Boots, cannot find a tightness "sweetspot"

[EasySteezy45]

Alright guys, I got new boots last season or so. They are the dalbello krypton cross, with intuition liner.

I have had them heat molded and whatnot but I have been running into an issue.

I really like my feet locked in so I dont get any slop when im charging. Only problem is to get them tight enough I really need to HAMMER on the buckles to get them down, AND I have to unbuckle them when i get in line or my circulation feels like its getting cut off.

Anyone have any tips for getting a good fit with your boot? I want to be able to nose press without coming out of my boots. And yes they are the correct size, but I do have chicken legs.

On a side note, with all the technology that has come out can anyone legitimately say that their ski boots are ACTUALLY comfortable? My boots are pretty new, but, dang you would think they would figure out a way to make them comfy.

If you are looking for comfortable and snug, it should be easy to arrive at. Do you have custom footbeds in your boots? If you do not have a nice footbed, this is priority number one for you. Without a footbed, your flexible foot is allowed to flex and move inside the shell and no amount of buckles will stop that movement because the issue is not boot related but arch stability related. Stabilize your foot, and you will not need to crank your buckles down as much as you do.

If you do have footbeds and are cranking your boots down, are you sure you are in the proper volume/last for your foot?

If you are 100% sure you are in the right boot, then you need to assess how tight you want them and the consequences of a really tight fit. Comfortably snug and fully locked aren't the same thing, and you will have to make some sacrifices if you want fully locked, rather than comfortably snug.
