#theyllalwaysbefulltits I know things come and go and that’s just the way of life but this one hits differently. The news of Fulltilt going away as a brand name honestly kinda hurts. This brand has been a staple of the ski industry for as long as I’ve been skiing. I remember like it was yesterday, it wasn’t long after i had gotten into skiing more then a day or two a season I wanted to get full tilt boots. I remember watching old level 1 movies and thinking I was gonna save all my summer money and buy them. Finally I saved enough and bought a pair of these beauties

and skiing wasn’t the same for me. I had comfy feet and even though I never properly got fitted they still were comfy. Over the years I owned the descendant series when they first came out and for my wider feet they were so comfy even more then my old ones. I did some much crazy stuff in them boots including skiing behind a boat on my skis. As I grew older I started touring and doing less park so I unfortunately went away from FT and tried other boots but none of them ever fit perfectly like my FTs did. Then they released the ascendant collection and I was so hyped! I could finally be back in a FT and get into happy feet again! I finally got a pair and my feet haven’t been the same again. Are FTs for everyone, of course not. Are they a staple of this industry for the last 20 years? Oh most definitely! I know they’re not going away which I’m thankful for but damn it it’s not gonna be the same and to me #theyllalwaysbefulltits I don’t know if any of that made any sense but that was my thoughts this morning. Thank you [tag=127396]@FullTiltBoots[/tag] [tag=17763]@JLev[/tag] for running with a old design and producing quality products and changing the freeskiing scene for so many of us and giving us happy feet Much love y’all

Full tilt boots are just the best. Great brand. The 3 piece system makes so much sense. So easy to get in and out of. But I think those shoelace things on those old boots were ugly asf. Not a fan

Nah those were heat some of the best models ever IMO
 
Just ordered an extra pair of Dropkick Pro's, just to have peace of mind. Used to have unimaginably terrible problems with my feet/boots, but these fit like a glove My current pair isn't a year old yet so looking forward to still ride Full Tilts for a few seasons!
 
Can you really call yourself a park skier if you haven't ignored all of ns and bootfitters and just gone out and bought a pair of full tilts just to realize they don't fit your foot lol
 
Full Tilt is definitely a massive part of the freestyle skiing culture. I remember the time 8-9 years ago when they were still kind of new and not many stores were selling them, so kids spent days customizing their SPKs and other boots to look like full tilts.

Also this ad for the second Wallisch pro were Tom plays basketball with them was legendary.

I have a trusty pair of about six year old Booters that I still ski 100 days a season. Had to get new liners a couple of years ago but they still holding up great. I've hesitant to get new boots because they fit so well.

Growing up seeing all the pros and cool kids at my hill wearing Full Tilts made me consider them the one and only park boot and only brand I'll buy. I will for sure get new pair this season and stock up with spare parts, cause I'll rep Full Tilt as long as possible.

No shinbang, all afterbang for life!

Back at ya!!! The original 3 piece design would have been long dead if it wasn't for the support of all of YOU skiers riding them, so THANK YOU!!! This includes 30 years ago as Raichle... since 2006 as Full Tilt... and the future as K2. Keep it going!
