Hot Doggers, Konflict, or First Chair?

So I went to the boot fitters to fit some boots to see which size I should get and when I went to purchase the 25 hot doggers online, they were sold out! I am going to be riding mostly park this year with some charging and powder as well. Would I be better off getting the 25.5 hot doggers and getting a custom foot bed or going with the 25.0 Konflicts or First Chairs? Will it be hard to do tricks in the park with the stiffer boots and different boot boards? Any advice is welcome!

Also, if the 25 hot doggers fit perfectly, does that mean the Konflicts and First Chairs will also because they all have 99mm lasts? Or should I try those on as well before making a decision?

you do realize that all full tilts are exactly the same, minus the colours, tongues and buckles right?

Haha....actually all full tilts are not the same. ie: booter, high five have a 102 last.
I would say you should really try on all three if you've never owned full tilts before so you can try flexing them. I know you said you already went and they fit but the three boots you just named all have very different flexes. I also kinda think you should just buy em at your fitters shop to support them but I don't know your entire situation and maybe there's a killer deal online and that's all you can afford. (holy run on sentence. Inb4 grammar police). Anyway so there's quite a few peeps who will say that even a 10 flex tongue is softer than say a 120 flex traditional boot. Personally I have never thought the full tilts flexed too soft with the exception of the booter but it's supposed to be soft. Now you have alot of options with the full tilts. You could get any of those boots and change out the tongues for desired flex and you could even buy an active bootboard to slap in the first chair. So I'd say get what looks the best to you and interchange accordingly. That said though, all my buddies who rock full tilts ride the konflicts right out of the box. However, this year with them being as ugly as they are, a few of those guys (after myself switching over) are getting atomic hawx 120s. Your probably saying "hawx?". Yeah dude. We have found that the forefoot flex in those things locks your heel, even under stress. Makes butters, presses, etc soooo much easier but I digress. So anyhow, hope that helped.
