Uhhhhhh.........boots hurt. LOL.
Pain is unique to most people's individual anatomy, so I am not a fan of the answers everyone comes up with. That said, the earlier thread on Mortons seemed to produce some good info.
So absent of good advice. will just share the funny story of the 1st At boots me and my #1 partner bought in 1985. They were Koflach with a pathetic tour/ski mode set up that was simply a plastic part that would be out if walking and in if skiing. It had a mind of it's own.
Yet funnier, was our nickname for the boots.........the pain machines.

Boots can be a challenge to dial in.. If you don't have a perfectly flat, narrow foot that is free of bony protrusions then you'll likely need to do a couple rounds of work on them. Actually, even with a perfect foot, some adjustment with fore and aft height can make a world of difference.
I, unfortunately, have to modify my boots so heavily that they barely resemble the original product. With that, I have had many sessions with various boot fitters in WA, CO and UT. The most highly skilled boot fitter I've found is Jim, at 'custom boot service' in seattle. I recommend letting him figure out what your boot issues are, and providing the fix. It's worth it to go to the best.
