Because my boots don`t even fit at the most expensive bindings. I bought so much bindings that i now have no more money for boots. Please Full Tilt help my out.
Howdy. I feel I have to admit that I am not a skier... I board. Why am I entering this comp? I hear you asking. It is because my friend bitches all day long about his feet hurting. Seriously, from first to last chair he winges and moans about how his feet hurt. It's f***ing annoying. The dude is a good skier and he is really fun to ride with but I want to relax on the lift not listen to his complaining. I want to ride all day not go to a cafe so he can take his boots off. I tell him he needs to get a different boot but he says that he would loose responsiveness. Please ship me a pair so I can get back to shredding in peace. Tah.
Born and raised in Alaska I push myself and my gear to the limit. I need something that is comfortable, stable, and will last. I know Full Tilt to be all of these things and would love to win a new pair with my old 09 booters finally falling apart. Thanks for the consideration!

I NEED NEW BOOTS! I am a avid, dedicated, passionate, skiing ethusiest with size 30mp flipper feet. It is almost IMPOSSIBLE to find a high end, performance boot that fits my foot. I squeeze in 29.5s and wollow in pain so that I can have a responsive boot to charge around on. All my research tells me that FT will work for me and they manufacture for bigfoot! Unfortunately no retailers carry the size in Australia (I live in oz) and no international retailers can ship them to Australia (I think because of contractual agreements with FT in order to protect the Australian price point). Alas, I am left to look at my PC screen searching obsecure sites and ebay in hope of a 30 coming available. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give me a set so I can charge all day long. Ps I also need the boots to match my sweet FT teeshirt. Peace
Going on my fifth year of skiing, i have always had problems with my feet. when i started getting into park skiing i could barely do anything. even without hitting many jumps my feet and shins were in unbearable pain after every day. then when i got the hang of skiing, it got worse. one day when i hit a jump, everything went normal until the landing. i only did a 3 which i had done many times before. i ended up breaking 3 toes. a couple weeks later i got Full Tilts and went right out still with semi broken toes. i could ski fine with them . they are the most comfortable boots ever. wearing them for three years i have yet to get any shinbang. they have made me a better skier too!!
Going into my third season as a seasonaire in the Three Valleys, my boots are about to collapse. they have been great, but I have always wanted a pair of Full Tilts. My best friend Ethan (pictured) has the Seth Morrison 2012 which hes had ever since our first season together. Sam the other seasonaire we go out with, purchased some dropkicks last season, and he is pulling some insane tricks in the park which he puts down to his boots and not being worried about shin bang. this season we have all signed contracts for a small company based in reberty village where we are the only three male chalet hosts. PLEASE DONT LET ME GO ANOTHER SEASON BEING LEFT BEHIND! by my mates who are both wearing your full tilts
My names Sam, and i have just completed a season in the 3 Valleys France. i spent the hole season saving my tips to buy the dropkicks 2013! this was because i was pushing myself both off piste and in the park and my old boots gave me major shin bang. now i have Full Tilts i love the park and big jumps off piste! and I'm able to push myself more then i ever imagined! unfortunately this has left my committed girlfriend (who seasons with me) to do nothing else but hold the camera! as she has similar boots to my old ones.....although as you can see she is pretty handy with a lens she currently lacks the enthusiasm to commit to next season (due to he old boot giving her problems) but i KNOW a pair of Full Tilts will make her inching to go.
hi full tilt. i have a pair of what you would call really worn ski boots. these beauties are a pair of 80's technica tnt race boots. i had a pair of drop kicks but eventually they got to small. i didn't have the money to buy a new pair so my good o'l mom went to a sports swap store and grabbed these for 40 bucks. these are race boots but i do park so after a day in these boots my shins are a banged as can be. all the screws on these boots are rusted and they are all scratched and incredibly smelly. plus one of the buckles refuses to move so one boot is always tighter then the other. the bottom is completely scratched and will barely fit into my binding. and to top these amazing boots off they are already way to small for me so not only do i get shinbang, i also have no blood going to my feet all day while i ski. please help me!!!!!!!

I just finished up my first full season in the Seth Morrison (11-12) Pro Model Full Tilt boot and they're fantastic-lightweight, stiff enough, comfortable, and easy to adjust and get in and out of. My entry into this contest is kind of a combination of why I'm keeping the design alive and why I'd like a new pair. The reasons I just stated are why I'm keeping the design alive and the reasons I'm about to state are why I'd like a new pair but not necessarily because they aren't working. 1) The 12-13 version of my Seths have a Vibram sole that is replaceable in both the toe and heel, mine only have a replaceable heel piece and do not have the Vibram sole that would be very helpful when hiking around on rock or even in the parking lot, 2) I have had to replace several parts on the boot starting with the stock power strap which did nothing until I put a Booster strap on it $50, the inner right disc that covers the ankle hinge due to ski edge hits, the #8 tongue was not stiff enough for my liking so I had to replace it with a #10 which was $50, the top two cables became so loose by the end of the season that I had to buy shorter cables $15 each, and now the bottom buckle has completely come apart on me. I'm still at a loss as to how I'll assemble a new lower buckle and cable together to the tune of another $30 and $15 bucks each. All things considered, I still love the boots, they're great in terms of lightness, stiffness, and no shin-bang. I'm going to keep using them and I just need to replace a few things but man, I'd love to have a pair of the newest Seths with the Vibram soles and supposedly improved shell. I'll try to post a photo as soon as my camera charges up.
I got my pair of Hot Doggers last Christmas, I wanted them super bad even though I was pretty bad at park. But this season I worked super hard with my sexy new pair of Full Tilts and now I can firmly say that I am one of the best terrain park skiers in my area. But when you work hard some things are worn out, like my boots. I also did some pretty dumb things this season, for example I tried to hit a jump with one ski (Which actually went better than expected) and go down a double black diamond with one ski. Not the greatest idea mainly because I sprained my knee and was not able to ski for a solid three weeks, and three weeks is a long time when you have friends that talk about skiing 24/7. but when that sprain was done with, I also had to go to Mexico with my family for a week, and normally that would be awesome but I just couldn't stop thinking about shredding up the park with my Full Tilts. the worst part about all of this is that the end of the season was nearing and I hadn't skied in four weeks. when I got back though, pretty much the entire park was melted down, so all I had left to do was the slush cup. To summarize how that was: freezing cold river water and then boiling hot hot tub also filled with river water. anyways, I think that those pair of Hot Dogger Full Tilts helped me a ton in learning how to shred up the park and have styling boots at the same time. but with the park being shredded, my boots have worn out quite a bit also, so I would very much appreciate to re-experience the joy of having a new, fresh pair of FT's. Thanks for reading!
