Replying to Bad form. Who should I pay first, Bootfitter or Instructor?

CheesusChrist:
my boots just feel so fucked and maybe that's the root of all problems.bBut also i feel like I have shitty form. I don't ski with anyone better than me and I never see videos of myself so I have no clue.

I've NEVER felt comfortable in the air. Every trick is just kindof flung, flailed. I don't know if it's my pop or pop timing or forward/backward lean but I just can't figure it out so maybe an instructor would help. Or maybe better boot fitting would alow me pressure my boots properly in the pop.

This goes for park like I said, but it might be my form becaus after just hitting steeps and moguls all day my pressure points are still fucked.

Does the boot fitting cause bad form which causes foot pain or is there some other order of the 3? Let me know fam
