Ski Boot sizing question?

So last winter I picked up some Dalbello Krypton with my tax return... They fit pretty damn well. They were extremely tight in the shop, but as expected they did pack out and they fit quite well now.

The only problem area is in the toe box area. It is a touch tight through that area. Not much, but it would be more comfortable if there was a little bit extra room. Is there anything that can be done?

Also, how much would it be to have something like that tweaked by a shop?

Thanks in advance. I am really not familiar with that sort of stuff at all.

Go talk to a custom bootfitter, if there is one where you live. They will if necessary, punch out the plastic to make it fit better.
It will probably cost you $$$$$, but I'm not sure.
Even so, talk to your shop, they would know more locally.

Do you have any strage things goin on with your foot? calcium deposts or 6th toe type stuff?
Excessive pronation?
Do you run a footbed like superfeet?
And try a lower volume sock id say

I wish I had a 6th toe. it'd be amazing.

Haha, no weird stuff. No footbed, although I do run a gel Dr-Scholls that feels like jesus on my feet bottoms, and it's thinner than the original footbed. Socks are very thin socks.