Full Tilt/Raichle/Dynafit Touring Monster....... After 250 days skiing in my first pair of full tilts I decided to retire them. That retirement only lasted 2 days however, as I found an old pair of Raichle shells in a garage sale and quickly mashed together old and new, along with some homemade dynafit fittings to create the Full Tilt Touring Monster. My first run on these was down the West face of Mt Aspiring, New Zealand. A definite no-fall zone. The boots not only held together but they lapped it up, and were a joy to ski tour in. I would however love a new pair of full tilts as the liners are starting to fall apart, and the raichle shells are well over 20 years old!
These are all that is left of my beloved Booters, after some low down, no morals, scum bag decided to take mine from the hostel I was staying in! (I had my flex 8 tongues in at the time) I am currently in NZ waiting for the snow to come and the southern hemi season to start! Now not only have I to deal with the fact that snow park is going to be closed for this season to the public, I have to do it without my Full Tilts! And i don't know if you know this but full tilt boots are hard to get in Queenstown, NZ and seem to be double the price they are everywhere else in the world!
Ah, the classic Raichle flexon. The good ole ski boot. My dad got them when they came out back in the '80s, and used them until I begged him to let ME have them. Why? Why would a 15 year old park rat want a pair of Raichle boots!? Because all I've wanted was a pair of Full Tilts, like Tom Wallisch. I could never afford them, so I figured, hey these look like Full Tilts! They served me well until they randomly shattered. I can't complain though, they've lasted for 30 years. So now I ask of you, Full Tilt, choose me to win a new pair of Full Tilts so I can keep repping the ribs!!!!
Wearing rear entry boots is a hazard not only to me, but to everyone around me. The three piece design of Full Tilts provides incomparable flex; which would allow me to drive safely with boots AND throw down on the slopes! These boots I have now are simply not getting the job done. Luckily, the runner I hit was uninjured but I am being sued by the city for crushing the trees and bushes, so I'll need some help getting my new boots.

I have a pair of scarpa touring boots that are not supossed to be skied on din bindings because of the bases traction. About half of the srtaps are broken and they pop out in the middle of a run. They have a touring switch in the back but it is broken so they are always in tour mode. They are about 10 years old. They have custom made shoe lace so my feet stay in and the sole has a hole in it. Shin bang happens in about 2 runs. The insert is broken and is torn. Yes the other one is mine i just posted the wrong pic.

You see that how much flex they have? Nope didnt think so. I've been skiing on this pair of secondhand basement bought Dalbello Aerro 150's for about 4 years now and I'm a park rat by trade so I end up using these boots usually three times a week and I'm in high school. These boots have resulted in destroyed shins as well as frostbitten toes numerous times. I have been stocking up on pretty much anything I'm gonna need after I graduate. Since I'm broke I haven't been able to get a pair of Full Tilt boots for a while and it would literally be the best that ever happened to me in my skiing career if i got a pair of your boots since i would use them until they were literally falling apart...but since it's full tilt i know they won't.
My little buddy on the right recently got some TW full tilts. As you can see we were all matching until then. I am very jealous that he didn't get a pair for me. You see, we train together but he usually tries the tricks first. He told me he was getting too much shin and tow bang and thats why he got his full tilts. Now he's making me try all the tricks first, so I crash a lot. My boots that i have now are not living up to the 3 piece design and the intuition liner that my lil' friend is always talking about. I get the exact same tow and shin bang he told me about and it hurts. Taking ice baths aren't exactly FUN after skiing a long day. And it would be very nice if I added after bang not get shin bang after I land a jump, just like my lil' buddy.
I am 15 this month I’ve been skiing since I was 4 and I love the sport more than anything, I go to my local dry slope to practice my freestyle and go abroad for 3 weeks to get the snow and the POW, but I have been wanting a pair of full tilt boots for about 1 and a half years now but have never been able to come up with the money and I am currently skiing on some really old Nordica second hand boots which give me the most painful shin bangs and little flex they are really uncomfortable and they have a chip in the toe and don’t even fit but I still ski on. I am a freestyle skier and dream of having some full tilt boots so I know whether I’m hitting jumps or rails I can have that comfort and flex in the boot that everyone is talking about. If I get a pair of your boots I will never change for any other boots. I have seen all of your boots and would be honoured to wear them. They would be the best birthday present I could ever wish for. Thank you
My name is Sloppy Joe... I need you to give me the "boot" because this season (my first one with a pass) I used rentals and learned what shinbang is! Interestingly enough i was really wanting FullTilts for next year, did alot of research, and learned the story behind them. I am DVT living in GWS CO.sunlight.. anyway the other night walking through downtown I noticed a pair of Raichles at the curb for spring clean up.GROUND SCORE! and at Aspen Highlands, last day, riding with Benny the Blade and WonderWoman.. met a man who manages an Aspen Mtn equip store.. who confirmed what I thought, THEY'RE STILL GOOD!!!! only the guts have been replaced.. way I see it these may have had 3 or more owners by now, but I'm proud and honestly.. I only need liners.. help the kid out! I BOMB! ask anyone! I need LINERS ONLY MAN... but whatever you see fit!! I see the contest is over but again.. HELP THE KID OUT!
