Boot Footbed question

Hi,

So, i have new boots (from a boot fitter) and have a slight issue but want advice.

When i put them on say at home with my footbed in feels quite good as i would expect. Problem is i have used them 5 times now but after say 2 hours there is pressure on the top of my toes and it feels like its cutting circulation off a bit.

So, on each occasion i have whipped my footbed out and just skied in the standard intuition liner, which is all good to cruise around in but no where near as supportive/i get a bit of toe bang which is lame.

i feel like with my footbed in i need like and extra 2mm in that tiny spot, which is next to nothing. Is it just a waiting game till the liner naturally compresses or is there a way anyone would suggest to compress the liner a bit?

Or another idea i thought would be to shave a small amount off the bottom of the footbed.

I know everyone loves to get in on a boot question so hit me with it. And yes if the answer is go back to the bootfitter i will just wanted to hear ideas so i have some background info.

I actually just found this from 5 years ago and it makes a lot of sense. A boot fitter i spoke to told me i could take some off the plastic bed under the actual liner. And i have a dremel so could easily take a mm off the little bump that's pressing on my foot.

"This is the instep area of your foot...no need to name the actual bone, and the others you named while they are real bones in the foot are nowhere near this area ;) Insteps are very difficult to work on and sometimes boots with a 3-piece tongued design aren't the easiest to work on in this area. However, there is always a fix. Your issue could be that you don't have enough space between your instep and the foam/plastic above it. One thing you can do is take a Dremel to the plastic area above your instep where you have pain and slowly and carefully grind down the plastic to make it thinner and more pliable in this area. Be careful that you don't cut through the tongue or destroy the stitching that binds the plastic to the other material, then it could all fall apart...

You can also remove the bootboard and grind it down a few millimeters on a bench grinder. Just make sure not to accidentally cant the bootboard in the process or grind away too much so that your foot will rest on the part of the shell where the bootboard should be.

Lastly, if these fail, you should look into an aftermarket liner to help solve your volume issue. There are a variety of Intuition liners that have varying thicknesses over the instep which can help."
