so i have been fitted into 29.5 ft classics ( the red ones ) but i found last years red and white hot doggers in the same size for cheaper...would these fit the same ??? Ik they have the same tongue flex but would the different liner( if there is one) change the fit???

there is a different liner, the wallisch has the pro liner, and the classic has the performer liner. the pro has been known to be a bit more "puffy" or fits a bit smaller. but it will pack out, so there wont be much difference in the long run.

but still get fitted for it IMO, just in case!

ok and i was fitted with the fact that i would still be growing...if this helps the tips of my toes touch the liner when i flexed the boot so the "puffier" liner would probably be better...what one is the better liner in your opinion...these would be all mountain boots btw

the classics are a better boot IMO. it has a 6 flex tounge and a solid bootboard. whereas the 2011 wallisch (red/white) has a 4 flex and a shock absorbing bootboard. i would stay with the classics if i were you

i know your still growing, but the liners pack out a lot when you heat mold them so i would not suggest getting such a large boot. based off your description they sound way too big

The 2011 hotdoggers have a 6 flex. And the pro liner in the hotdoggers is much better than the performer found in the dropkicks and classics.

I had tried on a 27 drop kick, and figured the Seth would fit fine, but I was wrong. For some reason I get a huge pressure point halfway up my outside calf. So be careful

Wrong. Last year's hot dogger's have a 6 flex. The only difference between the 2 boots is that the HD has a active boot board (1 inch of rubber in the heel, so much better IMO) and a better thicker liner. Otherwise its the same boot. If you can get last years for cheaper, do it.

ok so the red and white doggers have a 6 toungue not a four...and to KangBang if i was fitted to classics in a 29.5 with the fact in mind i would still be growing would the 29.5 dogger fit the same and still work for all mountain

Yeah. the HD have a flex 6. The only time HD's were sold with a flex 4 were in 08/09. I'm not sure about the second question. Ask your bootfitter.