My boots give me the worst shin bang ever when im stomping new tricks. Sometimes when i land backseat ill bang my shins up and be done skiing for the rest of the day. The 3 piece design with the flexible tongue could really help me stomp bigger and more clean tricks in the park without having the pain to slow me down. Full tilt please choose me to be your boot reciever

Im Joey and i have been skiing on the dalbello krypton boos and they are extremely uncomfortable especially because my feet have grown allot in the last couple months. I used to have some full tilts and they were the greatest boots i have ever had. I learned to backflip on them when i was ten. My Dalbello boots never offered the comfort i need. In fact they mad my toe nail fall of. I also have had bad shin problems because when I was little I used to skate board allot. My friends get mad when they have to stop while skiing because i have to take my boots off and adjust. I have been trying to get some Full Tilts but they are just out of my price range. I really hope you guys pick me I'm a huge fan!!!!

i've been skiing on a pair of rossignol scratch for quite some years now. i go skiing at least once a week in the winterseason, and the same thing happens every day...shinbang :( my rossi boots are also beginnig to die, they are WAY to soft, the sole has no damping and the liner is destroyed. and the design, well... it seems like it's not made for human feet. and god how heavy they are i've tried some full tilts from my friends, and they are simply just a dream to wear. they are light, comfy and has the best flex and damping ever. i really hope that i'll get a pair soon. it would be totally awesome!
My mom is the awesomest ski mom ever. She unknowingly married a man who loves to ski and was forced to learn to ski at age 23. She supported all four of her boys in becoming big skiers. She packs a bitchin' ski lunch and cheers our tricks. But not from the lodge. She skis with us and she pays the price. With her feet mostly. She's been skiing a pair of old ski swap boots for six years now. It would rock her world to discover what real ski boots are. And it would rock mine too because moms believe in sharing the good stuff. In honor of Mothers Day please put my mom into a pair of Full Tilt Soul Sisters so we can become a Full Tilt skiing family and take our free skiing to the next level together.
my names sam, and i have just completed a season in the 3valleys france. i spent the hole season saving my tips to buy the dropkicks 2013! this was because i was pushing myself both off piste and in the park and my old boots gave me major shinbang. now i have fulltilts i love skiing again! and im able to push myself more then i ever imagined! unfortunately this has left my commited girlfriend (who seasons with me) to do nothing else but hold the camera! as she has similar boots to my old ones.....although as you can see she is pritty handy with a lense i struggled to persaude her to commit to next season (for this reason) but i KNOW a pair of fulltilts will make her inching to go.
The boots I have are the first pair I've ever owned. Why don't they work? Simple. With these nasty boots I have parts jabbing at my feet, causing them to get beaten up every day on the mountain. Moreover, there is absolutely no correct form of my foot from this liner. It feels like I'm putting my foot into a hollow rectangle. With these freezing cold, foot stabbing painful, and heavy-ass boots, I'm convinced that Full Tilt will meet my basic necessities in a boot: warm, comfortable, and light weight. In this photo, you can see the mountain of boots, representing the struggle, but at the top Seth Morrison awaits me with peace and serenity. Please, Full Tilt, take me out of this struggle and send me to the top where the bliss of skiing anticipates my presence. Concurring with the words of Shane McConkey, "I'm doing what I love," I must say that skiing is life and Full Tilt can improve this life.
A wise man once said "Skiing is the only sport where you spend an arm and a leg to break an arm and a leg." In my case, and i would think in most cases, I cannot afford to spend an arm and a leg to break mine. Full Tilt, You gotta help me out. I had a sick season this year and beat the HECK out of my Dolomite FX boots, from 2005. But after one season out here in colorado falling on my rear end due to no traction on the concrete. I have had it, I look like a gaper, I NEED NEW BOOTS. Plus they are terrible on the snow. Id love to own a pair of your boots. I could die happy. (hopefully on the mountain)
I deeply regret the day i lost my old/original raichle boots! they were the OG black an yellow ones. I moved to Terrace,BC eleven years ago with everything i owned stuffed into my toyota pick-up, I rented sketchy rooms, I even lived in a furnace room, lol. After moving probably 6 times a year possesions seemed to be dissappearing, lost? stolen? claimed by dirty hippies? who knows. I am pumped that Seth Morrison has brought this legendary boot back, Adding to the list of what he has done for skiing!!
Ah, the classic Raichle flexon. The good ole ski boot. My dad got them when they came out back in the '80s, and used them until I begged him to let ME have them. Why?

I could never afford them, so I figured, hey these look like Full Tilts! They served me well until they randomly shattered. I can't complain though, they've lasted for 30 years. So now I ask of you, Full Tilt, choose me to win a new pair of Full Tilts so I can keep repping the ribs!!!!
I had to buy a friends old pair that are too big for only $50 and theres a piece of plastic on the top of the foot that digs and and cuts my foot every time ride and now i have scars from the old salomons. And id love to keep skiing because it quickly became my passion, but my feet cant handle it much longer and as much as id love to just cant afford new boots.
Hey Full Tilt! I just ended the season yesterday, and my feet are killing me. I was riding 1986 Lange race boots that are falling apart. It takes 15 minutes to put them on, if the liners aren't messed up. I am a size 9 and those boots are a size 7.5. I would not have any of these problems if I had your amazing boots. I want to have more fun next year so please help!
Whuddup playas! I'm Sally. I completely switched from snowboarding to skiing this season. I decided it was waaaay sicker, and I have so much more fun on skis! I wasn't tryna progress slow and easily this season, however. I was determined to skip doing "pizzas" and go right to straightlining. I went from tipping over in the lift line to hitting rails and throwing 360's in matter of a couple of months. I'm really in need of a new pair of boots because I'm currently borrowing my friends pair, which are too big. The boot size and clunkiness factor is definitely holding me back, and I would love to try out a first pair of sleek & steezy full tilts. I have no intention of getting my personal first ski boots from a different brand, dead set on you guys. Consider me in your choosing- I'll rep huuuuge in Vail and Beaver Creek, CO! I'm desperate to join the full tilt club and move forward in my skiing. Thank you shoooooo much! :)
Hey Full Tilt. I just wanted to say that you guys are the best. Right now I have a pretty old pair of salomon spks and ever since my brother showed me you're brand I have been upset. I have wanted a pair ever since. Anyway hopefully you read this and chose mine as winner. If I do win I would like a pair of next years Seth Morrisons pro model or this years or nexts years konflicts. I would really appreciate it if I won! THANKS! -Griffin Doherty
I first want to say that you guys rock! since i got my first boots two years ago i fell in love! they are 2011 drop kicks and have been super comfortable until this year! they recently have gotten too small and one of the buckles broke! Even if i don't win i love your product so much i would buy a pair anyway. thanks for reading this! -Justin
i where hankeys as boots really i need a pair of boots ps jkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjkjk
i have had amazing boots they are awesome i am 10 years old and my boots helped me 180, 360, 540 and do handrails they are just getting really beat up and i just need a new pair bad
Wearing rear entry boots is a hazard not only to me, but to everyone around me. If I had a pair of Full Tilts I could actually drive with my boots on. The three piece design of Full Tilts would allow me to drive safely AND throw down on the slopes! Luckily, the runner I hit was uninjured but I am being sued by the city for crushing the trees and bushes, so I'll need some help getting my new boots.
