I REALLY wouldn't recommend buying some snowboarding boots off the internet, unless you've already tried them on somewhere and know they fit perfectly (and doing that is rather cheeky, IMO). I'd recommend going to as many shops as you can and actually trying on pairs of boots, and seeing how snug the fit around the heel is, etc. You really don't want any heel lift at all ideally, and it took me a lot of trying on pairs of boots until I found some made by Nitro that locked my skinny feet/ankles into the boots perfectly.
I'd also recommend reading up some stuff on the internet, or whatever, on how to choose a good fitting set of boots
