Full Tilt Descendant 4

A quantum leap in ski boot design

3-piece DNA evolved for the freestyle skier who prefers the wider, roomier housing of a 102 last and a flex pattern that is more forgiving.

All parts are sold separately for unlimited personalization and repair using a standard Philips head screwdriver.

Outer Boot
The FTE is a new shell born from the original 3-piece DNA by constructed for those with a wider footprint. Up to 2lbs/900g lighter than other boots due to its smart and minimalistic 3-Piece design that eliminates the need for thick, heavy overlapping plastic or bolts. Unlike traditional designs, the rear cuff never bottoms out. It pivots infinitely forward with your calf for less shell distortion, no shin pain and more control. Soft rubber layer in the sole of the shell absorbs vibrations, impact and shock for a smooth ride. Constructed from a high-grade polymer, the removable outsoles provide added grip and stability.

Liner
All adult boot liners are built using authentic Intuition® closed cell foam. It is body heat activated to mould 100% to your feet and shells during use or can be instantly heat moulded by a shop in minutes for a light, warm and super comfortable fit. An additional layer of ergonomically shaped High-Density Intuition® closed cell foam is wrapped around the outside of the upper liner to increase energy transfer and horsepower to the shell. Unlike conventional liners, our 100% foam construction is air tight with reduced seams to retain body heat like a wetsuit. An additional J-shaped piece of foam is inserted internally on both sides of the ankle area to dramatically increase ankle hold down, to keep your feet perfectly in place for precise control. The Liner's laminates are specifically engineered to provide the most energy transfer to the shell while maintaining its warmth, light weight and custom moldable fit.
Soft flex – Our most forgiving adult flex for lighter skiers looking for maximum ankle motion and comfort. You can quickly change your flex by swapping out different flex tongues. 100 % ribbed tongue enables smoother, more natural linear flex from your shin to your toe. The tongue bends like a flexible straw, never bottoming out while providing smooth rebound. No more shin bang!

Lacing System
The Ladder Buckle features an intuitive, easy to remember, macro-size adjustment, plus a micro-twist for fine adjustment with a light, easy-to-handle aluminium lever.