It was meeting Glen Plake a the Giants Stadium ski show in 93 that first got me first into that three piece design. It was the college years of living in Crested Butte, CO with Seth Morrison, Scott Schmidt and Joey Bagodonuts in the early nieneties that worked the boot. Moving out to the Tetons in my thirties that packed them in. What else would it be for comfort in my forties to ski with my eight year old except a Full Tilt Boots. Pray for Snow and Full Tilt Boots.
My 2011 Fischer vacuum boots fit when molded then flow and change shape. I have had them re-fitted 4 times. New footbeds, cuff alignment, 3mm gas pedal, on and on. Two years of skiing (120 days) and they are a reasonable performance boot but they are holding me back. They have never fit quite right. I teach alpine skiing 50 days per season and ski 60. I need boots that fit, connect me to my ski, put me in balance (or at least don;t put me out of balance), and ski at a high performance level in all conidtions and all terrain. Full Tilt looks like the answer to my prayers!
This is my wife Dawn, we've been skiing together for over 20 yers now. Alot of the gear we use we share. Here are my Raichle Flexon Equipe boots that she inherited. my OG boots from the nineties. Even though I work part time for a ski shop I choose to resurrect these shells with new Intuition liners for her. There on there Third life now. She loves them and that 3 buckle design works great for aggressive women skiers and big mountains like Jackson Hole. The Intuition moldable liners fit like a glove and I guess come with all new Full Tilt Boots. She just dosen't feel rite about the colors and the fact that those colors are coming back in style. I guess it shows age. The new Full Tilt boots have some great updated designs for women and I want my boots back. Thanxs Mark and Dawn Alpine, WY
Today is the day after closing in Colorado, while I wish it would be a never ending winter, the snow pack on Pikes Peak is not going to handle much back country. I have been skiing on these tele boots for 13 years after getting them third hand from a neighbor. The alpine boots are a hand me down from my friend who received them 30 years ago for his bday. Best fitting boots ever but cracking on the footplate. Need equipment but I am raising the next generation of snow kids so they are getting the equipment not Daddy. Thanks.
I have a pair of rossignol boots from 2003 and the foot board is cracked and my foot is exposed to the cold air...I wear 2 pairs of socks on that foot when skiing because its too cold...I want Full Tilts because they are rad looking and prevent shin bang! Want a pair, but don't have the money!
I don't have boots that fit. The only pair of boots I've ever owned are now way too small, leaving me to rent 6 year-old beater boots from my shop. However, my oldies do fit my Black Labrador Cassidy-- so at least they won't go to waste. She's pretty hyped to get some laps in next winter... or so I think. They say "once you go black, you never go back;" I know it's true for dogs, and I 've heard people say similar things about FT. I'd love to "go black" per-say and rock some Drop-Kicks next season. Or Classics. Or T-Walls. Booters. High Fives. Heck, I'd rock some Soul Sisters if they came in my size! Being a broke 16 year old whose measly funds will be spent on gas $$$ for day trips to the mountain, I'd be MORE than stoked if you could hook me up.
This is my buddy Omar. He is a third generation local of Gulmarg, Kashmir. He works as a mountain guide in winter and studies in summer. On his behalf I am entering this competition. Apart from being an all round nice guy, he is also a hard working guide who skies almost every day for two months of the year. It doesn't matter if it is bluebird or puking Omar is taking guests to his home up the Gondola to access the one of the highest resorts on the planet. He tours like a marathon runner and all the while making jokes and trying to teach westerners a little bit of Kashmiri Language. The reason I am submitting this entry is simple - Buying ski boots in Kashmir is next to impossible! Although visitors to the region frequently give or sell their equipment to locals when the leave, ski boots are like the elusive snow leopard. So come on Full Tilt help me help a brother out. Eliminate his foot pain, make him the envy of his friends and put a grin on his face that goes from ear to ear. The photo on the left is of Omar skiing in a "Pheran" which is the Kashmiri version of a hoodie that all the locals guys wear in winter. Note the crappy boots!
I've had these Solomon's for 3 years now, they are trashed and not fit for a park skier trying to progress. Every time I go into the park, I'm harassed because of my "astronaut boots". A new pair of full tilts is all I want, but I can't afford them. I've asked for them for Christmas now 2 years in a row. This is the only way I will ever be able to rock full tilts. A 14 year old boy should not have to wear Solomon boots from the 80's he got from his dad. Please help ??
Dear Full Tilt, It all started in 1972, my first year as a ski instructor. A new pair of Raichle boots, sixty dollars on pro deal, I never looked back. I have taught in Raichle's (or their newer clones from Kneissl) full time ever since. Current Certification- PSIA Level 3 Alpine. There is nothing on this earth that can compete with a pair of Flexon Comps. Thank You for keeping them alive and well, because my job is predicated on having happy feet. Regards, Nicholas
In need new boots to dream like a pro. (look at my picture I cannot dream like Tom Wallisch anymore because of my constant usage! No for real, Those boots will help to teach to a lot of kids in Quebec in Freestyle! In the Snowpark and the Moguls. I'm coaching a freestyle ski team in the Laurentides near Tremblant. Thank you & sorry for my french accent in my writting ;) Manuel Boyer!
full tilt you guys are awesome all my friends have your SICK boots. They do not ski with me because they are imbaraced that i don not have full tilts. i tried my buddy's full tilt drop kick boots. OMG I was in heavn. My boots are rossignol face boots that weigh 2.3 puonds each. PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thank you
I've got me some skis now and I'm on my way to buying some new bindings and boots. But the problem is i don't have much money. The boots I have, are not comfortable at all and are the some of the cheapest on the market
been reppin these for years. I been too small for a while now but i keep wearing them. I just think of it that any 3 piece design is better than any other boot no matter how old it is. I could really use another pair. These are ready to retire.
