Good boot retailers

Any recomendations for a place that has a good selection of boots?  I have a hard time finding my size.  Also, I think it's time to go all out and do the fitting, with foot analysis, custom bed and all that.

Sign of the skier is a great store.

http://www.thesignoftheskier.com/

It's 3 blocks south of Lawrence on Yonge.

The shop guy was real knowledgable...and custom fitted my SPK Kaos' I picked up just yesterday.

Shaved part of the left liner near the tongue that was rubbing my foot....heat fitted the liners...and

custom foot beds ... while remounting and tuning my skis perfectly for me.

Im pretty stoked.

They were actually the first one I called today.  They sound really professional, but their selection in my size doesn't sound too good.

Dude, if the shop is confident you are a buyer, they will order the boots for you. Or you can buy them at a place with your size and shitty fitters (sporting life) and pay the sign to custom fit you if you are as ballin as i think you are.

I figured I could order them, but wouldn't be too sure about doing that without trying them on first.

Good suggestion about finding them elsewhere and getting them properly fit there, that's a possibility.
