Its probably gonna depend mostly on how wide your foot is. Booters are going to be much wider in the foot, whereas dropkicks are narrow. I'd suggest going and trying them on, thats the best way to know whats right

dont make the mistake, try some on and make sure they are purely comfortable before purchasing (try them on) and dont let the price or swag convince you on buying them... comfort>swag

Buy whatever is the steeziest homeboy. I'd recommend getting the biggest size you can find so if you crash your foot will come out of your boot and you won't get hurt. Boom swag

You have got to be kidding me, get them fucking fitted at the shop to see what boit is best for you, you may find nordica boots are the best for your foot... don't try and look steezy because if a boot doesn't fit you'll get evenworse shin and toe bang

Never buy boots online. You will still need to have them fitted in a shop and seeing how you did not buy them in the shop they can charge you quite a bit to fit them. Also if they happen to be the wrong size or fit there is nothing you can do. Whereas buy in a shop you should get a garentee meaning you can swap the boots if they are not working.

Overal go get fitted up in a shop.

I obviously see where you are coming from with the whole shop fitted idea, but i live in Illinois with like 1 good ski shop across 4 states. I found a place with free returns so that's nice.

Go to a bootfitter. Good boots are the most important piece of equipment you can get. Don't get Full Tilts just because they're popular, get them IF they work for you. If you have wide feet, you won't be comfortable in Full Tilts.

Then wait untill you can make a trip to a shop. Really you can not get a boot online. You can't fit them so there is simply no point spending money on good boots that you can't get fitted.

It really is worth waiting untill you can get fitted

Good luck returning them after you ski in them or fit them.

Unless you got them from Backcountry. ) Fucks are given by them. They wont give you your money back though.
