[Suggestions for toe pains]

The fact that it's half a day before it becomes a real issue suggests that it may be an insecure fit rather than too tight a fit and that your foot is actually sliding forward in the boot. If it really is too tight then the best solution is to have a ski boot fitter punch out the shell. as an intermediate step though, try toe-socks. Injinji make a wool liner sock which is very thin and I now use them both for skiing and snowboarding. The fact that the sock isn't squeezing my toes together makes an appreciable difference in how warm my feet stay, and I bet it would help with a slightly too tight fit also.

Awesome, thanks for the suggestion. I'll have to try the toe-socks and see if that makes things better before punching out the shell.

What's your street shoe size?   I'm a US 11.5-12 and squeeze into mondo 28 comfortably after a couple of weeks of breakin.

Don't forget your foot hygiene! .....obviously cut back those toenails a few  days before riding and if you have any toe fungal, even that slight toenail thickness growth  can cause boot discomfort.......file down the surface of those thicker/raised infected nails. 

And don't forget your foot calluses under  the ball of your foot on both sides... these can also take up space in your boot which puts more pressure on your toes.              A Ped egg with a handle can easily work those calluses down.

I'm a 10-10.5 street shoe size, so I think a mondo 27 right and thus I wanted to get some opinions before moving to another boot or liner size. 

My foot hygiene is in good shape, but it sounds like I might need to find a good boot fitter to try to punch out my shell.

Are both feet affected, or only the left?

Goofy or regular?

Greek, Egyptian, or Cuboid?

All toes affected, or only the longest?

Heel contour: Svelte or bulbous, bone spurs/protrusions or not?

Known pronation/supination, or not?

Adequate foot support?

Does a shell fit reveal that you have more or less than 1 cm clearance?

 

'Pain' means different things to different people. Can you be more specific as to what you're experiencing?

 

 

It's both my feet, I ride regular and it's mainly around my pinky toe. The pain is not so much my toes are cold, but more so that they're being crushed. I feel as if they're lacking circulation after some time. 

[Suggestions for toe pains]

Hi Everyone, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! I'm excited to get on the slopes this season but something that has been bothering me for a while has been my boot comfort and I was hoping to get peoples suggestions, experiences, thoughts etc. 

Background is I currently have a mondo 27 Deeluxe 325T and they fit snug. They were snug before heat molding, especially around the toes (my left foot is ever so slightly larger than my right) so when I did my heat molding I wore my thickest socks and put on a toe cap. After a few seasons now of breaking in my boots, even with my thinnest socks I still get toe pain in my toe box area after half the day. To the point where I need to stop and let my toes recover for a bit before heading out for the second half of the day. 

I was hoping that things would get better, but I'm at the point where I'm open to all suggestions. New boots size 27.5? 28? New liner? Re-heatmolding? I'd appreciate any ideas people have or experiences they can share. Thanks!
