So i went in got fitted for boots and i got the FT Classics in a 28.5. They said ride them a few day and after they break in you will have the perfect boot. 5 days later my feet are still going numb because my toes are still slightly smashed up front. How many day would you say it takes to break in these boots. Or did i just get one size too small and have to deal with it forever!

After 5 full days your liners will be brocken in. There are still a few things you can do.

If you didnt allready get some footbeds. These will suport your medial arch and can often make your foot shorter in the boot.

You can get the tow box streched to give more room in the shell.

Maybe also check your boots are not too big. It could be your foot is slipping foward in the shell. A 12 is genrally about a 12 us shoe. (Yes I know you look at the charts and its a 10 us but nobody wears shoes that fit. I wear a 10 and a size 26.5)

no fucking shit. The shop didn't cook and mold your liners for you?

Please give the name of the shop so no one else goes there.

be a man, get over it, toes hitting the end is not that big of a deal, they will pack out in the tow eventually, you have a vagina, be a man, be a man, be a man.

just kidding. numb feet is teh worst. i'd say ride em for a few more days and see if it doesnt get better, and if it still doesnt then you should 1 get footbeds 2 heat mold then go see how they feel for a few days and if after that they are still crushing your toes then take them in and see what a tech can do for you.

Go back to the shop and tell them about this problem cause it shouldn't be happening after 5 days if you got "fitted". And also get them to heat up the liners and mold them to your foot.

fulltilts are fucking horrible until you bake the liner and get a footbed. If you no one told you that when you bought these you're going to the wrong shop.

  Thats right. You have to get Full Tilts cooked right from day one. There is a special process for this. It sounds like the guy didnt know jack about the boot or he would have known this. They line your foot with a pad and really add padding to the toes for volume or they suck. Then you step in the hot liner and boot for 30 min or so. They will be the best performance boot youve ever had and zero issues when you get them fitted right!!!

 I would get them properly fitted they way Full Tilt trains there shops to do so. Our Store owner went to Full tilt and was shown the right way to fit there boots. Its standard with these boots and no extra charge!! These liners and boots arent like other boots. Go get them heated up with the volume pads cut to match your feet before you stick your foot in them. If they dont know what your talking about go to a full tilt dealer that does and get them done there or call fult tilt and explain whats happening and they will refer you to a good boot fitter on there dime. 

  The guy who told you to just wear them to break them in is a retard!!!

I have Konflicts and my son has Hot Doggers. We both got ours heated and adjusted at the shop last year. Niether had any issues from day one. Other than we both had to dremill the inner rivot on both at the anckle bone. This is a comon spot to file or dremill down as it sticks out a bit and youll feel a sharp spot after a while. We brought them back to the shop and he knew exactly what needed to be done and good to go.

  He told us that at full Tilt when they were training the shop guys that the boots are designed to be heated with volume added in the toes and around the sides of the foot or the boots would feel terrable for a long time . The intuition liners are tough and dont break in fast with out a heat mold.
