Snowboard boots/bindings?

So i have the problem that my ankles always almost slip out of my boots...
I already got some plastic thingies to put into the shoes so it is tighter on the ankle but i still slip out a bit when i'm on frontside and if i tie the boots tighter it just hurts and doesnt help..

Has anyone had similar problems? should i buy new boots or is there a better/easier way without searching for the narrowest boots i can find?

also i have flow center bindings and i'm not sure if normal bindings would be better cos i could tie them really tight around the ankle (would that make any difference?)?

The boot are too big volume wise. A boot should fit when barly done up so if you are moving with them done there is too much space. Unfortunately like ski boots there is not much you can do when boots are too big. But your best bet is to take them to a fitted have them shell checked and see if its worth keeping them or if you just needs new ones
