Replying to Boot Compromise: Control vs Comfort

Currently riding K2 Methods, they don’t fit me very well (bought them online like an idiot) and they start to hurt too much to ride after 4-5 runs. Also have a good bit of heel movement, even when cranking the buckles all the way. Im planning on going to a bootfitter for next season, i just wanted to know if there’s a compromise between comfort and performance. Like if i have a boot that keeps me super locked in and fits well, is it going to be comfortable?
