well if you want boots for park definitely get the hot doggers or drop kicks. the classics will still be good in the park so you wont have to worry if you buy a pair

The classics are almost the exact same as the hotdogger. The only difference is that the hot dogger has a foam insert (boot board) that is a little squishy to absorb shock, whereas the classics boot board is rigid.

I have the hot dodgers, can't say I've ever noticed the boot board, so I'd go with classics next time

I have the classics and theyre fine in the park. They're stiffer than the hot digger but not as stiff as konflicts. Good all around. Most their boots other than the booters are pretty similar with different flex tounges. The hot diggers have that shock thing in the heel but I don't know how big a difference it makes? Classics are sick either way favorite boots ever.

Make sure that they fit.

Personally, I'd look to get something with metal buckles as opposed to plastic.

Sure they do. Konflicts, First Chairs, and the Seth pros. All better boots than the Classics for sure. I have the First Chairs. 10 flex for big mountain and powder, 8 flex for park. Wouldn't have it any softer than 8

This. You will want the metal buckles. Trust me. Get the first chairs I would say and adjust it for what you want.

If the kid is little, 10 might be too stiff.
Konflict would be good. And I'm sure if he doesn't like his tongues, he'll be able to trade with someone on NS looking for stiffer tongues.

You don't need a squishy rubber foot board. I'm completely fine with my rigid footboards in the park. My friend has Konflicts, and is about 120lbs, and doesn't find the flex 8 tongues stuff at all

No, you don't. They make virtually no difference, especially for the amount extra that the hot doggers are.

yeah, i tried both on at the same time (one on each foot), and there was basically no difference except the hotdogger had a bit squishier heel. it wouldnt really be worth paying the extra 50$ for anyways
