About the Full Tilt (now K2) Classic
Full Tilt's Classic boot keeps things super simple, providing amazing performance at great value. It uses their original shell shape, with a medium to narrow 99mm last that's now heat mouldable for skiers who need to push out a little more space, so it can work for a wide range of skiers.
3 Piece Construction uses a separate flexing tongue and a pivoting rear cuff to allow a more natural, smooth and progressive flex into the boot, allowing skiers to transmit power to the ski comfortable without distorting the shell, and it provides great shock absorption on landings, too. While this boot comes with a medium/soft 6 flex tongue, these tongues are interchangeable, allowing for stiffer tongues on firm freeride days or a softer ones for pressing your way down some slushy park laps.
There has been some updates to the classic boot- the buckle system now uses metal clasps rather than plastic which boosts durability, and still offers the same pressure-point-free feel that's always been associated with Full Tilt and their cable buckle system. The construction of the shell also allows these boots to feel fairly lightweight compared to traditional all mountain alpine ski boots, which is great for comfort as well as freestyle performance, as you've got less weight to lift when bringing in your grabs and spins.
One of the best features of Full Tilt boots is the Intuition liners. Most people say that these are the best on the market because of the proprietary structure of foam that moulds naturally to the wearers feet. This creates a precise and comfortable fit that gives amazing performance and insulation as well as feeling lightweight. In the 2018 Full Tilt Classic you'll find the classic liner which has a pull out tongue similar to traditional alpine boots that makes getting the boot off and on extra easy.