Im 13 and live in colorado. The boots i have are 3 years old and dont fit my feet properly because i have a wide foot. Besides the fact that they are very uncomfortable i have to deal with shin and toe bang and blisters on a daily basis. It allmost takes the fun out of skiing (my favorite sport). PLEASE HELP Thanks, Adam
In 1989 while living near Winter Park, CO we had a house fire. My wife, 2 sons and myself lost 99% of our possessions. While not nearly having enough insurance we were amply provided with all we needed. We all lost our ski boots. I had seen these Raichle ski boots earlier in the year. I thought they were the hottest boots i had ever seen. I also knew the fit would be awesome. I purchased these boots and have skied in them ever since. My sons have given me grief the last several years about retiring these boots. I have had questions regarding their viability by some techs. This year while waiting for the shuttle at Winter Parks a Full Tilt employee took a picture of them and told me submit them to be replaced. It would be great to retire these and replace them with what may be my last pair of boots.
I'm 15 years old and I live in Fairbanks Alaska. Six weeks ago I was skiing the side country with my friends. I did a 360 off a 15 ft cliff, not a particularly difficult trick for me. I landed back seat, smashing my arm into the ground to stay on my skis. I skied a few yards more and then threw my self on the ground. My friend asked me if I was alright and I growled, "my shins are broken!" Fifteen minutes later I took off my glove and noticed my hand was twice its normal size and bent the wrong way. I had broken 2 bones and partially torn a muscle but the pain in my shins was so bad that I hadn't noticed it until then. While I've finally recovered from my broken bones, my shin bang still breaks me every time i put on my boots. I bought my current boots used off of ebay, the previous owner had died of unnamed causes (no joke). I think he just had such bad shin bang that he killed himself. I might end up the same way without full tilts. SAVE ME!!!
These are my dads old raichle flexons that I have been rocken for two years now. I've been gettin a little uncomfortable with my feet growing and my friends tease me about my old rockers so help me out full tilt and hook me up with some classics, level 1s, or hot doggers
If I win I can choose any pair of Full Tilts, so I'm going to be cheeky and ask ask for a pair of next seasons Tom Wallisch boots (or a pair of Classic's).
Hey my name is Charlie DeLoye and i have been skiing ever since i was 3 years old. I live in Wausau WI. Home of Granite Peak ski area. I would love to be able to get a new pair of boots because mine are way too small and restricting. FT looks to be a pretty sick company and i want to try them out. I don't even know what kind of boots i have i just ride them and they give me terrible shin bang...
My boots have been amazing i love them so much they are comfy but they are all beat up and they are very small on me i learned how to 540, 360, and 180's they helped when i did my first handrail but i have been trying to convince my dad to get me either the drop kicks or the classics but he wont budge please help get him to let me buy your product
I am using these old boots because that's all I have. I love to ski (but my feet are not so happy) and would love new boots to make my feet (and shins) love skiing again. The boots are a bit broken, but they keep on going! A bit of duct tape this season to hold things in place, yet I really need new boots. Thanks for reading my story.
Dear full tilt i really need new boots!!! The power strap on one of my boots is held together by a string. i've tryed tapeing it but it doesn't make a difference. The very top buckel on my boots doesn't buckel ether so i ALWAYS get shinbang.All my friends have them and they are always braging how nice fitting and how they never get shinbang.My brother also stuck a piece of ham in them so now they reek.
In my small town in Michigan and born into a poor family skiing for me seemed like a dream. When my 10th birthday rolled around my present was one to remember, a brand new pair of boots and skis. Since then I have been skiing feverishly in both the parks and on the mountain, but ending up only going twice or three times a year. The park's owner let me stay extra late, because he was a friend of the family and knew of my predicament. Working all summer mowing lawns in my neighborhood I had earned enough money (at 5 dollars a lawn!) to be able to afford a season pass at my local park. Lately I have been learning all sorts of tricks I could do, and I have become one of the best in the park. With a junky old pair of boots, shin bang and toe jam really do get to me, as well as the extremely boring bland gray color these boots have. I have been praying for Full Tilts, but lately I have been to busy with school to be able to make money to buy them.
Full Tilt please help me, ive started skiing this season and its everything for me! i found this awesome hobby mostly because my parents just divorced under a year ago, i needed a place to run away from everything else, so i got to the local hill and absolutely fell in love with it at the first time. I had one very big problem, I live with my brother and dad, and we cant afford me any boots... I bought my first skis from my friend, but i have been skiing with some old worn out rental boots at my local hill. I have learned lots of tricks on skis, and im very proud of it, i can do 180s, 360, and some grabs and slides. Im getting tired of all that pain i get everyday. My shins are literally killed! I wish everyone good luck! To Full Tilt: dont EVER stop the good work!! From Finland with love, Eemil
I really don't remember where i got my boots, they kind of just showed up one day! haha. They are really old and beat up from good use. I think its time to give them a rest and just hope some full tilts will just show up :P Im 13 years old and last year, i gave up hockey to ski more. I've always loved Skiing and full tilt is just a dope-donkey brand! By far the best boots ever! If you look, my liners are just a piece of fabric over the plastic shell. They rub and rub my feet until they are bone! Hope to win and good luck to your company in the future! Thanks, Brody
For all you guys who are complaining about wearing your Dad's boots, consider your selves lucky because I have to wear my Mom's. Since My Dad Doesn't Ski. Every time I go to the park I get made fun of because my boots are female. I get scared to go to the parks after that . Every night I pray for a pair of Drop Kicks because bright blue Atomics are not for 13 year-old boys.
