wrong shape for you

You can always do shell work, but FT shells are thin, so there is only so much you can do. Sounds as if your foot is too wide for them.

Above post is true about fitting the shell. I have done some shell work one my Hot Doggers without any problems though

Full Tilts have a very weird fit. If they don't fit your foot, its unfortunate, but just find something else.

The thread creator needs FTs, just like Anne Fank needed a drum kit. Aye?

my friend who has a wide foot bought FT's

at first they hurt him a lot because the boot was too skinny

so he drilled out the shell where he was getting pressure points/where it hurt

and now they work fine for him

to quote the Full TIlt website, "by making a permanent change like that you sacrifice the integrity of the boot." wouldnt it perform worse by drilling it?

That is like buying a motorcycle and making it into a snow car..

Shellwork is the last thing you want to do to boots.

dont base your boot size on your street shoe size...go to a boot fiiter, and try on different sizes that fit you the most!

the only problem with mine was that at first they rubbed my left inside ankle bone pretty bad, but then i get a nub pressed out and they are perfect now. i have had that problem with every boot i have ever owned though. i also feel like there is alot of space above my toes, but that has never caused a problem and i only notice it on the chair.
