Replying to Boot Buttering Problem, Please Help

Imagination:

Alright right guys, I'm asking for help because every day I am skiing, I always do butters and jibs, presses, and taps and a bunch of other all-mountain jibbing stuff, which I find really fun and don't have a problem doing. However, every time I do this my ankles end up hurting and I get shin bang and ultimately I don't have as much fun and I can't butter. So I was wondering if it's my boots or just the way I am buttering. You see;

I am 5'2" and about 100-105 lbs and do mainly All-mountain jibbing when I get these problems

I have the 07-08 Rossignol blast boots, which are pretty worn out, but are my size (26.5) However, I have relatively skinny, runners calves and medium-narrow feet.

Oh, and I am already aware of bootfitters, but I do not know of many in the Connecticut area and it will be abut 1-2 months efore I could even go, so I want some help from you guys.

Thanks alot, and +K for help as to the cause of my problem and how I could fix it, As I think it may be that my boots do not fit me and do not have a soft enough flex.
