So I recently bought some full tilts. I've been skiing for two days with them now, but they're a pain, but then sometimes they fit so awesome! I have to take them off a few times a day due to the pain in my feet from wearing them. Today tho, the last part of the day they were so awesome and comfortable to wear. Anyone eles experienced this? Any advice how to get rid for the pain?

the key(for me) is wearing the same socks pulled as tight as theyll go, and find the perfect tightness and keeping it there

I had a problem very similar to what it sounds like you are having... Most likely either your boots are too big or you need a custom footbed. If neither of these work then the boots probably don't fit you. You shouldn't be in pain at anytime when your skiing. Good luck amigo!

Did you actually go to a boot fitter?

as mentioned, get it fitted...

learn how tight your boots need to be, i used to rock Tecnica Diablos that i could crank down rocktight and they performed excellent, now i switched over to a more comfortable nordica ace of spades boot that doesn't need to be nearly as tight as the tecnicas to perform well !

also, use skisocks and always use the same socks ...

I had the same problem and then I got my boots a footbed from sports athority but not a custom just one of the ones you cut so it fits inside your boots because my feet are going to grow and thats the best way to go. Then, after putting the footbed into my boot I went to coal sport and got my boots heat molded and now they fit perfectly.

I did get them a bit custom made at the store, they put in some soles to avoid my bunion(??google translate) from getting ripped. Also made the right boot a bit wider in the end due to my rigt foot is wider then my left. As said the boot fits so good sometimes! yesterday they were amazing to wear for 5/7 hours on the hill.
I can't really remember but the guy at the store might have said something about "the more you wear them the better they will fit"

got exactly the same thing with my nordicas, make sure you're always wearing skisocks and that you adjust/tighten the boot in the same fashion and you don't over/under tighten the boot :)
