well ryan, i myself have a pair of the kaos, and i think they are horrible. they stand you straight up , the plastic is all kinds of cheap an floppy, they pack out easily.. i just don like them really.. that could also be because i blew my knee out in the beggining of this season in the spks. i partially think it has something to do with my injuryy.. but im gettin the hott doggers. i tried them on an they are very nice. adios

Hotdogger is a WAYYYYY better boot. Full Tilts dominate every other boot in the park. My foot didn't work with the hotdogger, so I got the booter. I couldn't be happier with them. I had Dalbello Rampages last season, and I got super gnarly shin bang and stuff... It was bad. I've been skiing my booters this whole season (2-3 times a week at Park City) and my feet/shins are so happy.The booter didn't work for me because your foot has to be really flat on the top, like literally on the top of your foot (i don't know what it's technically called) but on my feet the top of my foot it really tall, and I couldn't even get the hotdoggers to buckle up... Also I have huge muscular calves, and they didn't fit so well either. I was bummed at first, but the booters were golden for me. Also, check out next years full tilts, because they are SO crazy lookin. Also, get a 28.5. I have size 10 feet and I have a size 28.ONE MORE THING----Full Tilts are CRAZY light
