I had to go to full customs to get boots to fit my narrow heel / wide forefoot.
However, Harlicks does have an X-Line fit for stock boots, so call that semi-custom.

Quote
X-Line Design:
All stock boot models are available in the X-Line Design at no additional charge.
The X-Line Design is a special boot last that allows for a rounder toe box, fuller arch, and
one width narrower heel.

However, they wouldn't fit me, so I had to go full custom. And after getting one boot refit, they've done me for a couple of years.

Yes, you need custom boots.

The more advanced Jackson boots (those specified as built on the Elite last) come stock in split width with the heel one width narrower than the ball; Jacksons also have a more rounded toe box than many other makes.  If the difference in width is greater, semi-custom split widths are available at a lower cost than full custom (assuming no other foot conditions that require full custom).  A Jackson skate tech will take measurements and tracings of your feet and send them off to Jackson, who will then assess what you need.
