Inb4 go to a boot fitter
but in all honesty I’m selling lightly used 28.5 drop kicks if you’re interested
Go to a boot fitter dude. Full tilts don't fit for everyone. Make sure you try them on first.
For me, the cable system just doesn't get tight enough, and the wrap around liner made it difficult for my ankle to be held in place securely. I went from Full Tilt Booters to the Classics and the original tongue liner has done wonders on holding my ankles in.
Also, if you're skinny like me, it's hard to get the cables tight enough around your shins, leading to more shinbang than wanted, even with the soft flex.
Lastly, Full Tilts range from 4-10 in flex, which in my understanding, is the same as 40-100 flex in normal ski boot language. That is VERY soft. Something that soft isn't going to give you a ton of control skiing big mountain. Great for park jibs tho, softness helps the blow of landing backseat for sure. Like I said earlier though, make sure they fit.

It's not equivilant to 40-100. Probably more like 60-130 I think, but even the normal system isn't consistent across companies. For example, Rossignol's 120 flex is different than Dalbelos 120.

You know you can get shorter cables, right?
Also the Booters had a wider shell.
Hell yeah you should. But definitely 100% go to a boot fitter. I got mine fitted and lemme tell you it’s a night and day difference
Wyatt_skisShould i get full tilt boots pros and cons
Yes get them right now
the answer is maybe
full tilt's youth-targeted marketing has succeeded in convincing half this site that full tilts are like a special top-tier boot, above other choices. they're 1000% not, and even if they were, different boot brands and models fit differently, so there's no such thing as a boot that's best for everyone
you're gonna get sick of hearing it but...go to a bootfitter. if full tilts fit you and match your skiing and preferences etc, great, go for em
People seem to think they're super soft but my Seths were just as stiff as my Atomic hawk ultra 130's that I have now. If they fit your foot I'm sure you'll like them, however after skiing full tilts for years and now going into a 2 piece boot I don't think ill go back.
all personal preference man. you can find boots that feel flexible and loose or you can get full tilts which run high on your calf, and don't flex a lot. I personally recommend full tilts because its the only boot ive ridden, and anything else feels too flexible. I also get them big so i don't get toe bang.
Get dalbellos and maybe not be a dick rider
I wanted Full Tilts but it just wasnt meant to be, none of them fit me well and I went with a pair of Salomons

That’s gangsta
Bought first chairs after trying on some descendant 4’s without trying on the narrower boot. Currently not even running a foot bed because i never got them professionally fit. Get full tilts and get your liners heat molded and the boot packed out as necessary. Breaking mine in was a pretty long and rough process but definitely the best boot ive ever had. Measure your midfoot width first if your getting them online to see what shell will fit best.

Do you detune your Full Tilts underfoot? I really love the First Chair 8 in a 110 underfoot. Had the Tom Wallisches with a 90 underfoot too.
