Word. You need to at least have to figure out what you like. For reference, my cousin's shop in Albuquerque charges a dollar a minute for bootfitting for boots that aren't going to be purchased at the store. He says they have a half-hour minimum. Granted, most people don't get charged, but it's a dick move for sure to take up a person's time and then not give them anything in return and just bounce out, 'na mean?
Anyways, for starters you should also read Lyndon's thread on self-bootfitting, so you get the idea.
Bottom Line: Try them on first at a shop where they can tell you what's "good". Jea.
