Difference between the hot doggers and first chair?

Hey, I was wondering if there is any difference in the two boots other than flex? If I put a #10 tongue in the hot doggers, will they essentially be the same boot? I ride park probably 70% of the time and charge the other 30. Any advice would be helpful, thanks!

you'll also need to add metal buckles, a ridged boot board, and a pro liner

Do the hot doggers not come with a pro liner? What would be the difference in the liners on the mountain? Also, could you please explain the ridged boot board for me? Thanks!

both have pro liners, the only difference is metal buckles, flex, and the bootboard

Will I regret not having the softer boot board of the hot doggers when landing deep or knuckling? Is my best bet to get the doggers and buy a stiffer tongue?

i dont know if ull regret it, but the #10 flex is extremely stiff so unless ure an ex racer and like that feeling if ur skiing 70-30 id go with the booters and buy a #8 flex
