Full Tilt Seth Morrison Pro Model Ski Boot - Men's
Full Tilt’s cult following grows year after year, but superskier Seth Morrison has been with them all along. The Full Tilt Men’s Seth Morrison Pro Model Ski Boot is the product of Morrison’s specific design demands—it’s stiff, stands up to hundred-foot airs, and lets you feel your toes. Morrison’s friend Josh Malay (RIP) designed the boot’s unique wrap-around graphic, and Full Tilt’s touches of fabric, zippers, and buttons punctuate the boot’s message: Let ‘er rip, and take no prisoners.
Active Bootboard rubber absorbs the impact of big landings
Aluminum levers are strong and lightweight
Full Tilt’s highest-performing Pro Liner is heat-moldable, seamless, lightweight, and includes an extra layer of ergonomic Powerwrap around the outside for power transfer and ankle hold-down
J-Bar liner design holds the ankle in place
Cable buckle system distributes pressure evenly to eliminate dead spots
Mult-lateral and forward cant angle adjustments let you adjust the boot precisely
Free hinging cuff flexes freely to let you lean forward without distorting the boot’s shape
Bottom Line: A boot that takes you closer to your personal best.
I have giant ankles and calfs, Seth or someone, would these boots fit comfortablly. If not could you recomend a good pair of boots that would fit comfortablly.
rfl, I read the description of the SPK, seems like a park boot im more of an all mountain rider. Any all mountain boots that are good but would still fit a giant calf and ankle.
How would these boots do for skinning and bootpacking in the backcountry? Is there any particular approach to take when using them in the backcountry for hikes?
I use them for what your looking to do. I just unbuckle them if I want movement like forward flex. Mostly short skins and boot hikes 1hr to 2hr, have skinned 5 hrs plus with no problems.
hiking is one thing, skinning is another one. If they are fine for hiking thanks to their lightweight, for skinning you need to have a boot with freedom of movement (flex forward).
For me these boots are it. Proud to have been able to work with Full Tilt and come up with this boot. The art is done by Josh Malay, he did the first 3 K2 Seth Pistol's art work. He passed away in Andorra 5 years ago in a snowboarding accident. So we have been keeping his dream alive by having his art on this boot in a Punk fashion.
I have been in this boot for my entire Pro career, even ski racing in them as a teen. Skied in this shell as it changd hands from Raichle, Kneissl to today's Full Tilt. Full Tilt has taken it to the next level with graphics and offering different performance tongues, and created their own Liners through Intuition.
Is a timeless boot and has been copied by other companies, but you can't beat the lightness where the others have failed. The full forward flex with a floating rear cuff keeps shin bang to a distant memory. Liners mold to every nock and cranny of your foot as well as the shell making booting an ease and keeping your foot toasty. Foam liners may be stiffer, but don't come close to the fit. If you have the foot for Full Tilt give them a try.
Hey Seth, In the last couple of years I've really improved my skiing, and have started charging some heavy terrain and cliffs. I've also started skiing a little in the park, but most of my time is spent all-mountain. My olds boots have ZERO shock absorption and I have heel bruises all over. Assuming full tilts fit my foot, would you suggest your pro model boot or something like the hot dogger or konflict if I ski about 75% all-mountain (everything from groomers to pow to sidecountry) and like 25% (maybe a little less) park. Keep up the fantastic work! -Ben
I've been skiing the bumblebees for about 2 seasons now. I have a wider toe-box and I've noticed some cramping because they are narrow (I've been skiing about 40 times in them, so, the liners have slightly packed out). I just put a new footbed in them, so, if that helps with arch support and the cramping stops, I'll report back.
I demoed these last year and they fit great. I have fairly narrow feet but HUGE bunyons on my fore foot that make my feet super wide up front. With that said, this boot fit awesome, however, DO NOT buy a boot without trying it on first w/ a pro boot fitter (sports authority and dicks doesn't count). After you do that, come back to backcountry and get the sick deal.
Having said that i have a really wide flat foot and i wear 98mm Head race boots, i undo the two lower buckles on the lift but they are really comfy.. i think that a narrow boot is better because it is less likely to develop slop as the linner packs out (which it will!!). And you can always get the boot punched if need be.
i'm about a 100mm last and still tried these on with a pro fitter. They were a little too snug, but the boot fitter explained how the liner in this boot is most customizable liner out there this year. He went on to say that my 100mm foot would easily be accommodated by simply customizing the liner a little. He said the shell could be punched a little too. A Full Tilt rep explained the same thing and said that this boot could accommodate up to about 101-102 last with custom work, but that they wouldn't go more than that. Also, if you have too much discomfort on the inside of the ankle, the bad news is that there isn't much room to punch the boot in that specific area, based on the nature and construction of the boot in the old school style. This is also a fairly stiff boot (120 ish), but you can easily replace the tongue with a softer one, as the whole flex of this boot is controlled by the tongue. If you're jumping cliffs, this stiffness might be perfect. If not, you might want to put in a different tongue.
I have the same size boot as Seth, and I weighed them at the post office today. A pair of size 25 mondo weighs 8.1 pounds. That's about 1850 grams for a single boot, which is pretty close to the stiffest touring boots out there.
In comparison, my old salomon promodels with foam liners weigh 9.5 pounds for a pair in the same size. That's a big difference.
