Zac Vallos Full Tilt Show Us Your Boots Contest Entry

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.
