Ok so i cant find any hot doggers in my size for cheap enough so im thinking about getting last years drop kicks.
1. are they any good compared to the hot doggers?
2. what do i need to do to make them like the hot doggers ex: flex
3. are they any good for pow? if not what if i make them stiffer?

K+ for any help!

I have rode full tilts for a while and enjoy them. Both of those boots are virtually the same boot, except the tongue ie Flex. All you have to do is swap out the tongue and you're set. Actually though, I think they both might be a 6 flex so, just about the same boot.
I will confirm...

Just make sure these boots fit you and have your foot properly measured before you buy them.

there is a extra plastic bit at the back of the hot doggers if you look closely and drop kicks are a 4 flex

1. Main difference is the hot doggers have a better liner
2. Buy a flex 6 tongue
3. I would buy a stiffer tongue
