So, are they really worth the money.

I understand that if you dont have the right shaped foot then they suck, but if they fit good is it worth buying a pair of full tilts? My feet have stoped growing so i think my parents are going to buy me one last pair of boots and they might as well be good ones. Im not looking for them to magicly end shin bang or make me pro but i just want them to last. I have problems breaking the buckles off the foot part so i thought these would be a good option. ANd one last thing, are they going to be too soft to ski woods and not just park? O and i would have put this in gear talk but i wanted to get more than a few opnions.

thanks.

i would actually say that full tilts compared to other boots are relatively cheap but don't take an internet forum's  opinion on a boot.  go to a reputable boot fitter and get their professional opinion on the boot to get and many places let your try them out before buying and boots. i do own a pair of last years high fives and i absolutely love them. i knuckled jumps at mount snow for two days straight and barely had any shin bang. the greatest thing about full tilts is how customizable they are and pretty much if you have a problem your boot shop has a full tilt piece to fix it. hope that helps

just as Meases_Pieces said, fulltilt are amaizing. i have a pair of booters and absolutly love them. The only thing i would say, if you have a habit of breaking buckles, fulltilts are prone to that. I have broken buckles three diffrent times. But that brings up an other Feature about full tilts. You can buy basically any part that comes on them seperatly. So if you do break a buckle, cord, or even want a diffrent flex, you can buy any extra parts.

you win a cookie!

yes i am 20. i was being an ass hole, because my parents never have, and never will, buy me skis, boots, or anything other than a ticket, pertaining to skiing.

(that goes for my ENTIRE skiing career)

let alone if i said my feet hurt.

Well u said that u were wondering if they could still ski trees and big MT. yes because of the interchangeable tounges and the type of full tilt you get. For example the classics or an all around full tilt. For the great boot they are they are relitvley cheeep
