I posted part of this year and but for my inability to search for the damn thing I have had to type it out again.
Skied from 21 -28 in hired and owned boots with no problems. Like many had to pack it in with the arrival of little Scarlet Fez's for 16 years and have been fortunate to get back into it the last 5 years and have been 7 times since my return. Here lies the problem, started the first year hired boots, then bought my own Boots from Bartlets in Hillingdon and Terry the fitter has spend ages to address my problem, and I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone who wants their boots properly fitted.
My problem every year is and you can not replicate if before you go away. Boots fit and feel fantastic for 2-3 hours then the pain from hell starts to arrive. Only my right foot and the pain seems to emulate from underneath and to the centre of my foot. I have now realised that when it starts I have to dash ahead of my friends, get the boot off and get circulation going again. Job done for little while longer. Get into the habit that everytime we have a break boot off etc.
Before I started skiing again I had an operation on the same foot to address a bunion to the side of my big toe. This naturally causes me to when I am on the balls of my feet, the weight on the right foot seems to be centred more towards the next toe where pain seems to originate from. I have tried moulded foot insoles etc but with no difference. I mentioned the problem to a foot specialist in a running shop and he stated that it sounded like Mortons neuroma.Is there anyone out there that could give advise on this or even a possible remedy I would be most gratefull.I may have not made myself very clear but if you have suffered it you will know what I mean.

You need a clinical diagnosis. Any foot specialist will quickly identify the problem and give you a choice of solutions.

Hopefully there is something that can be suggested. Perhaps its just about pain tolerance but it seems to get more managable the longer the ski week goes on.
