Manufacturers now build high-performance and racing boots in a variety of lasts (93 to 105mm) and some custom boot makers offer models that are even wider. A good boot fitter will ensure the boots' last size matches the width of your foot. Going up a size is no solution. Getting the right last size is.
In addition, are mens ski boots wider than women's? Plenty of women have wide feet; therefore some models of women's ski boots are available in widths up to 106mm wide, which is the same width available in men's ski boots. The difference is that women generally have a narrower heel and ankle than men do.

Bottom Line.
Why do my feet go numb in my ski boots?
A common cause of boot compression is when the boot is actually too big and people do up the instep buckle too hard to secure the foot. All this does is to apply pressure to the top of the foot where the nerves and blood vessels run, causing numbness and a lack of circulation.

Your toes should indeed be touching the end of the ski boot when you first put it on. It might even feel half a size too small. You should feel a little pressure release and get a bit of room for your toes as you buckle the ski boot up and flex forward with your knees over your toes.
A softer flex is generally desired for the beginner skier, who is still learning the technique of applying pressure into the front of the boot. A softer flex may also be appropriate for a freestyle skier, or a person of lighter weight. As a general rule, softer boots will be easier to get on and off than stiffer boots.
In order for the boots to transfer forces well, they have to be stiff and restrict the movement in your ankles. ... Also, because ski boots are stiff, tight, and restricting, this can make badly fitted ski boots very uncomfortable. It is important to find the right boot for you and to have the ski boots fitted properly.
There are multiple factors to consider to stop cramping or a burning sensation under the arch of your foot in your ski boots. One could be that you are in the wrong size boot. ... Typically, when the boot is too big you end up clawing your feet to try and secure yourself and gain control, which can often cause cramping.
To determine your ski boot size, get a friend to trace your foot on to the piece of cardboard or paper while you are standing on it. Then take the tape measure and measure from the tip of the foot to the heel. This measurement will be used to determine your boot size.
A good fitting boot should be comfortably snug and not sloppy. You should be able to wiggle your toes but not have heel slippage or movement from side to side or forward to back. Be aware that boots come in widths from 95-106mm wide.
