Good boot for a high instep?

I've been trying on multiple boots lately and there is always a lot of pressure on the top of my foot. I have a narrow foot with a high instep and ski 40%park/60%everything else. My shop doesn't have the rossignol park boot so I couldn't' try that on. Any suggestions?

Try some of the rossi Power line... ask a shop guy what the comperable boot is now, then try some langes or dalbello kryptons. The kryptons are made for a skinny foot. After that, there are ways that you can pack out certain parts of the liner to make your boot work better, if you have a knowlegable shop then they can help you with that.

I was set on the kryton's if they fit me, I tried them on and they fit my foot perfectly (width wise)until I buckled the straps, there was a lot of pressure on the top of my foot. The shop guy said that the boot wouldn't work for me.

I would look at lange. and add a superfeet insole, its like 20 buck and so worth it.

I've got the same prob and NORDICA is the best for that. They fit so nice and are way underrated.

High-instep= Tecnica. Lange is usualy very low. Salomon is also pretty decent in-step wise. High instep does not mean high arch. If u do have a high arch, a custom insole (no shape before being molded) is your best options. If u don't have access to a good bootfitter, then just get some Volcano or Superfeet, but fully custom is much much better.

technica is the way to go. i have a really high instep and i got the diablos form last year i think. they are money. most comfortable ive ever tried. used to have langes and they were horrible for my feet. i would suggest technica. try this years magmas... they are supposed to be really nice.
