So im currently running the full tilt drop kicks and either i got a size to small or they are just to narrow for my foot, i got them molded skiied a full season on them and they just never broke in how i anticipated them to. Im currently in 28.5s, ill have to try some 29s on but for now does anyone got any good suggestions for a wider boot? Thanks

The newer full tilt shell called decendant I think are supposed to be wider.

i heard those are super shitty quality so idk, ill go to the boot fitter and check out the 29.5s i think i got a size to small..
 
I had drop kicks and I felt the same way, they just never fit right for me (no full tilts do), got technica cochise 120's now, much nicer. Also was able to get tech toe/heel piece which is another reason I got new boots

ill have to check them out and go to all my local shops and try a bunch of different boots on. i really liked the feel of the FT just not the fit..

trying on lots of boots will only confuse you. Best bet is to allow a fitter to selct the boots for you. The descendant offers a wide fit if you want to stay full tilt but fit should be the priority so if you find another brand works better for your foot shape go with that.

Tey have there issues like all full tilts do but I would not say they are worth out right dismissing. If you need a wide fit but really want to stick with a three piece they are a good option. I skied them quite a bit while reviewing them. But as I said just have a fitter select the best boot for you don't try to find them by yourself. The shell check is the best way to determine what will work. Just your trying boots on will tell you very little as the ones whic will probably work best will all feel too small out of the box.

Sounds like you probably like the look more than the feel, because if they don't fit right then they shouldn't feel right. You probably just really wanted Full Tilt.

A shell check is how we asses weather a boot will work for you or not. The loner is removed and we compare the shape of the shell to your foot. There are around 5 things we look for and according to how the shell compares to your foot we can know weather a boot will work for you and what fitting will need to be done. Simply having a customer try a boot on tells us absolutely nothing as everyone will have a differnt view of how it feels. If the guy selling you boots is not doin a shell check then he is not a bootfitter

yeah he definatly didnt do a shell check im sorta a newb to the skiing scene. i can ride park all day(rails jumps) but when it comes to what gear im a newb hahaha Thanks!!
 
look into the dalbello boss 110. Three piece thats not a shitty fulltilt. As said before, go to a bootfitter, but its a good wide alternative to the tilts
