Line is also making winter boots that look like FT, I’m scooping up a pair for me and my gf.

[@faceinthecrowd5810]

I am far from being a 24 year old park rider. I am a 64 year old skier who first put on ski boots in 1962, I have skied every year of my life since and taught skiing for 35 years. I came from high end race boots into FT’s back in 2010. Warmest and most comfortable boots yet but as a super technical skier if I could not carve and get the performance of my race boots, I would not have kept them. Luckily for me I still look like a total 1970’s hot dog superstar so the park vibe is not a ridiculous look for me,haha…..I can say seriously that as an aggressive expert experienced skier, I really care little about trends or sweet graphics, for me it’s all about the turns and my best turns have happened in my FT’s. Too bad 2022 is the end of that era, I hope that K2 doesn’t f%!{% the boots up.

[@rollerbladerjosh1]

insoles with arch support are a must for any ski boot

[@sir_bumpalot]

The classics with the harder tongue are great boots for powerfull skiing. Many people just watch like "wtf, whats this oldskool shit" but they fall silent after i carved circles around them. ;)

[@ncramz1662]

I owned a pair of classics with the 100% cable system and now own B&E's with the modified system. The original all cable system is fine in terms of adjustment options. I'd say it's almost if not just as adjustable as the modified system. The only problem is the durability. For me at least, the full cable system was much more prone to cables snapping as well as the adjustment buckles themselves getting jammed. It wasn't that big of a deal but I eventually sold them and the kid the bought them off me broke 2 more of the adjustment cables like a week later. So for me personally I like the B&E system better because it seems to last longer.

[@samdavenport6604]

lol nice name and profile pic

[@evangroshek5267]

I totally agree I ride full tilt first chair 2018 and I have no problem with adjustability

[@mrMatti200]

I’ve owned a pair of full tilts for 4 years now with the cable system, and the only thing that broke this far was the middle buckle, so I’d say they’re very durable. But I might’ve been lucky idk tho.

[@lorenzobc]

I have the FT First Chair 100’s and amazed by the cable system. Works well in my situation.

[@EpicSkiEdit1]

All I gotta say is get some booster straps, transfer so much more energy through turns compared to a stock power strap.

[@Tanner731]

you want intuition liners. dont get full tilts without the good liners

[@sambailey6621]

I had descendant 4s for some years and now ride dropkicks. Only problem with the descendants in my opinion is the arch of my foot also cramped and over time and i saw the cushioning in the tongue became less comfortable over time. The dropkicks are not as flexible as the descendants but are definitely more comfortable and more responsive. I also had to replace the sole on the descendants twice from busting it, but that may just be from stomping hard landings on jumps.

[@bodkizzz4279]

Going to buy them right now after this good review!

[@saucysauce593]

Are your boots rocker or camber?

[@parkerrebischke]

Neither

[@jackjohnson8937]

All three

[@maurinheusser5037]

thanks for this video i searched a long time for such a video about this boots good job

[@boomhole3885]

The full cable boot have a good amount of adjust ment

[@BradmanGaudry]

I have the single cable boots u showed on the screen. Feels great

[@twintipnation2758]

Get boots that fit! Fit is key. I bought Full Tilts online and they just didn’t fit my feet right. I could tell my skiing was much less responsive. My fault , not the boots’

[@AitchT.]

Twin Tip Nation but how do you know if there’s no shops around to try :(

[@ImperviouslyGaming]

@@AitchT. buy and then return them if they don't fit.... thats how online shopping works. Returns is always a thing

[@stillnessinmovement]

full clip system probably works a LOT better. I wore old flexon comps for years, best fitting and riding boot ever. any ski boot should be custom fit to the individual. paying full price and getting the boot dialed in is a key to comfort.

[@Sktglsglglglsyiflsoy]

2015 full tilt classics single cable. I think theres more adjustment than the clips however they are a HUGE pain to find exactly where you want them, where as the clips i feel you could find your “sweet spot” and always adjust it to that point.

