Replying to FT Booters vs. Hot Doggers

Alright, sorry in advance for creating yet another FT thread. There have been WAY too many, but I'm looking for some help.

So yesterday I went into my shop and was thinking bout getting some 2010 Full Tilt Booters. I tried on 26.5 because that's what I was fitted into last year. They fit OK (my toes could touch the front of the boot, dont know if thats bad). Then I decided to try on the 27.5. They fit a little more comfortable, I'd say (didnt touch the front with toes). Next, I tried on 27.5 in the 2010 Hot Dogger. FIT VERY DIFFERENT. Alot bigger than the 27.5 Booter. In addition, I felt as if the heel/mid sole fit was also different. It felt alot more narrow.

Here's my question: Do the Booter and Hot Dogger have different fits? Are the heel/midsole area's shaped differently?

thanks much
