Proper Boot Fitting

Did you go to a boot fitter?

Too small

Are they still pushed up against the end of the boot when you flex?

Most boot fitters will have you pull the liner out and place your food into the boot. With your toes touching the front of the boot (not pressed into it, just touching) the general rule is that you should be able to put two fingers between your heel and the heel of the boot.

well now that i'm in this situation, any ideas on how to make it more comfortable? layer up with more socks?, a cushion? ect..?

Return them if possible, if you can do that then bring them to the shop and see what they can do.

how much pressure have you got? if you are really jammed up against the front you may be in a boot too small for you.

If it is not huge amounts of pressure but enough to be uncomfortable, a footbed should help. It will make sure your foot is sat right in the back of the boot and also prevent any spreading of the foot by supporting the arch, therefore stopping it collapsing. Superfeet are fine as off the shelf footbeds but due to the fact they are pre shaped it is unlikely you'll get a perfect fir to your foot, for this you'd need a full custom footbed, something you'll only get if you go to a boot fitter.

As mention before, shell check yourself in the boot, take the liner out and put your toes just about to the front of the boot, there should be just under 1 inch between your heel and the back of the shell. if there is much less than an inch again you might be a boot that is too small.

The pressure on my toes comes when i'm walking in the boots(yes i know boots aren't made for walking around in) and also when i land on the tips of my skis when sliding a rail or a jump, ect.. if im just cruising around and not getting intense or anything i don't really notice any pressure on my toes
ps: thanks for the input!

This.

With the liners out, you should be able to have 1.5 to 2 fingers behind your heel with your toes touching the front of the boot. Yank your liners out and see what the shell size is.

You can get more room in a shell that is too small by "punching" the boot out. This involves a trip to a bootfitter.
