throw them away, buy different boots

But I just spent my entire annual boot budget on them

I got a similar problem with my malleoli, you could try keeping upper string little loose and using a different kind of socks

>>1041819
cut off your foot

well that was a bad decision, wasn't it?

There's several different ways to lace hiking boots. Have you tried them? There are some good videos out there.

Check if the "flap" is somehow bent over itself or wrinkled. And lace the boots in a different way.

Try to remove the sole, if it's detachable. It might give more room for the shoe.

OP i found I had this exact same problem when I went to Nepal in my current hiking shoes. I was extremely worried because we were trekking that day and my foot was still sore on top.

I looked online and saw recommendations to try ladder lacing, and it worked great. So now I only have my right shoe laced that way but I haven't had a problem since I switched lacing styles.

give it a go and if it doesn't work, new boots.
