That's always happened to me for the first 5-10 days of skiing after getting new boots, it's nothing to really worry about. Eventually your feet will get used to it or the boot will change shape slightly, but if you really want to solve the problem you'll have to lay down the cash for some custom footbeds.

I dont know if this will help, but always buckle up your boots the way that you wear them after you are done riding. I mean like when they are not in use like in your basement. This helps the boot keep the shape of your foot

You have flat feet...or an extremely high arch. my guess would be flat feet though. i get the same exact problem. Best advice would be get some Superfeet. Find some shop that will do that for you

boots are important for comfort. bindings for safety, and skis for purpose.

get custom footbeds, and perhaps some boot work done. it costs a little bit, but a good boot technician can get a lot done and make a boot super comfy. you shouldnt have to ride in pain

Superfeet makes some quality insoles. Depending on which ones you get, they should only cost $30-40. Just find a ski shop that will make them for you.

boots take at least 3-4 full days of skiing to get worn in, more if you dont ski hard. i made the mistake of hitting a 30ftr all day with brand new boots that fit way more snug than my old one, bruised the hell out of my toe.

They will not really make your boots any tighter, maybe just a tad because there would be arches under your foot, but they take the old insoles out and replace them with the superfeet so it's not like you are adding much. It's worth it.

Ski them ten days then go to a good bootfitter. There is no point asking people online for advice. End of story.
