The front of the liner should only be touched by your toes, like a feather dusting your nose. If it’s got any pressure pushing back against the inside of your foot, you’re not doing it right. If your toes don’t touch, your heel is too far forward, and your arch isn’t deep enough.
Your arch needs to be at least an inch or two deeper than it is now, or you’ll be arching too much, which will make it hard for you to walk. It’s also a good idea to make sure that your heels are touching the ground when you walk, so that you can keep the arch in the right place.

Should ski boots be as tight as possible?
If your boot moves with your foot, your ski will move with it and you will not be able to ski as well as you would like. If you are going to use a ski boot, make sure that you have a good pair of skis and boots that will allow you to get the most out of them.
How do you know if your ski boots are too loose?
If you’re wearing an unbuckled boot, your toes might feel a little jammed up against the front of the boot. When the boot is buckled and you stand with your knees flexed, your toes should come away from the front as your heel moves forward. If they don’t, it’s time for a new pair of boots.
Are ski boots supposed to hurt shins?
The anterior shin pain that occurs in skiers and boarders is called boot or shin bang. As pressure is applied to the area, this hurts. Shoes that have too much cushioning in them. Shoe soles that rub against each other when you walk or run. Skating shoes that don’t have a good fit between the upper and the lower part of the foot.
Why do the bottom of my feet hurt when skiing?
The overexertion of the muscles on the bottom of your foot can cause your feet to ache after skiing. It’s also a problem with the fit of your ski boots.
What is ski boot syndrome?
The extensor tendons and peroneal nerve can be compressed at the ankle by the tongue of the ski boot. An anterior compartment syndrome could be mimicked by the resulting neuritis and synovitis. The paresthesiae may stay for a long period of time.
Do ski boots hurt at first?
Too many people come out of old ski boots that are so packed out that they have to max out the buckles to get a snug fit. Then, out of habit, they put their new boots in the same way. This will almost guarantee to cause pain after a few hours. Buckle the boots looser than you think is necessary.
If you don’t have a ski boot that fits you well, you can always buy a new one. But, if you do, make sure that it fits snugly. If it’s too loose, it won’t be able to support your weight, and you’ll end up with a painful boot.
