ok i got some full tilt high five boots today and i got them mold and stuff.
ok so when i stand straight up my toes hit the front considerably. but not hurting. when i lean forward it doesnt hit the front it doesnt really touch the front(maby a little).

is this the proper boot fit? if not then the liner will pack out a litle and should be good?
i search barred it and nothing about this came up. but sorry if its a repost. which i know proboley is

My bootfitter told me that when standing straight up, my toes should be touching/maybe even kinda pushed by the front of the boot, but once i lean forward like I would skiing, my toes should pull back and they should just barely touch the front. So if he's right, then you got yourself a good fit.

my full tilts fit the same way which is good.

did you buckle the boots up corretly?

middle buckle
flex few times (get your heel in the heel pocket)
bottom buckle
top buckle
power strap

I thought the correct way was top buckle semi tight, flex for heel pocket, while flexing middle buckle then bottom buckle and finally top and power strap?

A great way to make a boot feel shorter and minimize travel of the foot is superfeet or some other arch bed.

your boots are the correct size. this is the tightest they will ever feel and they will only get bigger.
