Full Tilt Show Us Your Boots Contest

First off, I like to ski more than anything, and my new full tilts seemed like a godsend. I have worked and gone to college full time for the past two years and saving money is really tough. When i finally got my first pair of full tilts i was more excited than a sloth on a jetski. Little did i know my feet were going to grow exponentially and now my boots don't fit and I have to save all my money to move out west after this summer.I want to have the most radical and tubular time out west but the options are sparse. Help me fulltilt, you are my ONLY HOPE.

I don't need new boots. I got plenty

After been a snowboarder for several years i saw the light and switched to skis. Trouble is I can't lock down the heels on my current boots and it makes steezy skiing kinda hard. Everyone has told me "fix the heel fix the problem". So even though my soul is freed similar to my heel on tele's, I dream of the day I can land front seat and ride out or even nose butter like all the cool kids in the park! If i win these boots the money I save will be spent on some longer shorts that go past the knee and a bigger pile rug so i can continue to pursue skiing within the comfort of my home. One Love!

I skied on my Full Tilt Originals for more than 10 weeks during a full season out at Thredbo, Australia. I also used them for two weeks in Austria, where one of the buckles fell off. I now have no chance of fitting them for the next season. Full Tilts here in Australia are ridiculously expensive, and I'm not going abroad before the upcoming season. Full Tilts are simply the best boots I've ever tried and I would keep using my boots if I still fit them.

Dear Full Tilt, my current boots are very uncomfortable and they are also my dads so we can never go skiing together, and my parents make me pay for all my skiing equipment and I can't afford nice boots like full tilts. Pretty much the only terrain i ski is park and i always come home with terrible shin bang and usually have to wait a couple days for it to heal before I can go skiing with my friends again. I would really like to progress in the park and it is very difficult when you don't have nice boots that prevent shin bang. skiing is my passion and its all I look forward to the whole year. I would be very grateful if i got a brand new pair of full tilts. Thanks

My two passions have always been art and skiing. All year round I do art, but living in the Midwest I can't ski all year round. So to compensate I do more art, but there's always that emptiness that lingers... But fear not! I have found the antidote. Combine skiing with art and add some Mac n' Cheese, and WHA LA!!! A satisfying delicious constructive way to kill time until Winter! The only problem is I'm running out of ski gear to paint... If only there were a omniscient power that I could try to persuade to bestow a new pair of boots upon me to help solve Summer boredom (and to provide a comfortable dependable boot for the upcoming season)!

Dear Full Tilt, I want Full Tilts because I am almost growing out of my dads old Tecnica's (which btw are now 15 years old) and I don't have enough money to buy Full Tilt's. The reason why i want Full Tilt's is because of everyday of skiing i come home with Shin and Heel Bang also the Tecnicas are way too stiff and because of this i was very close to breaking my leg. And are also much heavier, i've wanted Full Tilts since i was a kid and im even fitted for them. Without Full Tilts i feel that i wont be able to progress in Park but with Full Tilts i will be inspired to progress and will remember this forever. Please help me progress and change my skiing life. Please help me Full Tilt as Obi Wan-Kanobi said "Your my Only Hope" at least that's what i think he said? Thank you Full Tilts, Jack Donovan

My feet got bigger :)

Have mercy on my old boots and me, We've skied together since 1983. New liners and heels Flex adorns, But oh, how the toes are so worn. From Crested Butte to Vail we have played, Aspen, Steamboat, Breck all those days. I was young, now I'm old, I refuse to be told, No more Raichle Flexons for me. Signed, The Skier (Waiting for her next pair or will never give up the old boots.) and her Boots (Best boots ever but please let me retire.)

So my old boots (I asume based on the smell, bought them from a ski swap) were used in a pond skim... my mom is sick and tired of the moldy smell, and makes me crawl up the stairs after skiing so my feet wont touch the carpet and get it stinky. Anywho, my mom would really like to get rid of those things and I would too, not just because of the smell but because they're heavier than my friends race boots (7.5 lbs each). Thanks guys

I live 2 hours away from any local ski resorts and I have these sexy ass 27.0 boots, even though I have a 28.0 foot, but I don't really complain cause I only go up to ski once per week during ski season, so it doesn't really bother my feet too much. But this season, I will be going to school at Colorado Mountain College in Steamboat, and I am planning on skiing almost every day, and I really don't want to kill my feet, cause i need to keep my feet in optimal condition to get the ladies. ;) But I won't be able to buy a new pair cause I got to pay for college, so it would be sick if I could get a new pair of boots, so I can ski comfortably and keep my feet lookin sexy AF.

Welp, I used to be a porker and I troll feet that were as wide as the grand canyon and as deep as Kim Kardashian's twat. My heavy, old, beater boots fit great-- until I lost 60 pounds and realized I didn't have to get heel bruises from walking off of curbs. The next season came, and although my knees felt great, I noticed my feet didn't. My boots were so packed out from my Michelin Man days that my feet would slide all around my boots and my toes would crush against the front no matter how tight I had them. I've had my boots for 4 seasons now, and I can finally say I'm ready for a new pair. I would love the opportunity to look super rad and get chickz due to rocking a pair of Full Tilts! Gracias amigos!