[@levibonnell7258]

I bought technica mach 1s for the same retail as full tilts, full tilt just doesnt make wide enough boots and I needed a boot that could easily be punched because of my odd foot shape. With my old boots they were actaully grinding on my anklebone and I have tissue degeneration there now

[@tocksick1242]

same i actually have a pinched nerve because of that

[@walle7361]

My full tilt 2017 descendent 6 just arrived today. And they were only 225

[@sebastienheaney2488]

Walle73 I rode the 2018 great boots except the buckles snapped on the bottom

[@mjackdooley9053]

Bro my rossignols were 400

[@oonflore]

Walle73 have you put them to test yet? im considering to buy descendant 6 aswell and wanna know if they are good

[@Soapy007]

I would argue the cable makes you have way better adjustability in a more comfortable manner.

[@calvinarmstrong2810]

I have a pair of drop kicks that are 100% cable. And they are super adjustable so no one should have to worry about that! Thanks so much for the awesome vids!

[@ZacharyBureau420]

Calvin Armstrong im thinking about buying drop kicks and I’d like to know what you think about how much warmth they provide. I usually ride at temperatures of -15 degres Celsius. On rare occasions the temperature can go as down to -25 . Do you think I’ll be good with them?

[@allenchristopher8095]

Zachary Bureau your feet will always stay warm with FT

[@jpxc1329]

I have the classic pro with the cable system and probs my fav boots and the adjustment is awesome and so easy and can really get the boots tight

[@johnschulz7419]

I have serious shin pain when I ski. Should I consider buying ft boots

[@freeskier6377]

John Schulz yes defo if they fit your feet well

[@norwegiannature3050]

I have the same problem, if I was going 2 times in a row for ski I had so much pain . I will definitely try to buy one of these

[@TheAtomicMango]

they're affordable on sale and good if they fit your feet well 🤷‍♂️

[@jake8011]

the single cable has just as much adjustability because it has a dozen micro adjustable clips

[@santinosunseri7692]

The cables adjust too same amount as be and e love full tilt only boot I buy

[@klubstompers]

My chair 6 boots are soo uncomfortable, only rode them 2 days after getting them fitted and molded, couldnt do it any more, went back to my old Solomon SPK's and its night as day how much better the SPK's feel, respond, and fit. Full tilt's are too tall, and im 6'4". They just dont feel good. They press right on the shin bone and dig in hard.

[@mango_46]

Single cable system has more adjustability in my opinion

[@borky1987]

Are they also good for beginners, for on piste skiing?

[@b-rich1116]

I've just recently gotten into park skiing this past season thanks to you and your vids and am still trying to learn a lot of the basics. Do u think a pair of boots like this would be a lot better than my dalbello normal ski boots? Would it give me any sort of advantage?

[@TheBagOTricks]

B-Rich 1 if you're super new to park, I doubt you'll see a huge difference. When you start sending bigger features then you should think about switching to park boots.

[@getsumbread2353]

The Bag o' Tricks so when I'm better at park, then I should get these right. I'm so bad I almost broke my leg on a rail lol

[@adullday3296]

Skorpio Vt So don't change your boots it isn't worth it. I know some people who ski park with some 120 flex ski boots and are fine with them.

[@fernandog.aguirre2791]

Good burping and great review!!!! good comments and very well detailed ! Thanks a lot!

[@getsumbread2353]

At what age should I buy a full set of gear instead of doing ski swaps every year?

[@JakefromStateFarm292]

Skorpio Vt you should probs get the entire set when you stopped growing

[@ZacharyBureau420]

Honestly full tilts don’t flex right for me. It gives me the outmost worst shin pain in the workd

[@EpicSkiEdit1]

Prob have the top buckle tightened too much, I got booster straps and barley tighten the top buckle. Shin bang gone👍🏻

[@connorritchie8831]

Im really considering buying full tilts, and im really not sure to which to buy. Can you make a video on this? There are so many options im not sure which to buy.

[@TheBagOTricks]

Connor Ritchie I can't really give tips on other full tilts, I've only ever worn one pair. If you're getting full tilts I'd aim for one of their top tier boots.

[@redfarm9432]

Connor Ritchie Just get a pair of balls and buy some b and e's and just thrash the park

[@connorritchie8831]

yea i was thinking dropkicks

[@jjeanedoe]

It will totally be personal preference. I tried the Plush and holy hell, they were just too wide(which didn't make a difference in the shop, but made a HUGE difference on the mountain.) I tried a pair of Tom Wallisch's in the shop and immediately noticed a discomfort in the top of my arch/instep once I buckled tight. Hated it. I have the Soul Sisters now and I haven't had any issues, I adore them! Many of my coworkers like the Drop Kicks, but you just have to realize that everybody's foot is different. One person's dream boot will be another person's nightmarish hell boot. I would recommend finding a shop that stocks them and spending like 3 hours there trying em all out til you've decided.

