Question about FullTilt boots (how original)

Yet another thread about FT-boots.
Just out of sheer curiosity, how do the different Full-tilt boots differ from each other apart from the Flex pattern? They all pretty much use the same technology and I like the videos they're showing, it makes perfect sense all.
Now, I need a new boot, and I'm considering Full-tilts, now I know all you assholes are either gonna scream: get the boot that fits or inb4fulltilt, but I have a narrow foot and I figured that, as long as the boot is comfortable, I could ski a FT boot.
Now, is it worth getting a freestyle specific boot, or do the other FT's do well as well? Because the Hot Doggers and Booters look ridiculous; I'd rather get the Classics or something, or does the shock-absorbing foot bed really help?

The only differences between the boots (other than wider design of the new Booter and High Five), is the footbed, which is either plastic or rubber, the liner, and the stiffness of the tongue.
As for using a classic instead, yes that would work just fine, but you may want to buy a rubber footbed, because the shock absorption is really helpful, but it's not a neccesity.

I've got last years Booters, the liners were shot so I put some new ones from last year's Hot Dogger in, rubber boot boards and I've got a flex 9 tongue for pow days, pretty customizable really :)

yeah theyre pretty much the same except for cosmetics but if you do have a narrow foot stick with either the hot doggers or the classics because the das booters fit real wide.

Ok thanks for the info everyone!
But what about the First Chairs, do they just have a stiffer tongue?
It's so good, cool and awesome everything is interchangeable. Classic's with a rubber footbed and a 8# flex tongue on pow days sounds amazing, haha!
Of course they have to fit well too, but that's something for later times!

Oh and another question.
When buying a normal boot the liner ridiculously narrows, thins, decreases in size, which makes your foot swim after 4 days of skiing in your new boots. That's why you always have to buy boots that feel way too narrow.
How is this will Fulltilts? Do the liners flatten too or are you ok buying the boot that fits well in the shop?

The full tilt liner is fully moldable so you should not have this issue after molding them.
