Go to the swap and try some boots on...also, make sure you do a shell fit when you try the boots on as well.
As good as online deals are, I'd stay away from buying boots online unless you have tried on the same model and know that a particular model/size fits you well.
My wife managed to get a decent pair of novice/intermediate boots at the WaWa ski swap for $60...her previous boots were too big but she liked the fit otherwise, so we found the same brand and similar model in a smaller size. We made sure we did the shell fit when she tried the boots on as well.
Ultimately, the boots may not last for more than 2-3 years, but for $60 I can't complain...now all I need to do is sell the old boots...