I am addicted to Full Tilt boots, they are the only boots that fit my feet properly due to my high in-step. I don't need a new pair, but I would really like a pair of classics which are impossible to find in my size in the UK!
I went skiing this year after a 20+ years because my 14 year old son said “dad skiing is like riding a bike you never forget” he was right I didn’t forget but my equipment sucked!!! I found my Salomon rear entries stored in my basement since the late 80’s. I loved those boots, they were easy on/off, comfortable and fully adjustable now the lining is hard, the outer fabric is delaminating from the foam, the front adjustments seized up and the rear cable turns but doesn’t engage. Needless to say I sucked!!! I went to a ski retailer, the boots are expensive so I walked out empty handed because I can’t afford a new paid on my retiree income, while there I noticed the catchy look of Full Tilts, then a closer look revealed the unique design. I like the way the front tongue tilts forward for easy entry and the liner is pretty unique, it hugs your ankle for support and extra padding. I would love to have Full Tilts boots so I can continue to ski for years.
I wuld like to win thes for my dad because he puts my skiing needs first. He never buys new skis or boots every year fo himself. He has had the same boots for 5 years, and we ski everyday. He always complains that they don't keep his feet warm, they are packed, and they are breaking. He buys me new stuff every year, and now I think it's is turn. Thank you for taking the time to read this :)
My adventure with skis I have started 10 years ago. My first skis I got from my best friend. It was old skis and Rossignol boots. My first serious purchase were Full Tilt boots. Since there I changed my entire inventory several times but I have never change my Full Tilts. 3-piece boots are like a brothers for me so I can not change them for any others. For that 10 years I have improve my skills and equipment but my boots still accompanied me. I tried hard to prepared my gear for high performance skis expeditions but now my old buddies are only the spirits of the past. I really want new pair of Full Tilt boots for my new challenges. Please Full Tilt good spirits, give me one.
I have fallen in love with my pair of full tilts, but after three years of shredding they are now falling apart on me. one boot has two straps missing and one buckle broken. the other boot has a broken buckle making them go from the most comfortable boot to not so much. I was going to wrap up my season with a trip to whistler but today the second strap broke making the boots unridable... I cant afford new boots and a trip to whistler... putting me in a dark situation. Skiing is my passion, http://vimeo.com/43431573 Please help me out!

I bought the booter this winter, and think it's awesome! First of all, I have a little too narrow feet for it, so they "wander" around down there. Second, the boots are size 28,5, but thats at least 0,5 too small. So my toes are broken after a day in the mountains. It would have been awesome to get a boot that fits my feet better! :)
Okay despite a minor SNAFU I actually have a picture this time. It tell the whole ugly painful story. I was charging hard at A-Basin, with cold toes, and as my feet warmed up I noticed the pain. Prying my foot from the torture devices I call boots the cause of the pain was evident. I still have a few days of skiing this season including a late season trip to Whistler and the thought of suffering through one more day in the boots i have now is unbearable.
I need your help Full Tilt to save my life and my marriage! It started when I decided to take a 5 year hiatus from skiing to play college football and the Ski Karma God’s made me pay for it. 2 foot surgeries later I was left with feet consisting of 3 plates and over 20 screws. I am a ski boot fitter’s nightmare! 1 year on crutches and after “full” recovery, started looking for a pair of boots. Skied my old Rossignal Soft’s, felt like sandpaper on a nerve ending. Tried every demo/rental pair I could get my hands on. Told my wife I might have to resort to snowboarding with their Ugg like boots. You would have thought I insulted her Grandma’s 1960 Bogner suit! She gave me the death stare, said if I even mentioned snowboarding again she was going to leave me! My Dad rides Full Tilts, so I tried on his pair hoping they would work with my hardware store of a foot. MONEY!!! The 3-piece technology felt like Cinderella’s slipper! I really need your help Full Tilt to not only save my skiing (which is my life) but to also save my marriage!
HI, my name is lucas pelletier, i have been skiing on full tilt drop kicks for 2 years, the first year i had these boots was amazing, and then the second year i got them the boot just fell apart and i did not enjoy it, i had to buy new liners and tongs for my boots and have sent a lot of money on them, i think i need new boots because at 12 years old, my "pro quality boots" should not fall apart like that. thankyou: full tilt
I saw where the "photo" part is optional, but in my case it is required in order to fully convey my urgent need for some better boots. As you can tell my toes have not been getting along with my boots very well. This is a result of aggressive skiing and horrible, poorly fit, 3 year old, red pieces of crap boots. Please help me out and give me something to look forward to next season with a new pair of shiny full tilt boots.
Dear Full Tilt, Our mommy can’t stop telling us about this awesome contest where you hook somebody up with a new pair of Full Tilt Ski Boots every month. We thought we could cheer her up by entering her in your sweet contest. We didn’t mean to ruin her old ski boots. They just smelled so yummy that we couldn’t resist. We thought we were doing her a favor. She complained about them all the time. She would always whine about how much shin pain she had and how they never fit right no matter how tight she had them buckled down. You can imagine our frustration with all this complaining going on. And oh that delicious smell, did we mention the smell? Anyways, our mommy is the best mommy in the whole world. She is a full time college student and a broke part-time ski instructor. We are the only thing she loves more than skiing. With your help we can return the love. Will you please help us Full Tilt? By the way, we promise not eat any more ski boots. They make us too gassy! Sincerely, Rossi & Mary Jane
I begged and I pleaded, I shoved and I squeezed but cannot make these damn boots fit. WAIT! These are snowboard boots. It's hard to ski when you have the wrong gear. I recently switched to the far superior art of skiing. Now I am in desperate need of some FAR superior boots (Full cough Tilt cough). One can only ski on borrowed boots and rentals for so long. Please help me out guys!
Sorry for the repost but the picture did not upload and I wanted it to be seen. Hello Full Tilt I have skied on these Nordica ns 725's for 2 years that is also how long I've bean freestyle ski and one year before that I got my first pair of shaped ski's and had salomen boots from the 80's, Well these boots are getting small like toe's curled small and they are very uncomfortable but I love skiing to much to stop because of my boots but it would be real nice to get some full tilts, I have done my research and the salomen spk's are nice I guess but they are NOTHING like full tilt boots, Thank you for reading this, Oh and I ski Mount Snow in Vermont great place.
