I have to change my boots. I decided to go with FT cause I have pretty narrow foot. /but I don't know if I should buy Konflicts or HotDogger. I'm BC(butters and switch skiing) and Jib(presses, butters, hand drags) skier, who needs something little stiffer than Kaos. Which one would be better ? I have no possibilty of buying any other FT boot or diffrent tongues.
 
If you want a stiffer boot then go with the Konflict, the #8 tongue is much better in the backcountry.
 
Yea that confused me at first. Then I thought about Wiley Miller in Eye Trip and it all made sense. But yea usually when I think of backcountry I wouldnt think of butters and switch skiing...
 
When I think of backcountry I think of charging hard down Alaskan steeps and hitting >20 ft cliffs at the same time. Either that or gnarly treeskiing. I like Eric Pollards skiing and I'm not saying he doesn't do backcountry, but he has given too many people the wrong idea about backcountry.
 
theyre both going to fit the same besides a slightly wider toe box in the doggers. just depends if you want a stiffer boot go konflicts, slightly softer go doggers.
 
all in all, konflicts and hotdoggers are pretty similar. they both have active boot boards, but konflicts have the all important metal buckles and a cable cover that im not embarrassed to be seen with. the flex is similar, and you should not feel a huge difference between a 6 and an 8. hotdoggers are technically supposed to be better for park, but i think i would tend for konflicts because i just think it is a more well-rounded boot.
 
Correct me if im wrong, but I think they are exactly the same except for the flex. So you could buy the one you think looks sicker and then buy or trade for the other tongue stiffness.
