I could do some grahpics for ya.
Here's some samples:

These are all hand drawn, fairly sketchy. I can do more polished, the above were done with no preliminary planning. They were colored in photoshop. Tell me what you think.
yes, to an extent. Unless your foot grew by like 8 inches and you just want to get a boot thats a couple sizes smaller or larger you should be fine. Some bindings like my s8 10 have a range of like 8 sizes.
Thanks for the tip, I'll probably be going to get boots next saturday (40% off at my local ski shop, plus I got store credit =). On D-structure though, they've still got the line boot. Hmmm...
right now i have rental head EZ on 4.0 boots (total n00bster material). However, they are considered pretty wide from what I've heard. Nevertheless, I still manage to get foot cramps in them, and I took out the liner, put my foot in, and there's at least a thumb's worth of space in the shell...
get the rossi bandit b2, you won't regret it. I tried them, they are incredible. Smooth carving, plenty of pop, effortless medium radius turns, steady in the crud, and they're wide-ish so they have floatiation.
