Honestly, do not try to find a boot online. People will suggest their personal favorite, whether or not it is a good fit for you. Additionally, you need to know how the boot fits on your foot; some boots run narrow, other wide, etc. Go to Ski Haus in Wilmington MA (i-93 N to exit 38, right off exit ramp and its on the right), they have 50% off all stuff, and are really good bootfitters.

You REALLY need to go to a shop and try on some boots. If you're looking at both Lange and Salomon you must not really know how they fit or what shape your foot is, because Lange is about as narrow as you can go and Salomons are super wide.
