I recommend Bumps in Elsternwick Victoria, Australia. Any of the boot fitters are all trained, and very good at what they do.

Larry is now over 80 years old and a legend in the boot fitting game in Australia. I have only owned 2 pair of boots in 25 years skiing and Larry fitted them both. I have NEVER needed to break them in or have any alterations done.

Additional Comments:
2 years after I bought my boots, I took them back and complained about pain I was getting in my legs. They checked everything over, talked about what I was doing differently, called in the on-site physio who explained that I've been working out incorrectly! He sent me home with instructions on how to correct my training — worked a treat! And didn't charge me anything. LOVE these people.

Another shout out for Solutions 4 Feet in Bicester - sorted out my boots, and more importantly sorted out dh who with his previous boots was suffering serious quad burn even before he put on his skis (combination of small wide feet, narrow heel, wide calf). Only problem is that they are over 350 miles away. (whywhy)
I saw Colin of Solutions4feet in Bicester, England. I guess there's no harm in giving him another recommendation. (SaraJ)
I haven't seen Colin as a bootfitter, but I have had some great discussions with him on line. I'm not surprised that you had a good experience with him. (SnowHot)

the best bootfitter I've met, Bruno Bornicat. (Heddious)
I had to search the internet to find this bootfitter as the information was incomplete in the other thread. Luckily he has a most unique name and I can read French at a passable level. (mustski)

Additional Comments:
I (and many people I know) have had an excellent experience with these guys. For those that don't speak German, ask for Colin, who speaks excellent English.
First time I went there was mid-season and they didn't have much range left. They told me they wouldn't sell me a boot that wasn't just right, and promised to ring in Autumn to let me know when the new models were in. They kept their promise, then spent more than two hours fitting the right boots and making custom insoles, making mods to the plastic shell etc. Two seasons later and they are still super comfy (well, for ski boots anyway).

There are some great bootfitters here in the Netherlands too... Don't ask me why, though. No mountains, no snow... But still.
