I have been rocking some Dalbello Voodoo's now for a couple years and they are getting a bit to tight on my feet. I know many skiers use full tilts but why are they so popular? Are there any other brands that i should take a look at?
 
No other good brands, full tilt is literally the only safe way to go, also how else will people know that you're a good skier
 
That's the stupidest piece of advice you could have offered, why would he go there if full tilts are the only viable choice anyways
 
Seriously man, go with this.

but make sure you get the right ones, you dont want to buy fulltilts for groomers and then find out you like powder, for which you would need the powder fulltilts.
 
OP please ignore a number of the above comments. Your best bet is to go and see a bootfittet who can take a look at your feet and find the best boot for you. A bootfittet will also sort you with a good footbed (somethmg you definitely want to have).
 
Where are they too tight? If its width you can pretty much count full tilts out. Regardless go to a ski shop that stocks a fair amount of ski boots and has a decent fitter on hand. Tell him what you want the boot for and let him guide you and try a bunch on.

seeing as voodoo's have a 103 last and you're saying they're too tight... I don't think any full tilts would work for you
 
i doubt OPs feet just started getting wider after four years...seems like a length problem. and coming from a 103mm last, the FT influence shell (102mm) could work. But as those with a brain have stated above, go to see a boot fitter, you won't regret it.
 
just go to a boot fitter and try a bunch off boots on. Which ever one fits the best will probably work the best. Hope This helps!
 
Yep the problem is with lenght and not width. A boot fitter would propobaly be the best choice but since the local shops here are few and far between and most of them doesn't really have a good offering i was wondering about ordering online. Finland, not really the mecka of skiing. Sorry for my bad english
 
Never get boots online. Even shops with a limited selection of boots will be able to get you in a better boot then you could get buying online. All boots require having the insole changed to somthing surportive and this can only be done in a shop. So go chat to some of the staff in your local shops. Maybe get them to look at your feet an recommend some boots. Most people don't really even know how wide a boot they need let alone size and overal volume so it's for these reasons a boot fitter is so inportant.
 
I've heard of this small time, underground boot brand many hot-doggers have been using now adays. They're called Raichle Flexon ski boots and are totally rad! They're the new hip thing with the youth!
