Ok so i have had the same pair of saloman ten-eighty ski boots for what seems like eternity, i am finally going to force my self to buy new boots so i dont have to wear 4 pairs of socks every-time i go.
my question is about Full tilts. i have never seen a pair where i live n ski so i was wondering if the tow box was super small like the diabelos. i know in the past salomans were a little wider than diableos, but i am wondering what the fulll tilts are like.
any feed back would be greatly appreciated.
 
Bootfitter as always, but I had teneighties back in the day, and now have rampages. Both fit me perfectly out of the box without the bootfitter having to do anything.
 
most places that sell ski equipment will have employees trained to fit you with a proper boot, as well as do stuff like heat molding and punching.
 
also check out intuition liners, they have a different fit that over laps more over your feet and you can heat mold them up to 4 times, i love them in my dalbellos
 
I have had salomon 1080s in the past (x-wave chasis) and dalbello rampage (std liner 2007) and have tried full tilts so I thought Id give my 2 cents.

The dalbello has more length and instep volume than the full tilt. The full tilt is narrower in the heel also. Dalbellos run big, full tilts run small.

I was really set on full tilts this year but they just dont fit my foot as I like to size small (10.5/11 skate shoe), I wear a 26.5 in ski boots. The 26/26.5 in the full tilt crippled my toes, I couldnt get my heel down, and doesnt have the instep volume I need. I have a medium/narrow foot (98mm measured) and a medium heel w a fairly high instep. I was surprised how well they didnt fit, even with a liner mould.

So then I thought Ill get the salomon shogun. Nice low volume fit, skis better than the 3 piece boot on icier days (more torsional stiffness I guess), But it comes with the salomon race liner, which has meant some cold toes. This season Im going to get some intuition liners for them to eliminate the hot spot I get on the top of my foot by creating more space, and get rid of the cold toes. I know this is going to be the sickest boot combo Ive had yet..

I even considered the salomon ghost but it is cripplingly tight as its based off a slighly different mould and has a warmer and thicker liner than the shogun.

 
how much would punching do cause i recently bought some kingstons (rampages) i think and the liner is actually uncomfortable in the toe area its a bit to short but then i put my old liners in the boot and they fit so the boot isnt to small just the liner. Can the fur be heat molded and punched and all that this is the first time i have ever owned new boots.
 
Ghost and Shogun come out of the same lower mold, so they are the same foot shape. The Ghost has a slightly different upper cuff, with the Power Control off of the X3 and Atomic race boots. And the liner has a quick-lace which makes it basically impossible to get into.
 
the dalbello toe box is most def smaller than the ft toe box.
