I just bought a pair of Lange concept 85 ski boots. I bought them because they were cheap and i have to big of feet to try on boots at a ski shop (30.5, most only carry up to 29.5). I was wondering how you guys think they'll work. I ride mainly park. Thanks.

I'm not terribly familiar w/ the Concept 85 model but the shop I work at has a few Concept XX that I have tried on, and for me, and most other ppl, Lange's generally fit narrow... but if they seem to fit you well...

i live in ohio and the session has sucked so far, so i didnt find it important on buying expensive boots this season, also because i wear a size 30.5 i couldnt try boots on and buy from a shop

any shop worth their salt has at least one pair in a 30.5 and you will probably find you fit in a smaller boot

^basically when they say "easy" and "warmth" they mean it's not a very close fitting boot. You'll be riding park a lot so it shouldn't be that bad if they fit, IF THEY FIT.
