do not order boots online. go to a good boot fitter and find a boot that really fits.

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

you don't need a freestyle boot to be happy.  In fact, most pro's (except for Salomon) ride modified versions of their race boot.

There's no shops by your local mt? where there's skiing there's usually shops

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.

Make sure you have the same size foot as the internet.

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)

I just got a pair of Technica Agent 80's in off backcountry, the fit really well and seem solid. PM me if you want the pictures.

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.
