Need Boot Advice.

Hey so pretty much boots have always been a problem for me since I have started skiing. My first pair of boots were like 2 sizes too big, and my current boot are a much better fit but not perfect. Right now with my current boots I have to tighten literally all the buckles to the max so that it fits properly. When I do that however and i try to flex forward it is very difficult to get a "flex" and causes multiple pressure points on my shin. In addition when I first got these boots for the first 3 weeks I had the worst possible "calf bang" in the world. It was just pain on the side of my calf muscle, and I have been getting that more then actually "shin bang".
Pretty much I believe the main problem for my boot problems is due to poor boot fitting. I live in Ohio so I don't really have to big of a selection for getting boots/fitting. So i am asking you guys if you can give me a general brand of boots i should begin looking at. I think i got a normal size foot, maybe a bit narrow, but i have really tiny calves. So are there any boots that would go better for my build?
I am pretty open to any brand really, I just want something that fucking fits.
Thanks
 
I personally use the '08 Tecnica Diablo Magnesium with prescription orthotics ...

As Luke Van Valin would say, these (orthotics/insoles) make you "anatomically correct" ...

These were mint at free-riding, held their own in the park (although not specifically a park boot) and were comfortable when hiking numerous miles in the club fields

 
Check into some of the medium fit 100mm width boots (Tecnica Agent 110, Nordica Hot Rod 95, Rossignol BC 110, Salomon Impact 8) and maybe some narrowish fit 98mm boots (Full Tilt, Salomon Shogun, Nordica Jah Love). The correct boot is the one that is best matched to your foot shape (100mm or 98mm), your flexibility (in relation to the boot's flex index), and how much you weigh (boot's flex index). If you match up all three of these correctly, you found the correct boot for your foot. Then make sure you get the correct shell fit, and make sure you get a good footbed. I can't stress that last part enough.
