If you buy a footbed liner it should increase the boot size by about half a size so maybe that would work for you.

you bought your boots in the comfortable size then the liner foam expanded after skiing to make them to big. you probably going to have to get smaller boots if your boots are really too big. most shops are cool about returns on boots.

Thats exactly how my boats felt after this weekend, they are cruddy Rossignol Exhalts though. At first i was banging my toes and so i tightened them and then they were squezzing the side and top of my feet really bad.

good luck man, but i think you are screwed, i did the same thing and suffered all last season, excepts i didnt ever get to try them on before i ordered them cause there is NOT A SINGLE boot fitter where i live, a few months ago i sold them for what i could and when i was in the lower 48 got a pair of boots from a good fitter, its the only way to go

you hav to find ways to fill the space with foam and shit. Unfortunatley most people dont kno that the spk boot is wide as fuck and actually a terrible fitting boot. A lot of people have to use heel lifts to fill space as well as custom insoles. good luck man shits not easy to fix.
