Wrap style liner vs tongue style liner / boot problem

I have a pair of Rossignol All track 130 ski boots, I have been enjoying the boot but after about 40 days on them so far I am starting to experience some problems.

1. Unsure how tight i want the boots. I don't know if I want them loose or tight does anyone have any tips?.

2. Starting to get really bad pressure points on the outside of my foot, generally the tighter i have the bottom to buckles the better my foot feels.

3. Really bad shin bang from the jumps.

I've been told full tilts are awesome boots but when I went to get my boots fitted I was told that my foot is to wide for full tilts. I was wondering if I purchased a intuition wrap line that possibly some of these problems might be solved. Those liners look incredibly comfortable and I really need a pair of boots that isn't painful to ski in. Also is it even possible to fit wrap liners in traditional style boots rather than the 3 piece design of full tilts?

k+ for help.

We have a great thread you can use for a future resource:
https://www.newschoolers.com/forum/thread/768122/The-Official---What-is-wrong-with-my-boots---Thread

The most important questions to start this off are:

Do you currently have a proper custom footbed in your boot?

Are you in the right shell size? Tell us how much space is behind your heel. (How to find out is talked about numerous times in the thread)

Yeah exactly. That all track is a big volume boot. I imagine the issue is you do have any footbeds so your foot is pronating causing the pain on the outside and te shin pain is simply the boot being a bit big. Those all tracks have a high instep too so it may partly be down to your foot pronating, which drops the instep which is leaving you not matching the instep profile.

I do not own a custom footbed, but the shop offers an $80 footbed fitting after purchasing boots from them, Could this resolve some issues? I do have room behind my heal i think, sometimes when I 180 and have to much forward pressure landing switch my heal rises up causing some friction along the inner.

Footbeds should always be a first call with boot issues. $80 is pretty cheap though, what type are they making? Try to avoid super feet and surefoot and if you can get a custom sidas made by a good boot fitter.
