Ive already done research and they sound like a great boot. But I dont know if its the one for me or not? I ride mostly all-mountain aggresively weight 195 pounds. Need tips, advice, help, and so on!
 
What does that have to do with anything?

If the boot fits, than good. Although, with your size, and the fact that you ski aggressive all mountain, you might what a stiffer boot than a 90 flex. It's all personal preference however.
 
Never buy a boot online unless you have tried it on else where. You have no idea if it will fit at all. I wear a size 10 shoe and a 26.5 boot so on that logic you should be in a 27/27.5 not 28.5. Technica also have genrally a high instep over the navic bone, so unless you have a high instep chances are they will hurt your shins. You could get them fitted buut then you may as well buy a boot that fits in the fisrt place. A 90 flex will also be very soft for your weight. I weigh 170 and use a 110 and it still feels way to soft in teh steep stuff. Do your self a favour go to a shop try them and if they do fit then maybe consider getting them off here, but why would you wan a second hand liner which will probably no last lang?
 
I heard the comment that I responded to wrong.

Like stated, get them fitted. The boot might seem nice and ideal, but it can be just terrible in reality. Seriously, don't buy boots online, might as well gamble your house. You'll be in pain if you lose. Go try it out. Ask the seller to hold them off so you can go check it out.

And again, boot might be soft. I had an 80 flex boot that was wearing out after a few seasons anyways. I'm about 20lbs lighter than you, the boot was way too soft, unresponsive and generally not fun. Look into something around a 110-130 flex. Even though different boot companies will have different flex feels.
 
ah unless you like a real soft flex or have some buddies at a boot shop that will hook them up for you, i'd say to go with a stiffer boot, and even still, it's questionable, especially if you're gonna be riding aggressive all-mountain and are almost 200. i'm 110 and have the agent 90s - they're more comfortable than the lange boots i had but even with footbeds, heel lifts and other work done, I still feel like it's hard get the stiffness and responsiveness you need. but i have 2 buddies that are around your weight, ski aggressively and got the 120s, they've been loving them. just something to think about...
