Thanks again to everyone, especiially Swingbeep - that diagram really helped along with the Youtube extracts. Anyone else looking to buy should also watch the skidotcom youtube videos - they're really clear - and some basic but clear advice can be seen on http://www.alpineaccessories.com/bootselection.html.

The thing I was trying to explain was "forward lean" - as the two boots I was looking at had different amounts, with the Salomon much more inclined than the upright Atomic. Will look at this whne I buy the boots today.

I whave changed my mind about the size and will go with the smaller - this is what all the bootfitters in these videos have said.
Wish me luck at the shop today!

Thanks
SF
