I'm looking to get some new boots for next season. Really liking Full Tilt Booters right now. Also checkin out Hot Doggers. I ski some park, groomers and (if I'm lucky) 2 or 3 days of fresh stuff.

Any suggestions would be awesome. Thanks.

Try them on before you buy. Better yet a bootfitter can help you decide which boot is best for you.

you need to buy the boot that fits your feet. that being said here are some that i would put on top of my list to try on. true three peice boots such has ft not the booter people have had problems with those and imo not worth the ft name. then dalbello krypton line is very good. from the il moro down to the rampage (which is what i have). i dont think yoy can go wrong with any of those as long as they fit you properly.

Yeah, for sure gonna try them on. Il Moros look sick. Definitely gonna try them if I can find them. What's the price on them? Trying to keep my budget around 500.

the il moro is closer to 7 i dont think you are going to be able to get a krypton with an id liner for under 5. id recomend the rampage it is what i ride and i find it amazing i am in ski boots from 7:30 til around 4 pm and my feet arent crying unless i have some shinbang which is still possiable from landing backseat and my shins are still bruised from my old boots. also i csnt say it enough make sure these boots fit you.

Just like everyone is saying, TRY THEM ON. sorry, but it is so important that you get a boot that fits well. The FullTilt line is great, we have two riders that love them, but that being said. The boots dont come with foot beds which equals no support. The liners also need to be heat molded to your foot for the right fit. Which again is a reason to visit your local boot fitter/ski shop.

If you are trying to keep to under 500, I would look at the Nordica Double Six. Great boot for the money, its like the little bro of the AOS. Another boot to look at would be the Salomon Kreation. Just an over all solid boot for the money.

Hope this helps,

Try on any of nordicas freedom boots, ace of spades, dead money or double six. If they fit your foot you should get them. Incredible boots!
