        Comments about Full Tilt Boots Hot Dogger:

        Nice boots great for anything really especially park. The one bad thing is the shoelace it just kinda gets in the way and is not necessary. Other than that it kills it everywhere and is super comfy.

              Comments about Full Tilt Boots Hot Dogger:

              just rode these boots in Colorado. -20 degrees centigrade yet feet were warm and snug. Took a few days to really feel comfortable all day in them but due to the adjustability managed to find the right tightness so feet felt fresh all day. These boots flex so nice, especially after big jumps. Lightweight,responsive and great looks too. Can't wait to get them back on the snow again.

                  When you put them on the are tight at first and then the liner forms around your foot as it breaks in for a truly custom fit!

                  I manage a ski shop and spend my time buying different products to review them as to better sell them to the customer.

                  Great boots, after i spent an hour taping up the interior rivets as to not cut the soft liner. I own both a salomon and atomic pro level freestyle boots(Ghost 130 flex and Volt 110 flex), and they both feel like they have much better, more fluid flex than the FT, the 110 flex of the Atomic Volt feels softer than the #6 tongue of the FT.

                  With that being said, this is a very powerful boot. The skier really has the leverage to dig an edge in if just free riding around.

                  I am also only 140. I feel like there are better options for the lighter weight crowd...or switch the tongues, i do plan on getting the #4 tongue.

                    Tom Wallisch spends more time in his ski boots than we spend in our shoes, except he’s stomping 100’+ park jumps all day and running up stairs to slide rails all night (or playing basketball). From X-Games podiums to award winning video segments, the Full Tilt Hot Dogger by Tom Wallisch is the ski boot Tom credits for giving him the precision, comfort & light weight, anti-shin bang superpowers that have made him the freestyle skier all others are now measured by. Add in the NEW! ultra responsive Pro Quick-Fit™ liner with Intuition® foam that molds 100% to your feet & he’s now got even more power to him.

                    MOLDS 100% TO FEET!
                    Full Tilt Quick-Fit™ liners use authentic Intuition® foam that is body heat activated to mold 100% to your feet during use, or can be instantly heat molded by a shop in minutes.

                    J-BAR
                    An additional J-shaped piece of foam is added to the ankle area to provide internal ankle hold down to dramatically reduce heel lift.

                    WIDE TOE
                    A thinner foam is used around the front of the liner to give extra space to the widest point of the foot & toes without sacrificing control in the rest of the liner. Great for people with wider feet or prefer more toe room.
