You have to break in new boots, they'll be form-fitting and cozy in no time

OP: you need proper fitting boots to start, tighten them to when they're are comfortable (too tight or loose is bad), and check if there is anything about your skiing that's contributing. Yeah, don't land backseat, and lean forward

this. the kid you quoted is the OP.....

the boots arent magically formed to your foot. it takes time and usage.  my mom got new boots a year or so ago and she always complained. took her awhile to break them in...

Damnit Yamanashi!

Heat fitted.

Get them heat fitted (properly, at a shop), they'll feel a lot more comfortable.

Also make sure you properly do up your boots.

You don't need new liners. Your boots come with the Pro Liner

Either get full tilts or make a tourniquet just below your knee to cut off all circulation.

Have them heat fitted.
Take them to where you bought them (assuming it's a store where you actually tried them on), and have the liner heat fitted to your foot.
Bring ski socks.
