Is it worth it to get the 2015 Full Tilt Classic for east park skiing? I'm 5'7 and I'm in between 25.5 and 26.5. I tried them on at the local ski shop I work at and I'm just not sure if I should go with another pair. Our ski shop can order almost any brand and type of boot.

I personally own the 2014 Full Tilt Classics, and let me tell you I love them! In my opinion any Full Tilt will satisfy, if they make your feet feel comfortable. The boots are very customizable so if you don't like the flex you can obviously change that. Personally I would by the Tom Walls because you can change the bottom of the boot (outsoles), when it wears down.

I started with the Classic's, but now I just stick with the TW and BE pro models. Would recommend FT for the park for sure. No better foot to stomp with than a FT.

I have had multiple pairs of drop kicks and really like full tilt. I like that you can customize the fit very easily, no rivets to deal with, all you need is a screw driver. They fits my foot well and are very light. But in truth, the technology other boot companies have come out with far surpass any reason to really ski a 30 year old boot model. Until Full Tilt has a fully moldable shell (like Salomon or Nordica), or at least one that is easier to heat and shape; i dont see why you would choose a Classic or Drop Kick or any full tilt over other boots on the market that are in the same product range.

So I ended up buying the 2016-17 Classics about 3 months ago and I love them. I went from having a pair of technica boots to these and I am never nooking back. Never have been so satisfied with a purchase in my life. I mostly do all mountain and some park and these were perfect. I had a few powder days this season and they were pretty good but after 5 hours of constantly skiing it gets pretty rough after. Still much better than the barely being able to walk with my technicas.

I usually stay away from FT and stick with dalbello, nordica and so. Just cause of the fact they're cheaper and higher quality.
