the shop im going to only carries booters, hot doggers, not drop kicks. if i try on hot doggers/ classics will they fit similar enough to the drop kicks so i can order them online?

this is if i even choose FTs so inb4 hate, just a general question

ask someone at the shop. i did this similiar move a few years ago. i tried on the classics and i think i was told they had the same fit as the booter, so i made my judgement of the classics. good luck mayne!

Classic's is rigid, hot dogger is shock absorbing. Classic will generally be the preferance all mountain, but the hot dogger is more forgiving on hard landings in the park.

Drop Kick also has a bootboard for hard landings, and tongue is much more flexible than the hot dogger, the dropkick is a #4, HD is a #6.

Don't be that guy, support your shop if they're bootfitting you.

Go with the Wallisch Hot Dogger. For a little extra, you get a ton of features and it really does look a lot better than the drop kick. you could also check out the Dalbello Il Moro?
