Alpina BC 2050 Backcountry Boot
Painful, but your mileage might vary

My wife and I each bought a pair of these on the basis of the wonderful reviews focusing on how comfortable they are. They felt very comfortable when we first put them on, but they were very painful (around the ankles) when skiing. I wish we had experienced the high level of comfort that the other skiers did because these are well-made boots with great ankle support. But, in our case, it was precisely that superior ankle support that made them painful.
I encourage you to try these boots. If the ankle support works well for you, I'm sure you will be very happy with them.

Did you try adjusting the length of the ankle strap? Mine were uncomfortable - verging on painful until I adjusted the velcro at the end of the ankle stap. Hope this helps
