Ski boots for high instep?

Yesterday I bought some rampages, but when I got home and wore them for more than 5-10 min I notice I had a lot of preessure right on the top of my foot, back towards my ankle, it makes my toes go a little numb.  But I know that I have a high instep.  So is there any boots that I should look into trying for my foot type?

Man, didn't the shop tell you that your boots are known for being thin and having a low instep? Did you get them fitted? If no, why not? Anyways, take them back, you won't have fun skiing with numb toes. Tell them your problem and they should be able to help you.

I didn't notice with the short time I had them on in the store. 

And I really don't know where to go to get boots properly fitted.  At rei they just asked me what sizes i wanted to try and asked me if they were kinda tight, but uh not too tight.  This place was better, but they still only measured the length of my foot, and asked me if there were any pressure points. 
There's one other store that i haven't been to that i'll go check out i guess
