I'm size 13 or 14 depending on the brand and usually a 29.5 shell.

I'll admit I've known people who have good experiences with boots bought blindly online, but it still seems insane to spend so much money in such a risky manner. I have to try on half the boots in the store before finding one that's great - and then spend about 4 weeks fine-tuning the shell punch out.

Harsh... I'm not paying $400 a plane ticket. I understand I need to see a boot fitter, it's just not possible. This is my last resort

I have size 14 shoes. I ski in a tecnica Cochise pro 130. Size 31 shell, 97 mm last.
Do you know what last (width) you usually ski in?
If you don't than don't even consider the purchase, you have to know your last, flex and length and preferably what brands fit you well before making a online purchase. Is your instep high or low? Flat footed? High arch? Lots to consider.

Different brands have different sizes meaning you cannot directly relate shoe size to boot size.

Also it's not just the size of the boot you need to consider things such as last and how much room or volume the boot has. If you buy boots blindly online even though they may fit length wise they may not fit width or height wise which will create pressure points or allow too much room for movement giving the boot a sloppy feeling and bad performance.

What I would suggest you do it wait until you go to the mountains and buy boots then because there is bound to be a ski shop by a ski resort.
