MaimHelpadjust them tighter. When my boots are not all the way tightened I sometimes get toe bang
NikolaB73Thats likely it, my toes have more wiggle room than I feel they should. God damn intuition liner pack out so quick
MaimHelpYou have to downsize with intuition liners. They are going to feel super tight at first, but after like 10 days or a heat mold they fit perfect
Toonacutting your toenails might help if there long
percsThis problem has turned into a personal obsession of mine. After buying the most stiff full tilts and adding the 4mm forward lean inserts I skied good but started annihilating my toes. Its almost impossible to understand fully what's going on but I realize my big toes/tendon connected to the big toe go limp when I put my boots on if I don't have correct posture. This then cause them to jam in the front cause I have no way to flex my big toe/ keep the toe connected to my whole foot. I have good days where I don't hurt my toes and it seems to be related to how I start on my boots and get warmed up in them. I think this problem boils down to posture and how my walk gate is. I lost both toenails last season and both this season. I think its important to feel out your boots when you put them on and make sure there isn't restrictions.
Solution; I started putting a sock underneath my liner and it keeps my heel locked and engaged in the proper form. I also ski with my boots looser the first few runs and let them decide where they want to be before I strap them tighter. Overall I would focus on having freedom of whole body movement when your first put on your boots and don't be afraid to put extra socks or stuff under your liners to balance that feeling.

TimbyJust keep fucking it up and trying getting it frostnip, that’s what I did now I can’t feel my big toes. No pain, problem solved.
mrk127Ha that’s even worse advice than what I said ^. Frostnip and numb toes turns into frostbite. And I can attest, frostbite is fucking horrible

TimbyDid frostbite hurt or were your toes just super fucked up and discolored

galardogodfrost bite itself isn’t painful after a while but when you rewarm them it feels like you have pins going through your toes on all sides
mrk127Yes it was extremely painful, I had to keep my feet elevated 24/7 for like 2 weeks otherwise they would throb so bad and then it was constant pain for like 4 weeks. It Kept me out of wearing shoes and ski boots almost 2 months and I didn't even get it that bad compared to a lot of cases of frostbite
You're confusing frostnip and frostbite dumbass