[@yolojamesjames5510]

yo I just got full tilts did anyone else buy full tilts used and did u get ankle pain and arch pain from it rubbing?

[@DJGeekWolf]

How warm were they for you? Especially in the pow

[@TheBagOTricks]

Never had an issue. They do tend to get wet easily though.

[@doug2961]

lo key those look hecka old i would have gone with a different color, good vid though

[@wxndgo]

I ride Nordica gpx boots and I love them

[@gnarnation5975]

This guy doesnt know ski history full tilt boots are a recreation of boots from the 70s and 80s

[@wallstreetoneil]

They're not a re-creation - it's just a rename as the company changed hand a few times. What they really are, are space moon boot Nasa technology where you could get foot/ankle articulation but still have a hard spacesuit to maintain an environment for a human to survive in. The guy who designed it for NASA, ended up bringing the idea to skiing. And now the name is no more again - and they will be called K2s.

[@mjackdooley9053]

That’s cheap!My Rossignols were 400.well yours are expensive,but some are cheap.

[@mikew7058]

Buy Dalbello boots not full tilt. Dalbello created most of the features you highlighted in this video and they do it better! Full tilt boots are always breaking.

[@jpxc1329]

Never had any issues with mine at all on my 4th pair cause liners get packed out. And don’t feel like getting new liners for half the price of a whole new boot

[@DjDougieT]

where is your home mountain at? I am trying to ski wit you one day brotha. I go to Okemo a hecka ton and then killington and Mt snow and more

[@hunterkid60510]

Any tips on helping reduce shin pain? I usually ski 2-3 times a week in the winter and by the 4th week I have the WORST shin bang ever

[@YouSuckLikeUrFriends]

dont be gay

[@rollerbladerjosh1]

i always got really bad shin bang in my rossignol axium 120 until i got custom insoles and i havent gotten shin bang since

[@jjeanedoe]

@@rollerbladerjosh1 First, make sure you are not leaning back("riding backseat"). Also, I have heard many people having success by replacing their velcro straps with Booster straps, which have an elastic in them and much better response, so there's an idea.

[@bigbadb0y19]

Why did you delete your update about full tilt ski boots review?

[@ColReb1969]

Haha. The tongue is not innovative at all. They just bought the Raichle design.

[@nickcowen4565]

I had full tilts fitted at a shop and they still didn't feel right when skiing on them far too soft to be used all over the mountain but great park and street skis. the intuition liner was the worst bit as it wraps around there was part of my leg with lots of pressure and i got bruises from this pressure. go for a full tilt boot if you only ski park and i mean if you never ski anything else and if not buy the stiffest full tilts you can get and get a traditional liner with the cable and buckle combo.

[@nickcowen4565]

cant fault the impact protection in the heel and how easy they are to get into, also super light weight

[@sir_bumpalot]

I was a pro racer in younger years, and i never gave up my original Raichle boots till they broke. Since 2 years a have the Full Tilt Classic with the "10" tongue, and they are stiff enough to carve on ice with SL racing ski and full attack.

[@lukemacneil7975]

[@shredcavemedia3764]

That tree skiing footage was painful to watch! Nobody ever taught you how to use you pole straps??? BRO!!!!!! Lean forward and make pole plants! Half the reason people get shin-bang is because they were leaning back in their ski boots for the whole ski season smh....... FULL TILTs for life! just tell people to get the FT CLASSICS --- the hype is real but unless you are competing in moguls or slopestyle you dont need any of the fancy pro models.

[@TheBagOTricks]

My shin was split open during that trip, a major reason for not leaning forward haha. I was backseat in all of my Killy clips for that reason.

[@shredcavemedia3764]

I was ski racing in 1988 in Koflachs, then Technicas and then Langes- ouch friggin ouch ! every spring forced to skip skiing the last few weeks of soft snow ruined by shin bang.... aka Lange Bang. when I started coaching skiing in my junior year I was in Raichles loving life.. thank you NASA! then when Raichle went under we were sad for a minute ,,,but Plake jumped on with Dalbello and we were back in the game!! but thank Jesus that FT bought Raichles original mold back because Dalbellos are friggin heavy compared to my FT classics.
