the main question to answer is: is the pain caused from sliding into a narrower part of the boot, or is the boot too small in a certain part of the foot? without knowing that there is no fix that will for sure do it, but if you can identify which problem it is, then you can start to address that problem, not just how do you make your boot fit better, that could mean a million and one different things to different people.

You could try booster straps. I feel like they don't do a whole lot though, it could help with shin pain.

i had the same problem buy volume reducers if you do not want to go to a boot fitter or go buy craft foam and cut it into the shape of your foot bed

Start with a bootfitter. Everyone should have custom footbeds, helps your foot sit in the correct position for comfort/control. You may want to heat mold or punch your boots depending on what problems you are feeling and they'll help with that.

I just got Zipfits to replace my packed out liners, they have amazing heel lock and the cork is easy to heat mold and punch to get a perfect fit. I was feeling like my boots were 90% perfect, zipfits got them to 100%. Spendy but I won't go back to foam liners

Get super thin ski sock. An insole might work, or get the boot punched

Yeah, get Zipfit. It's a game changer.
