So, whenever someone needs new boots the answer is always go to a bootfitter and whatnot.

My question is, do pros get bootfitted? Or do they just sign with a company and deal with pain, and try to make the boots fit?

fitters can change the fit by grinding out the shell and stuff, with such modifications most companies can probably cover the wide range of feet their athletes have

You can get custom liners, foot beds, insoles, canting, and shell mods on your boot. Its pretty much impossible for the boot not to fit a pro because of all the mods you can make to a boot.
