I have ft first chairs and they squeezes my achilles tendon down so my heel cant move, but in ft hot doggers, they dont squeeze my tendon. What are the advantages or disadvantages of it?

you want your heel locked down and not swimming around in a properly fitting boot. your first boots fit you or the liners arent as packed out as your other pair. a bootfitter can fix that with padded inserts.

I know you dont want to be swimming but does it really matter if it is like pinching it in place or not?

Well, if ur heel travels travels up and down very easily then yes I wud suggest getting the tighter fitting boot, but if it doesnt then they shud be fine.
