Please read the thread about footbeds (flexible or hard) and then decide about your boot fitting. The advice given here by the members of the PMTS forum is very good. There is a huge difference between the slam dunk fit and the realized fit based on years of on snow experience, pulled into the mix. Skiing with the new boots during a Harb Ski Systems camp of course is the best method available, as we work with folks everyday on snow and indoors to take care of any details that need attention. Nothing is more miserable than running from one ski shop to the other while on a ski vacation because your boots hurt and you bought them at some ski shop thousands of miles away. We have many clients who have gone through that experience. If you get your boots at the beginning of a ski camp and work with the fitters everyday on snow for a week, you are guaranteed the fit you want. Sometimes there are no easy answers, but the alternatives with a bad fit are devastating.
