HELP with my boots

so ive got technica icons and i really like the boot except for one or two things. It hurts the bottom of my feet A LOT after a little bit. It seems to be in the arch of my feet and it deoesnt go away until i get on the lift where im not putting any weight on my feet. Any recommendations for what i can do about his without spending like 150 bucks.

Another minor problem is that sometimes it feels like the circulation in my feet is being cut off. Boots are supposed to be tight so i put em on nice and snug usually to start out but then my feet start hurting a bit so i loosen them and it feels as if all the blood flows back into my feet. Ive got booster straps too if that has anything to do with this. No shin pain tho which is good.

well about the arch support part, i didnt feel like dropping 100 on custom footbeds so i got superfeet, which are really nice too, and cost like 35 bucks

my friend had the same problem. go to a ski shop and talk to them, they will recommend new insoles and tell you which ones are the best for you.

but yea it got to the point where it hurt so bad i pretty much enjoyed falling to take some pressure off my feet. Waiting in lift lines was also unbearable. then the next day i decided to sack it up and yea....not fun

Make sure that if you have overlapping layers of clothing in your boots (like long underwear on top of socks) that it lays perfectly flat before you tighten your boot down. Every now and then I have problems and it is always because the bottom of my long underwear rolled up and created a pressure area that cuts off the circulation.
