Boots (I know)

I'm looking to pick up a new pair of boots for this season. Right now I have Dalbello Aerro 65s (pretty much the cheapest I could've bought a few years ago), and I'm finally starting to regret it. Last season my feet hurt too much and were cold too often. I definitely recognize that the best way to buy boots is at a pro fitter, but there aren't any shops within a couple hours of me with fitters whom I'd trust.

What's the best route to take? I wear 27.5s right now, but they're packed down pretty far at this point and are starting to be too big. Are custom liners worth it? Any advice would be appreciated.

Sorry, most of the time I'm on the local hill trying to hit stuff in the park, but this season I'll definitely be doing some more traveling and spending more time all over the mountain. So I'm looking for a pretty versatile boot and having a tough time turning down 50% off sales on The House.

If you don't have any decent boot fitters sound you but your travelling this season wait until your somewhere to ski that does have decent fitters. What you will be able to do yourself is very limited so it would be worth waiting until you can be fitted properly.
