Boots packing out

I have between 50-75 days on my boots, salomon impact 10, with the stock salomon moldable liner.
They fit well, about 1 1/2 finger shell fit, but my most recent ski day i felt like my feet were moving around quite a bit, and getting pain in the arch/ball of the foot like the boots are too big, but when i tightened them down, they would just hurt some of the bad pressure points i get.
They were fit by a bootfitter.

What can i do? buy intuitions? i've heard intuitions pack out pretty fast, too

thanks

Sounds like you may not have footbeds in your boot? If not, get them. The will stop the natural movement in your flexible foot (which also leads to a liner breaking down too quickly for future reference). New Intuition liners do not break down as quickly as old ones, so if you need an aftermarket liner, they do have some good options. BUT always get a footbed first and solve the problem from the start.

Thats probably your problem, if its just a TTF superfeet go get a custom insole. Superfeet korks are ok but conformable are genrally way better. They will fill up the medial arch much better and support the foot in a neutral postion making the boots fit more secruly. They will also probably raise your instep some which will help with the fit. It may also be worth having your shell remoulded too, if you had it custom fitted when new.