Hey Full Tilt. I have skied on lange boots for years and they just keep getting worse and worse. I have continuously tried my friend's Drop Kicks and I love them like no other. My boots are just to stiff and not able to fit my feet in a comfortable way even though they are the right size. Whenever I land a jump even if I don't knuckle it my shins feel the worst shin bang there is. I wish that this wouldn't happen because every day after skiing I have to ice my shins so that they don't hurt so badly. Full Tilt boots are literally the best boot out there and they work perfectly for me. I have wanted a pair for years now. Thank you for taking the time to look at this. Keep making great boots guys!
(I apologize for my english, grammar spelling... Actually I am french) In one month I am going skiing in ValThorens, and I want to manage 540 and 720 and maybe more if I can. I would also like to manage even more rails! I have never had my ski boot and was planning to ask one for my 18th birthday on the 12th of may. I would like a comfortable boot, warm and beautiful. The aspect of the fulltilt boots if very good and I like them very much. I would like to become a pro rider, but I think it is going to be very difficult because I don't live in the moutains or in a snowy region and my parents don't support me in this path. In fact they are both ingeneers... So if I could have a pair of full tilt booter I would be forced to manage all spins and a big jump that I made in ValThorens last year (you can see the video at :http://www.zapiks.fr/petite-barre-rocheuse-a-val-.html) and I would also be the most happy person in the world. I am sure I will love this boot and recommend it to every body. I will really be extremely happy if I could have this boot!! Even if I never bought a fulltilt boot I extremely hope I will win this contest. Thank you for giving a chance to have a free boots.
Hey Full Tilt! I think you can see by the picture that I need new boots (those are my toes sticking out the liners). Everyday I shove off to work in the Terrain Park at Liberty Mountain Resort in Carroll Valley, Pennsylvania carrying these bad boys. The boots are so uncomfortable and worn out that they are definitely becoming a hinderance to me. I have to be very careful to make sure they aren't left anywhere cold otherwise I have to break my ankles trying to force the boots on in the morning. When it comes to riding they weigh so much that it makes doing anything like swaps and spins on that require a pop a pain in the a$$. Because of the four buckle style I think they might even have negative flex in them so shinbang is inevitable and the ripped liners also cause some crazy bad toebang. Working in the park is a terrible adventure also because the boots are not made for riding let alone walking the mountain. The season here is almost over, but a new pair of Full Tilts would be a blessing for next year and I would probably be speechless if I received a winning email. Thanks for reading my submission Full Tilt!
Well as you can see my current boots aren't in the best shape. They are dolomite ski boots and they are trash. I've had them for two seasons, and they don't have any flex. I mainly park ski and these boots are not meant for that. I had to buy new skis but I really wanted to get a pair of Full Tilts. I used my friend's pair and fell in love. They are the pefect boot. I have two Full Tilt tall tee's, the pullover hoodie and te zip hoodie. All I need is a pair of Full Tilt boots and I'm set.
I have a 4-piece boot, bought it for touring but it's not stiff enough for downhill. Also, it's very uncomfortable. Maybe 10 minutes are ok for me, but that's a maximum and I have to open the boot. Otherwise my legs are dying, it just hurts everywhere. The fit is also not the best, a few crashes have almost broke my bones. Looking for a new pair of ski boots that are comfortable and firm for descents. Currently I don't have the needed cash for a new pair, just bought a pair o ski's and will have to wait until next season for the boots. Just got recently into freeriding and can not enjoy it as I wish because I have to buy so much stuff. Thank you!
Full Tilt, hear my plea!!! After a 37 yr layofff skiing, I have fallen in LOVE again.Skiing is my Mistress!!!Unforetunately, my current boots are Craigslist specials that are 1.5 sizes to big to accomoate my very high instep and wide forefoot flat arches, and "Popeyesqe" calves. I did not know there was a problem except I,literally, have to fight to keep em carving and under control on steep pitches. They move my skis about like wet noodles. Its not my skis, my form or my lack strength. Its the Boots leading to my lack of control! I can move my foot for and aft easily and my toes have way too much wiggle room. Its like bad fitting dentures , underwear that are too big , and a bad fitting toupe all rolled into one. I KNOW the High Fives, based on my research, would address my needs and desires. A boot made for WIERDOS like me with wide, flat, high instep feet. After a fitting session at a local FT dealer I found the TRUTH! FT gave me the best fit by far right out of the box. My skiing buget, retired on fixed income, is gone for the year! Have pitty on an old,gassy, fat/flat/high insteped Grandpa who wants to rock it like SETH or at least try! I, by the way, ski K2 ObSETHed's. Thanks K2 and Seth, shameles plug, for the best ski ever!!! Go rockered or go home! Bob
I'm 62 and have skiied on Raichle Flexon Classic 301mm boots I bought new over 20 yrs ago. My first new pair and without doubt the best boot on the market. Unfortunatly I've outgrown them and the're just too small. A year ago I found a pair of used Raichle 318mm on kijiji . I bought them and another pair of Raichle TF3 for my wife Susan. She loves hers. My 318mm were packed out and a bit too big so I swapped liners to the 301mm. Too tight. Back to the 318mm and away I go. Anyway a young gun tells me about Full Tilt boots he's thinking of buying and shows me a pic. I can't believe what I see. A ressurected Raichle classic, I said "buy those boots you'll never regret it". I've done thousands of runs on mine with my wife and 3 kids now31....33...35 and now two granddaughters ,from Bridgier Bowl Montana to Sun Peaks B.C to Norquay B.C I need a proper fitting new pair, or at very least a new improved set of liners. Thanks so much from a farmer in Deloraine Manitoba
Ok so we all know i don’t ski on these old planks or in these old boots! It’s just a bit of old paraphernalia in my house to catch your attention...... My real story starts like this. I grew up in a small Victorian ski village! I’ve been skiing since i was a kid. I even skipped school to ski. I worked for 15 years in the snow. Instructing, making snow you name i worked it. Then one day after a bad time in my life the female variety of bad..... I threw the skis down and walked away from the mountain. It was bad. I gave all my new gear ski gear to my best mate and walked away from my passion. 6 years later i re connect with a girl i knew from the mountain since i was a kid. She gets me back on the skis (in rentals) i get a perma scar on my shin from the rental boots! See picture attached. So here i am hooked again! Found my groove with no gear! I’ve heard all the great comments on your Full Tilt boots and boy would i love some. I can’t wait to get back up there and network some Full tilts, stop my shin bang and scarring and be forever grateful to you guys. TRY AGAIN Pic didn't upload.