I have had these for a while now, and i love them so much. Obviously like everyone else I know that FT is the best boot company and I really need new boots. I have just grown out of these ones, and my birthday is coming up in July and it would make my year. Thanks for reading this and thanks for commenting on my ns thread to let me know. Best wishes, Declan

Hi, I’m Josh... I blade at Jackson Hole, no big deal. Couldn’t ask for a better boot to blade on than my good old Frankenboot. The Frankenboot came to being when I blew up my first generation FullTilt BumbleBee Pros one day, took some shots of Jack to morn my beloved boots passing, unearthed some old Raichles overnight and brought them back to life to ride again the next day. The Frankenboot is so perfect for blading I guess I don’t reaaalllllly need new FullTilts, but some days if conditions aren’t ideal and I’m not charging too hard I use normal skis (so lame, I know). On those days the glorious Frankenboots just aren’t quite cutting it. But, a new pair of FullTilts with full rubber soles, the FTS Soul design, and metal buckles could actually make real skiing kinda cool. Also, the ski shops here sure would appreciate the fresh Pro Boot liner, last time I dropped off my boots they were returned sealed airtight with a plastic bag and duct tape (sorry JH Sports). So, even though they would just be used for normal skiing and not blading, I sure would appreciate a new pair of FullTilts!!

Since I started skiing 5 years ago, I had always enjoyed park skiing. Up until now, I haven't boughten any ski boots since my foot keeps growing and I don't want to waste money on ski boots, but this season I will finally get a pair. Now, the only boots that are available for me to rent suck, and i have been putting up with them for long enough now. They are gray ugly backloaders that just take out my impression in the park and make me look like a fool. Worse than that, I have gotten two injuries and horrible shin bang from them. In my second season, my heels got shattered because of too much impact without cushioning, and also this season I got tendonitis from them. Both injuries caused my seasons to end early, which is not good. I want a nice pair of full tilt boots, as i've been a fan, and am intrigued by the 3 piece design, but cannot really scoop up the money to afford them. I will be overjoyed with a new pair of full tilts this season to match my new skis.

feet grew this season

When I was in fourth grade I was running to out to recess after lunch, and my left foot arch collapsed. Even after two surgeries My doctors told me I shouldn't ski anymore. For a few years, I stopped skiing but not because of what these doctors said, but because I could not find a boot that was comfortable enough for me to wear. I tried many different kinds of boots, but all of them just ended up hurting and money was becoming an issue. Then just this last season one of my friends got a pair of Level 1 boots and when I tried them on, I new I had found the perfect boot for my bad foot. So please help me out so I can peruse my passion without injuring my foot further.

I have been skiing for 20 years, and only this season had my first serious knee injury, I was back up 5 weeks later pushing and pushing, only to destroy myself again at the end of the year. I've skied in 8 countries, Been a ski instructor for 8 years now and affording equipment is tough. My current boots suck after 2 seasons of use. The liners are covered in duct tape and the shells somehow have different flex to them. My skis - 2 seasons and they are destroyed. My bindings, 1 year and destroyed. Every summer I sacrifice something else, just to be able to afford ski gear and keep my career going. Moving on from Instructor to Patroller, I need a boot that performs, that pushes and pushes and won't give up. I NEED Full Tilt Boots!

Dear Teton Gravity Research and Full Tilt, I NEED a new pair of Full Tilts because they are the perfect park ski boot and I had just outgrown my booters. I am currently 16 years old, but I have been skiing since i was six. I have been skiing in the park for 5 years. I started with a pair of Dalbellos and I liked them; but I decided to switch to Full Tilt because I had heard great things about them. So, two years ago, my father bought me a pair of Full Tilt Booters for Christmas and I fell in love. However, I have now outgrown them and really need a new pair. Please help a brotha out. Mahalo

In November 2010 i got my first pair of boots ever - The Tom Wallisch pro model 10/11. And at that moment i started believing in love at first sight. They fitted me like socks, and I never felt uncomfortable riding them! They worked everywhere from park to backcountry. Right until this season I never thought about replacing them for anything. But then it happened.... At the place me and my family were staying someone must have mistakenly thought that one of the boots were theirs. Because both weren't taken... only one of them. So now i have only one boot, and i'm getting real tired of skiing on only one ski!

I dont even own boots, my last ones where "miss placed" by my mom. So I really need a new pair of boots. Can you guys please hook me up with a fresh pair.

Been wearing the Drop Kicks for about an hour and a half now. I can safely say that they are the lightest and most flexible boots I have ever tried... I don't really have full tilts, they are just painted on :( It would be superawesome to win new boots because I have looking for new ones for awhile now.

Because of my dedication! (and awesome Photoshop skills!) and my Tom Wallisch 2010:s has started to smell really bad :/

I broke my ankle skiing this passed season and my current boots are getting to small and uncomfortable. I really need some new ones with great comfort... my friend told me how comfortable full tilts are and i have been convinced ever sense!! Please pick me i need something comfortable to continue shredding!!

I need a pair of Full Tilt Boots because i cant take the shinbang anymore. I have to ice my legs every time i get home from skiing and the next i have a trouble time walking. I am currently using a pair of 2006 Tecnica racing boots that are 2 sizes too small. These boots are just too tight to ride park. Please help me out Full Tilt its my dream to have your boots.

Hey guys, i've been skiing for a good 4 years now and just started getting flips down after a ski camp i was lucky enough to do in france. I still hire all my gear as i can't quite afford to buy skis yet which is starting to affect my riding because im using something different every time. im inlove with you boots after i tried a pair of my mates and would be the happiest kid alive to win a pair!!

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

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? 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!!!!

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
