Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
One thing he said that I would recommend against: allowing the intuition liner to mold to your feet over time without heat molding.
Intuition liners are very thick out of the box and can compress up to 80-90% in some spots. While you certainly can break them in on your own, I highly recommend heat molding these liners before hitting the hill.
... And don't forget a good pair of footbeds!
"get full tilts" -newschoolers, 2010
In my opinion (comming from a park skier) full tilt boots are cheap 30 year old designed boots that are specifically marketed to teenagers who ski park with line skis and aren’t serious about what there wearing and just wear them to fit in with there friends.
Three piece boots are generally garbage. They sort of make sense for park but that's it.
Oyo boyo there's lots of hate for FT in this thread. Lots of it is warranted, to be fair. Super old design (ignoring the new Evo shells), pretty poor build quality... Yadda yadda.
I used to hate FT. Haaaate them. Wouldn't ever put them on anyone's feet and would jump at the chance to tell anyone that would listen why dalbello 3 piece boots were better. They are stiff enough laterally and for/aft enough to actually power skis, still have all the benefits of a 3 piece design, that sort of thing.
One slow day in the shop and I was throwing boots on my feet, ones that hadn't been on in a while because "I already know everything about them." You know, Salomon X-Pro, Lange RX- boots that have stayed pretty much the same fit wise over the last half decade. Really slow day. I'm standing there, flexing the first chair six, watching some Line Traveling Circus that happened to be on our TVs at the time... And it finally occurred to me. That feeling of rebound you get out of high quality boots, that spring, you've felt it if you've flexed any decent boot over the years, that thing that makes boots and the skis they're powering feel alive. The thing that FT boots completely lack- that's why they're great for what they're built for. The dudes that are using them usually couldn't give less of a shit about whether or not they'll make a comp ski turn over, or if they can get their hip to scrape the ground on a second step down race ski. All they want out of a boot is to (1) click in to bindings nad (2) not attack them when they bring stuff back down to earth. Full Tilts don't respond to you because all they're really trying to do is absorb shock. That's why they're so used in places like bump skiing and park. This was a huge epiphany for me. That they both have a purpose and that purpose is fine. It just isn't designed for me.
All of you can hate on Full Tilt all you want. But that's just trying to spit on a different kind of skier. For the dudes that just want a cool looking boot that actually kicks ass at what it's designed for, get them. And love them. And that should be okay.
These look like Raichle flexon boots.
Yes
Worth what? From what I saw they are pretty low priced compared to a lot of ski boots.
