Serious Question. do they have any functional value for a middle aged Wall Street guy? I know this Joey who brags about his full tilts but never hit a park jump in his life. They don't seem like boots I would wear to hit groomers or the occasional EC powday. Thoughts?
 
Here is the good thing about full tilts. The tongue adjust. You buy a boot that comes in 4,6,8, and 10 on the flex options for the tongue. If you don't like the flex it came in, too stiff like a 10 or too soft like a 4, just pay like 20 bucks for a new tongue rather than 300 for a new boot
 
A ton of value for Johnny Wall Street or Susie Stock Broker but also great for everything else. In freestyle, skiers love them because of the flex, weight, comfort, ect but for the other 90% of skiers (lets just call them normal skiers) being able to be more comfortable, warm and having a wayyy easier time getting into them is key. With the tongue design, you can open the boot up so much more than overlaps so you're not jamming your foot in and keep them on all day. -j
 
If your a middle aged Wall Street guy, then probably should go to the smartest techs with the biggest selection of boots and get your feet fitted. Full Tilts are nice as they're probably the easiest to put on/take off...
 
I forgot how frustrating ski boots are to take on and off after wearing full tilts for a few years. They are convenient, comfortable, and pretty light. I should also mention that compared to older boots, these have seemed warmer for me. This may not be the case for all though.
 
full tilts are nice but my homies that have switched away from them say they have better edge control. Im a park rat so i don't need the best edge controll in the world just something locked down to my foot .
 
Thanks everyone! I really don't know anytgi g about them just that lots of park skiers use them. Lightweight and comfortable seems nice to me. I should have checked them out
 
One of my good friends ski patrols at A basin and lives and dies by his FTs he claims that for his job they provide everything he needs which is a lot when you are spending 4 full days a week in ski boots
