I know bootfitter.  But i have a hard foot to fit, so i want to make sure the shops have a few boots that might work before i drive an hour or more. 

I have a reallly high arch, and consequently the top of my foot is reallly high and most boots put pressure on the top of my foot cutting off circulation.  I also have a fairly wide foot.  So what kind of models should i take a look at?

my feet are squares too and Salomon has done me well. It's an older boot though, foils or something.

regardless of what boot you are in, you need to invest come money into a footbed to support that arch. You can get a trim to fit one like a superfeet for about $40, or go full custom for $100+. If your feet are as wide as you say, try nordica ignitions, salomon SPK, head mojos, are just a few park boots that have generous fits.

Best advice anyone could give you. Boot shops have something to fit all types of feet. Let them do their job.

Bump.  ya i already have superfeet in my current boots, and the width and arch fit well(solly x-wave 7 or 10?) but because of my arch the top of my foot is realllly high and that vein on top of your foot gets cut off.  Also i ski 80% all mountain and am 6'4" 190lbs, so i don't want a soft boot.

woah, you've got like the same feet as me... the only boot I got to fit me right was the FullTilt Booter. I've had dalbellos, and tried all the other FT, and none of it worked except for the booters. weird i know, its the really high arch and tall top of my foot. Also, i wear superfeet in all my shoes and stuff, but the booters had enough arch for me after they got all molded. I know its a ridiculously soft boot, but try it on if you can, and if it works you can order stiffer tounges and stuff. But I was in the same boat, no boot would even fit my foot.
