Full Tilts leaking

I bought FT Konflicts today and used them for the first time. When I got home from the hill and pulled out the liners, I noticed something strange.

The liners are clearly wet! The other liner looks like this too. The wet spot seems to be under the toe buckle. Is this common in Full Tilts or do I have a defective pair? If this is common, should I do something about it? Tape the boots or something.
 
just a small leak, nothing to really get worried over. but, if you want to fix it, you can put some duct tape behind the screw/t-nut of the buckle. Your shop can do some more serious waterproofing but start there.
 
my boots do that but more..it is common i believe..just take your liners out ever day after skiing and they will dry out over night
 
My hotdoggers do the same thing. If you take out the liner and look at the bottom buckle on each foot theres space where snow can build up then melt and make your foot wet. You can either duct tape the inside part where it is or use some type of epoxy like J.B. weld, i used duct tape and it seemed to do the trick. By the way is this Cole? cause this is Collin...
 
bahahaha FUCK NO.

full tilts fit my feet perfect, they just leak like a bitch

and yeah collin this is cole. thanks for the tip man
 
full tilts do not have fluid inside of them, therefore they do not leak. water is seeping through the shell to the inside, which happens with pretty much every ski boot. just be sure to air them out every day after skiing. if your feet are actually getting SOAKED, and that bothers you, then tape it. my feet are always moist after skiing, mostly from sweat and a little from outside water. i don't notice it until i take my boots off though.
 
i have the new booters and my whole sole and half of the top part of my foot is soaked... i mean one day i poured water out of my shell
 
Oh, you can't use the word leak in that sense? Live and learn! In Finnish (my native language) I could say that my boots are leaking or that water is leaking into my boots.
 
Oh and I'm gonna do the duct tape trick. I guess I just don't like the idea of my brand new $400 boots letting water in. My old Dalbellos never did this.
Thanks for the help everyone!
 
I applied duct tape to the backside of the lower buckle. Another remedy is to remove the screw that hold the lower cable & put some clear silicone sealant on the threads & re-install it. No more water getting in.
