Let's say I'm feeling lazy... or crazy... I'm so out of the loop now it isn't funny, too. Which brands/models would be worth looking into for a woman with low-arches? Not sure if it makes a difference, but I also have a tendency to underpronate. Yeah, weird combo.

I really want to go to a bootfitter. But $$$ is definitely an object. And with Ski Sundown's ski swap coming up, I'm just trying to get an idea if there's anything I could look for just in case I may happen across something good... or a good deal online. Then I could always have good custom footbeds made and all that afterwards... But at least I'd be starting with something better than my beginner boots that don't fit anyway.

Thoughts? Suggestions? Or at least a direction you could send me? I know you're mostly guys on here but most of you know a lot more about gear than I do right now.

It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place.
