        Went from high end race boots that were brutal to put on and heavy, and back to the boots that made my skiing experience enjoyable again! Been skiing for over 45 years and these boots are the best design for alpine skiing.

        Best Uses

        • Park

        Comments about Full Tilt Boots Classic:

        Full Tilt boots are the best boots i have ever ridden on. These boots are great all around because they work well in both park and moguls. I have had them for a year, and they have not broken or become less comfortable. The 3 piece design is a must-have in ski boots--this special design allows for maximum comfort with minimum pain to the shins. The one con i have about Full Tilt boots are the buckles. After about a season they started to loosen up and the buckles did not stay in place.

        Comments about Full Tilt Boots Classic:

        The full tilt classic boots are not just good park boots, but are all around great boots. The boots never give me shin bang even when land back seat of the biggest jumps. The only bad things about the boot are that i get toe bang, and after skiing on them for about a season, the buckles start loosening up and don't stay in the place where you adjusted them to. these boots are great and i will continue riding full tilt boots my whole skiing career.

              I ski a little all mountain but 90% of the time im in the park. these boots are sick for freestyle, nice and lightweight and the liner formed perfectly to my feet so i have great control of the boot. and they look awesome this year.

                Comments about Full Tilt Boots Classic:

                Ski boots are about fit & performance, not fashion. The Flexon is a great design with swappable tongues for soft/stiff boot preference. Traditional overlap boots are heavy, difficult to put on/take off & they only offer one flex option. I suggest trying multiple foot-bed options for comfort & a precise fit.
