High volume boots

bought a pair of 26.5 full tilt TW pros last year, they felt great in the store, got the liners heat molded and everything. But they give me horrible cramps every time I try to ski in them ( I think because the shell is too low volume right at the ankle). Anybody know a boot with a high volume right at the ankle/top of arch?

What does "everything" mean?

Were you put in the bare shell to check if it is the right size for you?

Did you get custom footbeds?

Yeah sorry should have been more specific, I got measured and also tried just the shell and was told it was just the right size. Then I got a set of custom footbeds and had the liners fully heat molded.

It's not the boot it's the footbeds. You have to get used to them. Put them in your regular shoes for a few hours over the next few weeks. I had a tough time skiing mine right away. I have a super high arch and was not used to having something under it.

I always get some cramps at the beginning of the season but they go away in a couple weeks, feet just getting used to boots again I guess

I have the same issue and my foot measures 106mm wide which makes it tough. Definitely get a custom footbed and talk w a boot fitter. I went by 3 or 4 shops to get various opinions. Another reason to go by multiple shops, is most shops only recommend a boot that they currently have available to sell.
