About the Full Tilt (now K2) Drop Kick Pro
Always one of the most popular models in the Full Tilt lineup, this is the Pro version of the Drop Kick which has been a benchmark in freestyle boots for years.
Using the Original shell, this boot keeps things clean but packs in a ton of performance. With a 99mm last, this boot sits on the narrow end of medium width which allows it to be a versatile fit. Narrow enough for those with low volume feet, but capable of fitting plenty of mid-volume riders too thanks to a custom mouldable shell that can press out to improve the fit in a matter of minutes.
As with all of Full Tilt's boots, the heart of the Drop Kick's construction is the 3 Piece Shell. This is fundamentally different to traditional 2 piece alpine boot construction because of the addition of a separate boot tongue as well as the cuff and clog. This separate tongue has a ribbed shape which works with the pivot point in the boot's cuff to allow a smooth forward flex which doesn't distort the shell.
This transmits power more effectively to the ski, helps absorb the impacts of landings, increases comfort and helps riders flex into butters and presses, for excellent freestyle performance. 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.
The Drop Kick is noticeably lightweight compared to traditional alpine ski boots, which is always helpful when your pulling your feet up for grabs or trying to dial in new spins. The Wide Track buckle system uses aluminum levers rather than plastic which boosts durability, and still offers the same pressure-point-free feel that's always been associated with Full Tilt. Underfoot, a shock absorbing layer of rubber in the boot board helps further towards absorbing impacts and vibrations, whether that's from charging through re-frozen choppy snow or jumping on to a rail.
Intuition liners are popularly regarded as the best on the market, and for good reason. The Pro Wrap liners use a proprietary structure of foam that moulds naturally to the wearers feet, creating a precise and comfortable fit that gives amazing performance and insulation as well as feeling lightweight.
The Dropkick Pro upper uses an additional liner of ergonomically shaped EVA wrapped around the outside of the liner to increase energy transfer and power to the shell and J bars foam internal inserts on both sides of the ankle area to increase ankle hold keeping your feet perfectly in place for precise control.
