These boots are actually smaller than the first pair I owned, and when I barely have them buckled, the top of my R foot feels pinched above the arch. Otherwise the boots feel pretty great- overall tight, snug fit. It’s just that my feet fall asleep in the quickly.I DON'T have high arches, so could be wrong.
Is it possible the boots are too big and you are overtightening the buckles? I know you haven't skied them yet and normally this is the symptom and ending result after you've been skiing them a while, but just wondered.
