Hi there.
Please excuse the ugly foot picture that I attached for reference. This is what my feet look like after 30 minutes on the ice. I am currently trying out a pair of Edea Ice Flies (E width) and ALL my toes are going numb. I already have a wide width shoe and have had the toe box punched out and stretched. There is room around the toes inside the toebox. I tie the laces in the Edea fashion, and have to tie them very tight over the instep to avoid heel slippage on the right foot especially (right foot is shorter), even to the point where it is hard to bend. I have tried to figure out what is causing this numbness because the toe box doesn't feel excessively tight, but looking at the picture of the foot, it does appear the circulation is being cut off somehow... I am asking anyone who has experienced this - what were your solutions to this issue? Thanks in advance.
