Boots..

So i have pretty messed up feet, really high arches so i have like a pointy bone on the top of my foot above my arch which gives me pain on every boot ive tried on thus far..

I know boots are all about personal fit, but Im just wondering if anyone else has feet of a similar shape to this and have had any success finding boots that have a particularly high cut and dont press in that area?

Im aware you can get boots heat molded, but i tried that on my current ones (k2 t1's) and it didn't help much. Went to my local store the other day and tried on a stack, best fitting were probably the burton slx's but i could still feel it, and dont much want to drop that sort of money if it doesnt fit perfectly..

So yeah if anyone could help out would much appreciate it..

I feel your pain brother.  My feet aren't the exact same, but they've got issues.  Like the left seems to be slightly bigger than the right (by a half size) and my big toes point up.  What company will sell one 12.5 and one 13?  Hell, I might check those burton 6's out.

I was saying the "B" word because scott had said those fit him the best outta all the ones he'd tried on.   I like my burton hails, but they still don't fit me perfect.  You do have to try on a bunch of pair to find the right fit...I was just suggesting that if he'd found something close to maybe give them a try if the price was right.  Word?

I have, ive tried on pretty much the entire store at this point. Its not under my foot that bothers me, its the pressure thats on the top of my foot as a result of my high arch.

Im not going to get custom foot beds because then i will lose even more room inside the boot and the pressure on the top of my foot will get worse.

Thats fine I just thought some people might have a similar situation and could point me in the right direction, cheers anyway

I misunderstood the problem, pressure from the top is a different kettle of fish.. custom insoles won't really help.

I'll go with 2zz's comment and say go for some softer boots, I'll also suggest laceup boots which give you more control with the fit. Your local store should be able to give you suggestions aswell, if they are not helpful try another store.

Unfortunately I think there are not many people who suffer from top of the foot pain, you'll have to experiment and see what works best. Also try thin socks..

Lastly, do you have this problem with regular sport shoes aswell?

Yeah ive tried "silk blend" socks if thats what you mean, helped but nothing significant.

He did a bit of heat molding for me in the store, it felt pretty good at first, but then 10 minutes later the pain was back? :S

I dno it just sucks haha, makes the afternoons really crap

Nah no problem with regular sports shoes, every now and then come across a pair that suck, but mostly okay.

Giving the lower section a bit of slack doesnt seem to help at all strangely enough..

Its not from my bindings as just putting boots on and walking around gives me issues, kinda frustrating ha.
