I was going for the 2010 Head JO Pros Boots or the 2010 Nordica Jah Love Boots
I would also like some other boots
My foot in shoes is 12-13, I have a wide foot and a high instep (my calf is pretty big too)
Could i get some suggestions

Don't listen to anyones advice about boots unless they're a boot fitter.
Don't buy boots that everyone says are the best boot ever (SPK's) they usually aren't.
Buy a boot that is comfortable for you. Not what someone else says are comfortable.
And unless you're a serious park skier. Don't worry about buying park boots necessarily.

the expression to tell everyone you're 12. nice going. tell me when your balls drop.

full tilts would not be the best choice. go to your local shop and get fit. safest thing to do. then once you find the pair you like get that shit online for cheap. good luck!!

and I'm pretty sure neither of the boots mentioned in the OP are relatively wide either.

The JOs are a middle of the road, and narrow in terms of a head boot. Last of 100-101 IIRC.

Its basically the doberman 130 race boot, with a different plastic, and a nice padded liner.