Maybe other people epicly need new boots quicker than me, but my story makes me chuckle. I've been fighting my bruised and swollen ankle bones all season from my boots rubbing them the wrong way (not to mention a bunion that makes my big toe numb the whole time I'm skiing, but that's way too embarassing to discuss haha). I have tried the new inserts approach, a few blow outs, loosening buckles, then crazy tightening. It's like a bi-polar relationship with my boots, but I feel like we'll have to break-up soon. However, the other day I went to the mountain to ski and forgot long ski socks and only had on ankle socks...and the outcome was life changing! No sore ankle bone afterward; apparently I just needed a bit more room? The setback, of course, is sweaty calves. Solution? Cut off pantyhose at the knee and wear them as socks. Golden. I knew I went to 5 years of fashion school for something. Speaking of fashion, I'm kind of attached to the design and colors of my boots now, which is a reason I haven't totally moved on. But i fear the longevity of my sock "solution." Show me how good boots should feel?
I need a new pair of FTs because my old hand me down boots are braking and are too small for me. Due to broken buckles "and a bad landing" I broke my leg but I drew a full tilt boot on my cast to show how much I want them. I get lots of compliments on my drawing but everyday all I can think about is getting back on the park. I ski every weekend up a my cottage and live for the weekend to ski from 9 in the morning to 9 at night. Now that Im almost back on the slopes I need a new pair of boots, and I can't afford a pair of FTs which is obviously the best boots in the world and I don't want anything to do with any other kinds of boots due to my shin bang and bruises from my last pair of boots. I would say I'm pretty good at freestyle skiing and I love Full Tilts!
Dear Full Tilt, HELP!!!! Help me, please! I’m sick of doing all these stupid pet tricks to help my mom win a pair of your amazing ski boots! My dad owns a pair of Full Tilts and loves them…he tells EVERYONE about them on the mountain. People just ask - hey, what kind of ski boots are those? So he goes into this amazing story about how great Full Tilt boots are, how great they fit, how easy they are to put on and how warm & dry his feet stay…blah blah blah! Well my mom is trying to win a pair of Full Tilt boots because it’s so hard for her to find boots that fit. Let alone girl’s ski boots because she has HUGE …and I mean HUGE FEET! My mom’s feet are bigger then my dad’s feet! Ok…she wears a 27.5 men’s ski boot that they bought at a ski swap, and they don’t fit her very well. She constantly complains that her feet are cold, her shins hurt, and her calves are being pinched! My mom tries to ski every week. She even skis ice if she has to but she loves the POW. As long as she is skiing she fights through the pain of her old worn out ski boots that don’t fit very well. I know she would love to have a pair of Full Tilt girl boots. She would be so grateful and then she wouldn’t steal my dad’s boots…even though they are a little short for her! My mom is a flight attendant for a major airline and if I know her, she would tell everyone she talks to about Full Tilt….because she loves skiing! Please, Please Help! Thank You, Stupid Pet Trick Dog…Camo.
My boots are old SPKs. Put simply, they are destroyed! From five years of hitting the terrain park hard. In addition, the hurt my feet in more ways than one. This happens because I have a condition called cavous foot. Cavous foot is when the tendons on one side of your foot are tighter than the other, another part of this disability is staggeringly high arches. That's why I'm looking at full tilts because they have more room. Thank you, for considering me for your amazing sweepstakes.
I have had my Raichles for over 10 years pushing 15. They were purchased already as old stock but watching plake movies all i wanted was Raichles. I havent been able to part with them as i love the fit, flex and perfomance. I have tried on salomons in the past nice but not the same as my old Raichles. So.... i am stoked you revived and bettered the old brand by revolutionising an old design into FILL TILT!!!! They are the only boots i want and would wear and i would be forever greatful and bragg how great they are to all my ski buddies. I have attached a montage!!
Rather than complain about why my current boots are rubbish, I'm going to tell you what a new pair will do for me. I've been skiing my whole life and have never owned any new equipment; instead I received hand-me-downs from my older brother. My passion for skiing has grown larger than I had ever expected over the years and the heavily used equipment just hasn't been satisfying to use. I recently started saving up money to buy myself a nice pair of twin tips and I am now in need of boots. I have the desire to learn and further my skills whether it be in my backyard or on the mountain. I promise that if somehow I am chosen out of everyone entering, I will continue to progress and your boots will not be wasted. I appreciate what your company does for the community and I wish you the best of luck in the future. ~Tyler Cheeseman Thank you for the opportunity!
We were living in Boston then, and going to Snowbird yearly for a week of the “greatest snow on earth”. And every year, I made a pilgrimage to the bootfitter to try and make my misfit boots work. He finally said to me “look, what you need is a pair of Flexons”. And he didn’t even sell Flexons- he sent me to his competitor to get them! From that day 13 years ago, I’ve been skiing the same pair of 20th Anniversary Flexon Comps. I’ve replaced numerous parts (often obtained from Full Tilt, of course), and have about 500 days on them. I even tried another pair of boots once, but always come back to these. The precision fit and performance that was so startlingly and almost magically apparent from the start is still there – even using the original pair of Thermofit liners. They’re lighter, yet warmer and more comfortable than anything else. Of course, after 500 days of use, I lived in terror that they might someday crack from age and use ,and that I would be relegated to searching Ebay and garage sales for a replacement pair, until I heard about Full Tilt. For now, my bumblebee 20th Anniversary Flexons are still holding on, but I know where I’ll go to replace them when the time comes!
