Something that fits.

Go to a bootfitter, tell him what you'll be skiing, let him measure your foot and BUY THE BOOT THAT FITS. Don't buy a boot because it's a FullTilt or looks sweet, buy it for fit.

inb4 fulltilt. Get something that fits. I will admit that a little less than a year ago, I was really new to freeskiing and I fell into the full tilt trap.

 

[dreadyboy]

[eddy9]

Thanks but in spain we dont have boot fitters anyway wat does falling in the full tilt trap mean are they bad boots?

 

[CCampbell-A1]

FullTilts aren't bad boots, but people tend to buy them because they're

FullTilts, not because they fit.

Wait until the next time you go

to France or somewhere with real skiing, get your boots fitted there.

You won't regret it. If all else fails, go into the shop and try a bunch

on yourself.

Don't just try them on, walk around in them, flex them, make sure there are no pressure points. make sure they're not too wide for your foot, that there is no space behind your ankle, and that with your foot in the shell (liner removed) there is only 1-2 fingers worth of space behind your heel with your toes pushed all the way forward.

But seriously, go to the mountains and find a legit bootfitter. You won't regret it.
