ELI5: Why haven't we made ski boots that don't hurt yet?

Normal shoes will adapt to your feet after a while. Ski boots shouldn't adapt, they should brace your foot. 

You can get the inner shoe shaped to fit your foot. it costs like $300-500.

But a far cheaper thing that people don't know about is that you can take your boot to a (good) ski shop and they can stretch your off-the-shelf boot where it hurts your foot. About half an inch or so.  It's usually like $30-80. It works out great for many people. 

Edit: but they ski boots are not as bad as they used to be, right?
