Hate to bug everyone, but gotta ask the experts on this one. Any of you know of good boot fitters in Oregon, preferebly between Portland and Mt Hood? So far locals have recommend Hillcrest, but I gotta try someone else. My current boots are from Hillcrest and have had major issues from the beginning, even with having them pressed out a handful of times. Will travel if need be, i'm to my pain breaking point. Really appreciate it everybody.

I have never heard of anyone NOT having a good experience with Hillcrest. They have taken care of me to another level.

Talk to Greg. He's the main bootfitter at HC, he's solved a ton of problems for me and my friends bootwise, I'm very confident in his work.

Thanks for the replies. Last thing I wanted to do was open up a can of worms and talk smack about hillcrest. I think I just got unlucky with them, and got a young dude that didn't have enough experience. Dont shoot the messenger, just saying while sitting in Hillcrest a handful of times, I heard the same couple of salesmen tell customers "they skied these boots last season, they used these skis last season," that they loved every piece of equipment in their store basically. I dont need a yes man, I just want my beat up feet to not hurt. Maybe i'll give them another shot and Try Greg, but maybe not. Thanks again everyone.

Greg has done awesome work on boots that I didn't even buy there. And never gouged me on boot work. Try making an appointment with him, and remember you get out of bootfitting what you put in to it. If something is bothering you sitting on the bench then it's going to bother you when you're skiing.
And if you have hard to fit feet you should never expect your problems to be solved in just a couple of sittings.
