Virtually New! The boots have only 3 days on them and the liners have ZERO days because I substituted custom liners that were already molded to my feet.
I bought these boots because I have a tender shin on my left leg - the result of a broken tibia and a titanium plate screwed into the bone. My ankle is still stiff, so it is difficult to get my foot into my Atomic Redster overlap boots. However, I have a narrow foot and a high instep, so no amount of tweaking my custom liners could make these boots work for me.
I wore YakTraks with these boots anytime I wasn't on snow, so the soles are like new. I installed a bracket for Hottronics boot heaters in the rear cuff, but the heaters are not included.
A perennial favorite in the park and pipe, the Full Tilt Dropkick Ski Boots are light, nimble, and feature the original 99 mm lasted shell that Full Tilt (and Raichle before them) made their name with. Where else are you going to find a boot this smooth, this light, and at this price point?
Fit
FTO (Full Tilt Original) Shell – The FTO, aka the original 3-piece shell that continues to inspire creativity, fuel precision, and provide comfort and performance for all-day, everyday skiing. Don't be fooled -- new is not everything.
Last: 99 mm – The original width shell that your feet love. Ideal for average to narrow width feet.
Flex
Flex Rating: 6 (1 soft - 10 stiff) – Maximum versatility & reliability in all conditions with a smooth, natural ankle motion to eliminate shinbang! You can quickly change your flex by swapping out different # flex tongues. (Also available - Optional 10-Flex tongue if. you need a stiffer flex! Send me a message about them.)
Ribbed Tongue – 100% ribbed tongue enables smoother, more natural linear flex from your shin to your toe. The tongue bends like a flexible straw, never bottoming out while providing smooth rebound. No more shin bang! Optimized for FT's new 45 degree cable positioning for the smoothest flex possible.
