Basically, boots are the most important piece of ski equipment in terms of actually enjoying your day on the hill, and also the hardest to get right, so spending more on them by buying from people who know what they're doing will be worth it.

Lou is all hype. Dude has made a living off of convincing people his poor fit is correct so they keep coming back again and again. All my skiing budies that swear by him are seeing him every few months to tweak their fit. Meanwhile those that just go get boots that fit in the first place are in the clear and out skiing in their boots.

Full disclosure, I'm a snowboarder so my boots are comfortable.
