Can’t butter with my boots
Whenever I try to butter my heel presses up really hard against the back of my boot and it feels terrible, which means I can’t really butter. I don’t know if this is because of the kind of boot, the boot size, or my heels. I’ve watched videos and I’m pretty sure I’ve got the form right and I don’t know what else to do. Does anyone have any tips or a certain boot that would be good for this?
Sounds like you have boots that don’t fit.
What boots do you have? It helps if they have a nice pliable flex. FT boots are really good for this.

I have Salomon qst pro 100 with custom shell. Are FT boots good for other types of skiing? I kind of ski all types but I’ve been getting into park and jumps recently.

Are those boots? And what kind are they?
they are full tilts and they are amazing I've had performance boots for all mountain but nothing can beat full tilts all around I can hang in the park in the morning and go rip groomers with friends the rest of the day full tilts aren't just park boots they are great for anything

Great to know man thanks. I’ve heard of full tilts before but never really gave them a go. I’ll try them out :)
I had the same problem last year. My boots were just too big and didn't secure my heel. Try modifying your boot (assuming it isn't absurdly big for you) and if it doesn't work go get fitted for new ones.
Either get better fitting boots or just go faster and really exaggerate the form of the whole trick , that really helped me when learning . But unfortunately, that is one trick that definitely requires a proper fitting boots, any heel play will make it super hard unless you're flying off a knuckle

Same with me, got a size down in Full Tilts and they’ve been the best boots I’ve ever owned

go to a bootfitter and find a pair of boots that fit you, dont just walk in and say, i want a pair of full tilts
I was in Full Tilts for 4 years and they just didn't feel right. DO NOT just assume they are gonna fit you feet great either. Go have a chat with a bootfitter and be open to any boots. They are professional and know what they are talking about. Go with an open mind and they will find you the best boots for your feet and riding style.
Cant ski in boots that dont fit
sounds like your boots dont fit, (V helpful i know) but you dont have to go out and buy new boots, and definitely dont go buying full tilts because people on NS told you too. You could try wearing a thicker sock, or putting a thicker footbed in your boot. Are your boots new or old, are your feet moving because the boots dont fit or the liners are packed out? I put new liners in my boots last season and it made a big difference in performance and comfort.

They may be around a half an inch too long, but that doesnt usually bother me until I try to butter. Where can I find good liners?
Inutution Liners have liners in about 3 different thickness sizes for better fit. Drop them a PM about your issue, they'll work with you on finding right liner.
