Full tilt boots are fitting a little bit small

I have a pair of descendant 6s and they are a little bit too tight in the toes but I tried on a size up and they are way too big. Does anyone have any tips to get them a little bit longer in the toe box without a custom footbed?

A footbed wont increase the size of the toe box. First of all you should go to a bootfitter to get you in the proper boot. You could punch the toe box. Also a heel lift could bring your foot off the toe box a little.

You're right that a foot bed won't increase the size of the toe box, but it will help your foot fit better in that space.

By getting proper support under your arch, your foot doesn't sit as flat and your toes don't splay out as much at the front. A custom foot bed helped me fit in a smaller size shell and gave serious comfort/performance benefits.

That said, work with a boot fitter.

I have these exact boots, got them new this season from The Ski Monster in Boston. I had the same problem when trying them on, too big when I sized up, too small when I went my true size. I asked the boot fitter and he said to go my true size, which then had them heat molded to my feet. They allowed for more room in the toes. My advice is to go to a boot fitter and ask them to heat mold it.

U want as tight as possible without pain. Toe punch the liner first to see if that fixes it. Procrastunate all shell mods until ur desperate.
Someone tell me tho, does shell molding work in full tilts?

Not sure about the Descendants but I know the new shells for the other models are heat moldable. Not sure if its just the 2019/2020's or if the previous years are too.
