Toe Bang?

I'm not even sure what to call it so I will just call it toe bang. Anyways, I am trying to get your opinion on what is going on in my boots, well more specifically my right boot. Every time I go skiing and actually ski hard all day(never leave the terrain park) I always end up with a sore big toe. What I am wondering is should I get new boots or a new liner? I'm not sure if this is a Full Tilt thing or what but for my toes sake I really need to figure something out. +K for all the help! Thanks.

Quit landing backseat or buy spks. Both will solve your problem

Two things come to mind,
1. I know the whole back seat thing has been said but this can cause the foot to shift forward in the boot. This leads to the second issue.
2. boots are too big. You foot is shifting forward in the boot thus too much room. If you have had the boots fitted it might be time for a re-look. The liners could have packed out and are not holding in the boot correctly. Check out a new liner or some foot beds to take up some volume and keep that foot in place.

I guess I should have specified that it isn't my whole toe that is getting toe bang but just nail of my toe is what is getting "toe bang"

like I said to the other guy it is my nail that is getting the toe bang not the whole toe itself and 9/10 I am landing my tricks backwards than I am forwards so there really isn't any backseat landing going on.

Flat landings will do it too. Sounds like a combination of the three problems mentioned so far.
