My foot is fully grown I had a pair of the cheapest full tilts from 2017. Is a boot fitting worth the money? Also any good boot fitting in the New England area?
 
full tilt boots also have heat molding liners so you might as well get them fitted at a shop if you have to go there to mold the liners anyway
 
Yeah it is because there may be stuff like you have a tiny heel and wide forefoot that needs to be blown out in the shell of a low profile boot (like me).
 
Yeah it would make sense. You can have some issues that need correcting and a lot of bootfitter stand by their work so they’ll fix issues for free down the road if you buy from them.

IMO I would never buy boots without a boot fitter. You can have all the nicest/most expensive gear but if your boots are uncomfortable or too big/small you will almost never have a good day. You could just buy some boots without one and might get lucky, but when you're paying a lot for ski boots I don't think it's worth the chance of getting poorly fitting boots. Boot fitter 100%

I also highly recommend getting footbeds with arch support. Personally, custom footbeds fixed all the problems i've ever had with ski boots. My feet/toes are warmer due to better circulation, I don't get toe/shin bang, and I barely have any heel lift in my boots. They were expensive ($200) but they are the best gear investment I've ever made. Comfortable and properly fitting ski boots = more fun skiing.
 
Go to a boot fitter. If the full tilts worked for you in the past definitely try a pair on but be open to other options too. Also, get a custom footbed. Not cheap but other than boots that fit well it's the biggest upgrade you can make for comfort and performance
