Yeah that was basically my point.
If you like Lou's or not it doesn't really matter. I for one have had horrid service at Ski West and Abom for boots. In my experience they've masked the problem instead of fixed it, which results in punching the boot in the wrong spots and exacerbating the problem eventually. This also seems wildly dependent on who you actually see in the store. A family member has a pair from Abom and still loves them almost a decade later.
But yes, my general point was don't buy boots on price point - buy them on fit from a capable boot fitter. Whoever that may be. If they don't measure your foot (regardless of what size you say you normally take), and at least do a basic shell fit - walk out and find another store or sales rep.
