Drop Kick Pro Ski Boot - 2020

The Full Tilt Men's Drop Kick Pro Ski Boot boasts the same freestyle-friendly shell as the original Drop Kick, except a more supportive, thermo-moldable Intuition Pro liner updates this boot for better comfort all day at the park. Full Tilt's famous three-piece shell construction uses a fully pivoting ribbed tongue and free-flexing rear cuff to provide a smooth and consistent flex. The wide toe box lets your feet maintain circulation without feeling loose or slopping. This boot comes with a tongue that's rated medium on Full Tilt's scale, but it's super easy to swap out for stiffer or softer tongues if you want to fine-tune your boot's flex.

Don't be in too much of a hurry to swap tongues, though, because a good deal of the Drop Kick's stiffness is provided by the heat-moldable Intuition Pro liner, which uses three layers of foam to provide a performance fit that's still comfortable and cushy where you need it to be. Full Tilt's got the whole fit thing dialed—aluminum ratchet buckles and foot-wrapping cables provide a precise fit without clamping down too hard and affecting the flex of the boot. The shock-absorbing footbed helps to cushion hard landings, while the rubber heel adds some more shock absorption and grip on rocky ridge walks and slick parking lots.
