Some advice on Boots please

Hello all

I am struggling to find a suitable pair of snowboard boots - I have a set of Malamuts (salamon) from a few years ago that I love but that are falling apart. I have bought a pair of K2 Mysis with a Boa that I cannot wear - the issue is that there is no zone lock on these boots and the boa tightens the boots too much across my foot where I have a nerve that gets pinched (neuroma) - so I have worn them twice and they now sit alongside a pair of northwaves that I bought after that I also used twice and then found were not suited to me - both sets by the way felt great in the shop.

So I have a narrow calf and a narrow foot for its length with a high arch. So I find boots that are the right length difficult to tighten, I also need the zone lock as I cannot tighten the bottom part of my boot too much without pinching the nerve. My original Malamuts were awesome as they have an internal heel strap (best invention ever - why every boot does not have this I do not know - keeps your heel locked down without having to tighten the boots excessively) and zone lock - however on the new Malamuts they have done away with the zone lock - they have one lace that tightens both the lower and the upper part of the boot. So I am scared I am going to have the same issue as with the Maysis boots. So far I have wasted about $600 on boots I cannot use.

Anyone know of a boot that has zone locking and the internal heel strap? (for some reason all the Salamon boots have either or)
