Ski boots too small?

I have a pair of boots that are fitted to my skis and i just grew out of the boots and their barely too small and i also have another pair of boots which are a little bit too big and also much hevier. Should I just ride out the season in the small boots and get a new set up next year or resize my bindings to the bigger boots.

I would say a little too small is better than a little too big.

If your slamming your toes in the front of the small boots on landings it's gonna be a brutal season of pain. If you're in too long a boot it's gonna be a sloppy season with poor control of the skis . Both sound like a lose lose situation.

Go in and get your "slightly too small" liners packed out. It could help you from toe bang, and prevent you from changing boots completely. Go see a boot fitter (ugh I know) and see what they have to say on modding your boots to fit you well again.

sell both pairs of boots and get a pair that fits right?

Get some footbeds and bootwork done and watch those slighty too small boots become the slightly perfect boot!

This - assuming they fit prior - get some footbeds and get the toes punched. They will likely fit better then before.

True , having them stretched and toe punched out could be a fix for the small / tight ones .
