Wide boots?

I CAN'T FIND BOOTS! I'm from Central Pa and don't know of any real bootfitters nearby. Every store I go to tells me I'm a different size, from 27 to 29. I have a wider foot and need a roomy toebox. Everytime I go to a store I try on three or four pairs and the salesperson gets annoyed and trys to tell me that "This" boot is the best for me I just need to spend some time in it. I even took a pair home (Last years Scratch) and they are way to small in the toe, heel is lifting up and my ankle is rubbing like crazy. I'm looking for something with good flex and a less aggressive can't ( like most park boots have ) and I don't exactly have $600 to spend. Any suggestions on a wide boot to try, or if anyone knows of a GOOD boot fitter between the Poconos and Holiday Valley, NY would be appreciated.

SPKs don't fit me at all. Almost no toebox and a super high cuff doesn't work with my calf. Aren't the beasts an aggressive and stiff race boot?

Thanks for all the tips, with the crazy sizes some sales people are putting me in the SPKs could have just been too small. I'll have to try the Beasts and the Foils.
