sounds like you have too many questions to order off the internet. See a boot fitter you'll be alot happier. If you still want to take a shot in the dark, some sites let you order 2 sizes and return one
The next time you go skiing check at your mt. With 6hrs of driving i bet you can find a good boot fitter. May mean missing a morning of skiing but it'll be worth it later on. In the mean time i'd use your old boots for urban or backyard or whatever your doing in the city
People that really care about there boots don't get pissed off at me but I think boots dont really matter all that much. As long as you like them and they dont makeyour shins hurt.
Yeah, but still go and try boots on. If you find a boot that fits, but its much cheaper online, thank your boot fitter and give him something for his time(tip, beer, a nice card)
thank you it pisses me off like no other when you work with someone for about an hour trying to find the right boot and then once you find it oppps i need to think about this one sorry have a nice day...........but one time i got a 50 dollar tip
Sounds to me like you are just making excuses. If you really want to buy your boots online, do it. But be prepared to deal with the consequences (if there are any) don't complain about it later.
