i play football and have been lifting for 2 yrs and i have huge calfs now my legs dont hurt when i ski
 
Try Tightening your boots a bit more,specifically the ankle buckle and upper foot buckle if you have a 4 buckle system, keep your power strap tight, don't listen to this guy talking about calfs, keep your boots tight, try adding an insole if the problem persists, and then go to a bootfitter is that doesnt work.
 
Dude, let me help you out. I had the SAME problem. My boots were a bit too big like yours, so I did a little bit of experimenting on them to save muneez by not getting a new pair. OK, watch Van Valen's 4FRNT Tech Talk video about boots. You'll get to get that foam material that he talks about. Just get it at Walmart in the sewing/crafts section (Does Canada have Walmart?, Not important, just get some foam rubber sheets at any craft store.) Now, when you get the foam rubber, you don't have to follow Valen's instructions EXACTLY, but at least put the foam "cut-outs" in the general area that he shows you. (Behind the shin and above the toe piece of the liner. Get Shoe Goo to glue it to the boot, it's a little pungent, but you get a little high off the fumes, so it gets kind of enjoyable about half way through the project. Also, what I did, because I had too much up and down motion going on, I got a 4 pack of those odor eater insert soles and glued 2 of them together in pairs so I had two like, double-think odor eaters and inserted them into the liner. So, not only did I get extra padding, I also got rid of some boot stank! So, in summation:1. Get foam rubber sheets2. Get Shoe Goo for all the gluing involved in the process3. Watch https://www.newschoolers.com/web/content/tvchannel/id/4770/t/Tech+Talk+Thursdays/4. Do your own thing by cutting out the foam the way that's the most comfortable and "room-filling" to your over-sized boot5. Get four odor eater pads and glue (shoe goo) two of them together to get a double thick insert and put it in your boot.6. Let the glue in everything dry overnight BEFORE you put the boot pad back inside the "hard boot"7. Put everything together the next day and see where you need more padding/ see where you might need to take a little out.
If you need some more help bro, feel free to pm me. I know it's rough being low on cash, yet still trying to keep that steeze. I hope this helps.
 
That just seems too fucking complicated. I recommend just going to a real boot fitter at a local ski shop and they can help you out Properly...
 
yeah i watched tech talk boot episode but i was having one problem, is the size of the part u cut , i dont wanna make it too short or too long that what complicating the thing maybe u know how to size it depending of your feet
 
Ok, here are some pics. Yes, I know! I used Ugg Emu boots for the pics as a model and cardboard instead of the actual foam rubber, but it was easier that stripping my boot apart and all that stuff. But it doesn't matter, because you'll get what I'm talking about. . .

Ok, so now that you actually have somewhat of a visual view, the odor eaters CAN be glued together for double the thickness to fill up more room, but you can just use one in each liner if it's more comfortable. Also, on the heel piece, if you need a wider or taller rectangular shape than this one, go for it. Let me emphasize that this worked pretty well for MY Salomon boots, but mine are quad clamps, not duals like the SPK. The good thing about Shoe Goo is, if you need to rip out a pad for some reason, it's kind of like rubber cement, so it's not a really big issue. Anyway, hope this helps a little more.
