      Comments about Full Tilt Boots Classic:

      The got the design right in the 1980's. No reason to change perfection.

      I've skied almost every other manufacturer over the last 35 years, and no other boot can match this design for the overall comfort, performance, and ease of use.

      It just makes sense.

          Comments about Full Tilt Boots Classic:

          Took this up the hill first day, hiked for about 2 hours, great grip with the soles. Dropped some sweet cliffs felt really sturdy and responsive, I ski the Pollards Opus, steezy planks by the way. Anyway no two weeks on feels even better comfyest boots ever, feels good fro tricks in the pow to. I dropped some 30ft backflips in knee deep pw, feel smooth and flexy on the landings, there is a reason its a classic, radical boot. Full Tilt forever

            Sick of wearing boots that hurt I decided to try these on a recommendation. Fitting was easy, and boots were super confortable from day one... What a difference it makes to be pain free on the slopes.

            True to it's reputation

            Comments about Full Tilt Boots Classic:

            This is my third season with these boots. They kill my feet the first day, feel OK on the second, kill again on the 3rd, and then are a dream for the rest of the season. Repeat every season. So... 5 stars.

            I am glad to see that FT now has an Upper Cable Insert, since the shortness of the upper cable has been one of only two gripes that I have with the boot. Up to this point, I've left the upper cable opened, and just secured the top with the power strap. That settles that.

            My other gripe is more sport-specific. Since I skiboard, rather than ski, I prefer a more upright stance. I've mucked with the adjustment to get it into the most upright stance supported, but it is still not upright enough, and I'm not willing to shave any of the plastic off like the ski-boarding websites recommend.

                I've been skiing original Raichle Flexons for years. Finally, one of them cracked so I purchased the Classic from Full Tilt. Same size and excellent fit!! The best boots out there.

                Comments about Full Tilt Boots Classic:

                WOW! I thought that this boot was going to be all hype, but now I'm convinced not. It is the most comfortable boot I've ever put my foot into, and I tried on a lot of boots. I have both low volume and a flat feet, so finding boots that fit that is almost impossible, unless it has a buckle in the middle, like these. I also have somewhat skinny feet, so the 99mm last is awesome, plus the flex is crazy. I might be a little weird, but I've actually slept in my boots. This boot is actually the greatest boot I've ever put on my feet. Thanks Full Tilt, and can't wait for my new Tom Wallisch's to come in this year!
