    Comments about Full Tilt Boots Tom Wallisch:

    I work park crew so I'm in them 6 or 7 days a week for usually 8 hours a day. They were done after about 10 weeks which was only the end of January at my hill. By the end of the season I had replaced half the buckles from them snapping while doing them up. Packed out so bad around the top I began to experience shinbang, calf-bang and the side of my leg bang if I ever fell. This would be a great boot for someone who rides only on weekends or had the money to buy a new pair every 2 or three months. Low quality product with a great design.

            They are very comfortable and warm. I had no problems with them until it got down to -40C. Then they pretty much froze stiff but nothing broke even with a few rough falls. These would be good if you don't ski -40 every day which probably no one does.

              Comments about Full Tilt Boots Tom Wallisch:

              So far the boot is just great, the boot is comfortable even though I'm still in the molding phase, meaning that they're going to be even more comfortable when they have finished molding to my feet. It would have been nice if FT would have included insoles, fortunately for me I had a pair.
              Hopefully next years models will have the insoles included.

                  NO SHIN BANG. ALL AFTERBANG!
                  Tom spends more time in ski boots than we do in our shoes, so this year we upgraded his pro model with NEW! Natural Rubber Soles on the toe & heel for non-slip walking & hiking that can even be replaced when they wear out. From multiple X-Games podiums to award winning video segments, Tom credits his boot’s lightweight comfort and precision for enabling him to stomp the biggest tricks like he never left the ground.

                  Read what Tom says about these boots & see him walk miles in his boots to raise money for MS.

                  QUICK FIT™ LINER TECHNOLOGY

                  MOLDS 100% TO FEET!
                  MOLDS 100% TO FEET!
                  Full Tilt Quick-Fit™ liners use authentic Intuition® foam that is body heat activated to mold 100% to your feet during use, or can be instantly heat molded by a shop in minutes.
                  WARM
                  WARM
                  Unlike conventional liners, our 100% foam construction is air tight with reduced seams to retain body heat like a wetsuit.
                  LIGHT
                  LIGHT
                  No heavy plastic parts or fillers. The lightweight foam construction makes your entire boot feel lighter.
                  WIDE TOE
                  WIDE TOE
                  For people with wider feet or prefer a little more wiggle room in the toe area, a thinner foam is used in the front of the liner to increase space without sacrificing control.
                  J-BAR
                  J-BAR
                  An additional J-shaped piece of foam is inserted internally on both sides of the ankle area to dramatically increase ankle hold down, to keep your feet perfectly in place for precise control.
                  POWERWRAP
                  POWERWRAP
                  An additional layer of ergonomically shaped High Density Intuition® closed cell foam is wrapped around the outside of the upper liner to increase energy transfer and horsepower to the shell.
                  PRO LAMINATE CONSTRUCTION
                  PRO LAMINATE CONSTRUCTION
                  The Pro Liner's laminates are specifically engineered to provide the most energy transfer to the shell while maintaining its warmth, light weight & custom moldable fit.
