Boot causing ankle pain/burning

I was planning on buying these boots off a friend so he let me try them out for the day. After about a half hour I felt a burning feeling in both legs/feet but continued on. About an hour after that the pain became much more severe and was very hard for me to continue. After I took them off my ankles were in extreme pain and I couldnt even walk. Was this because the boots were heat molded to his feet or the boot itself. Im getting these for a steal so I really want to figure this out. Will reheatmolding them solve my problem? They're in my size and have a good fit but using them for a decent amount of time has became a problem. Im really hoping that getting them reheatmolded will fix this problem please give me some advice. Thanks

A boot fitter can answer all of your questions.

They aren't your boots.

heat molding them wont do shit, dont buy the boots, go to a shop work with a boot fitter.

It might not be this simple but mine burn when my boots are to tight so loosen them?

canting. which is the angle of the cuff, is most likely the issue.
tough to get right without bootfitter tools

your ankle may also just not be the right shape to fit in the heel pocket of the boot correctly, but that may be fixable. If your ankle is too high you will feel the burning sensation and pressure on the top of the ankle bones, if its too low it will be on the bottom. too high is hard too fix, I had to get custom footbeds made that were super thin under the heel to lower my ankle in the boot. too low is easier and can probably be fixed with heel wedges.

either way bring the boots to a boot fitter and tell them whats up, either you'll get the boots for a steal but then have to pay a little extra for the fitter to make them work. Or they will tell you they aren't worth your time and then you won't waste any money.
