My shop recommended either the Head Formula 100 27.5 or S/Pro 100 26.5, The head boot has a little bit of toe room up front but I feel like if I put a footbed in there it would take up the space. The S/Pro fits my foot very tight not to the point wear it hurts, but I feels like I wouldn't be able to find a footbed cause of how clamped down on my foot the boot is, also afraid toe bang or something might happen with my toes against the end. Also I'm still growing the feet, and Ill need these for next season. Currently my boot has extreme heellift and is way too big are there some tests I can do with my foot in the boot to make sure it will work on snow/park 100%? Thanks, sorry for making it so long

Talk to your bootfitter about this!! As a side note, double check this but most shops nowadays offer free adjustments if you buy your boots from them along with some kind of 'fit guarantee'. If your shop does offer this, its always easier to make more room in a shell than remove it...

Even if your shop doesn't offer free adjustments, talk with your fitter and they can probably point you in the right direction by either offering new insight or allowing you to use a more 'generic' footbed in the boot to test it while in the shop.

Some footbeds will acctually pull your heel back/up a bit which makes the boot feel bigger in the toes. But yeah go to your bootfitter for sure, if you're still growing that can change how a fitter approaches your fit
