My foot is ~267mm and i'm wondering if 275mm boot (atomic overload) will be better than 270mm. I'm 16,5 years old and I think i won't grow up as fast as i used to lol. I'm asking becouse I found good promotion on internet and i can't buy it localy so i can't try that shit

Seeing as how you are in Poland, I can understand your difficulty in finding boots. Shops in central Europe are not nearly as proficient in boot-fitting as they are in North America, and I can only imagine that Poland is even further removed.

The problem with what you are asking is this: in order to have a great ski boot, someone who has been trained in boot-fitting needs to look at and measure your foot and then select the best matches based on your footshape. Since no one here can see your foot, we will not be able to give you good advice as to what you should buy for a boot.

Without going to a boot-fitter, selecting a boot over the internet will be blind luck. This is why people here will always respond with "go to a boot-fitter". They're not trying to be dicks, just trying to state the answer as bluntly as possible.

In your scenario, I would try as best you can to go to a shop where you can at least try on boots and see what works best for you. If you can find a shop that has a good boot-fitter on hand, that would be the best possible place to go. Other than that, it will be totally random and most likely result in a uncomfortable experience.

Skiing in Poland is more casual than in NA or central europe so we don't have as much stuff as you have ;c, but i will try to talk with my local shop about importing them, i will mb pay a little more than on internet but i will be able to try them on.
 
Go to a bootfitter. And if when you say 275mm and 270mm you are talking about sole length, you should be going by boot size, not sole length. But there's a lot more than size that matters. Go to a bootfitter. You won't regret it.
