Nike Zoom Force hurts my ankle

I have a pair of Nike Zoom Force, yesterday was the 2nd time I rode in them.
They're definitely more comfortable than the 1st time, I think they're starting to pack out a bit and mold to my feet.
My right foot (the rear foot) feels awesome~
But after a few runs, my left foot started to go numb in my toes. Then by mid day, the spots where the ankle bulges in the liner starts to really hurt.
Are the bulges cutting the blood flow from my ankle to my toes? What can I do to fix this problem?

Extended periods of numbness can lead to permanent nerve damage. I suggest custom insoles and heat molding your boots. The liner of your boots is made out of a material that can be put in an over or heated up at your local shop then molded to your foot and lower shins.

dooooood, I have the exact same problem as you regarding the ankle area but on my right foot. I think it is the bulge where the tightening system for the inner bootie is wedged between the shell of the boot and my foot. I think this is a design flaw on this particular boot because the loop for the laces that is pressing against me is causing the pain. This is a great forum to know that I'm not the only one suffering from this problem :D
