Replying to East coast boot fitter?

hey guys, I need some help...
I really need a good pair of boots for this season but I'm not sure where to find a good boot fitter. I live in northern CT and commuting to ithaca, ny and back for school. Are there any shops you guys could recommend in CT, MA or somewhere I can make a pit stop on my way to school in upstate NY? My last pair of boots sucked so I'm willing to drop some serious billz because I'm looking for a good fitting boot.

thanks for your knowledge and +karma for all.
