Replying to Too much toe bang

I have the full tilt drop kicks from last year and last year I suffered some nasty toe bang. I dealt with it anyways and my toenails came of, etc. I had the shop punch out the sides because they weren't fitting my feet properly and they told me that I should just not land backseat to prevent toe bang. I was in pain for the rest of the season but assumed they won't hurt once they heal. Yesterday I skied for the first time this season a solid 12 hours. Within about two or three hours my toe bang had come back pretty bad. I realized that my boots were way too loose but I tightened them up pretty damn tight and then I was pretty much good except for the occasional backseat landing or any flat landings. They still did hurt like a bitch all the time though. My question is are my boots too small or can I get the toe box punched out a little for more toe room? I did notice that having the boots tighter greatly reduced the amount of times that I bashed my toes.
