so obviously you guys arent bootfitters, or rather you cant fit boots for me over the internet, but i have a problem, and its painful. when i try to butter my chronics, my heels move around, and i just noticed this. i have some atomic b-series boots. i don have a really wide foot, but it isnt super narrow. also, my ankle is very skinny, and i have fat calves. so i cant really buckle the lower of the 2 upper boot buckles to a good tightness, and i always find that if i do it tight, my calf is like dieing at the end because its too tight at the top. also, when my heels move around, i get to this point above my heel, like near the achilles tendon, where its an extreme pain. when i get my foot flat in the boot, it dont hurt no more. what brands for boots should i be looking at, or should i just get a heat moldable liner?

forgot to add that i really like the spk design of boots, but keep hearing that spk's are narrow.

you can also just go into a bootfitter (or do it on your own) and get some additional padding on either side of your achilles to help prevent heel lift. Its a lot cheaper than new liners or new boots, might wanna give it a try before anything else.

before you buy new boots you should take them to a boot fitter and ask if they can put some inserts (not foot beds) that go in the shell under your liners.. i have some and the are made out of this cardboard wood material... these inserts will help raise and elevate our foot to eliminate that gap of space where your ankle is.. then i would get some custom heat molded foot beds if you have the money but a cheaper way is just to get a pair of super feet(i have these and they help a lot by giving me arch in my foot) if you have any other questions just pm me...
