I totally just shat all up in my ski boots

Ok heres a question. I have to buy some boots, I chose some solomon foils because they're sicknasty and nice, and after skiing with shit boots for 4 years Im ready for some pleasure.
Heres the problem. I have to order them online, and im not sure which size to get. My local ski shop (who doesnt carry ski equipment in the summer) measured my foot and said I needed a 26.5 mondo, but the conversion chart on solomons website says that with a size 10 foot, (which I have), you need 28 mondo. Was the ski shop dude just saying that so I would buy one of the few boots he had left? What should I do?
And I need to get the boots in 14 days because Im leaving to travel, and I will be skiing.

BUY YOUR BOOTS FROM A KNOWLEDGABLE BOOTFITTER!!!

congratulations! your boots are too big!
a size 27 from salomon is really a 27.5 shell with a 27 liner. they'll be fine for maybe a season before they become sloppy and you'll spend cash money on getting them padded to take up space!
listen to the fucking bootfitter! there's a reason bootfitters make the most money in ski retail!

salomon foils have a cheap liner. they keep your feet warm but they pack out like mad. your 27 wont feel like a 27 after 10 hard days on snow, I promise. always go smaller. you can always punch a boot and make it bigger but you cant shrink a boot.

true say but if you're skiing a foil boot either a) you're not skiing hard enough to destroy it too quickly b) aren't heavy enough for a real boot c) grossly misinformed about ski boots
tell me, do you have a wide foot?
