It's just a relative weight of my overall feelings about the boot, best used to compare one boot in the same class to another. Not sure if it's useful or not? I have baked my own liners, and if I owned an actual thermo oven I'd keep doing it. But I've had good experiences at SureFoot Santa Monica. They send experienced fitters to L.A. from their Colorado stores, which makes a big difference. The only problem is, they're most experienced doing the Surefoot system, which is different from regular thermofitting. I also get fitting done when I go north, or to Colorado, but this introduces its own problems. That “score” metric is something new I’m playing around with.

Also, and I've always wondered this, who do you get to do your bootfitting in SoCal? Or do you do it yourself, baking your own liners?
