Uncomfortable Feet

OK, so I've been having this problem with my boots where the outside edge of my foot (mainly from the 6th toe forward) goes completely numb after about 15 minutes in the boot, it gets so bad to the point my feet cramp up really bad and are completely uncomfortable. Will punching out the side of the boot some help? Anyone have any opinions on the matter? I dont have a wide foot so I dont know if switching to a wider boot will help. The boots fit perfect otherwise, toes are on the front of the boot until flexed etc... Any help would be appreciated, can't afford another pair of boots.

don't switch your boots. you just have whack feet!! go to your local shop and have them do a 6th toe punch. that will give you the space you need

well if you dont have sixth toe then your boots sound like they may be a little too snug for you or there not wide enough. before buying new boots try getting new insoles or something that sometimes helps

do you have a high instep? theres a big blood vessel that runs down the top of yoru foot and if thats pushed its gonna cause your toes to go numb and freeze up

Get it punched out at a ski shop, then buy Superfeet footbeds.

no i dont have 6 toes haha... the area below your pinky toe is refered to as the "6th toe" the boots feel amazingly comfortable until the feet go numb...
