Why full tilts?

I keep seeing all the posts that include full tilts, is it a troll? I demo'd the 14 pair and they were garbage plus super ugly , the Nordicas 2 star is so much superior along with many other boots. So why full tilts?

3 piece design is preferred for freestyle/freeride skiing. Roxa/full tilt/dal bello win

because for some people they fit better than any other boot. the design allow for a flexier boot. and the graphics are cool.
they are as good as any other boot aside from durability, but they are mainly good for thin footed people

It's all just marketing. Full tilt got it spot on with the team and there ads. He'll people still think you can't get shin bang in them thanks to one add. But times are changing. I have been selling full tilts this season and we have done one pair of drop kicks that's it. People try them against other boots and generally never pick the full tilt. Until full tilt can sort out the manufacturing problems with roxa don't expect anything new either. Ideally full tilt will be able to implement there own production in the futre which may mean they can develop new things but until then I see there sales staying rooted in the ns online sales.

An old alpine race design is preferred for freestyle... Great logic. If a boot fits you wear it, end of story. 2 piece overlap or 3 piece tongue, it doesn't matter

FT promotes a linear flex... Overlap boots can have a progressive flex, most PU boots do
