I ended up with extra wide boots that were too loose on the rest of my feet....and made it hard to control the skis. The last time I rented was the last time I skied.
As said, I think a good bootfitter could easily address your issue. The boot needs enough material to be punched out there, yours may or may not, but the sales on new boots are coming . . .

My boots are canted, which is a necessity for me (bowlegged, duck footed, lower legs curved, flat arches, not symmetrical, skinny calves). Custom footbed. Left boot punched out at fifth metatarsal. Other than being hard to get in/out of, my boots fit and feel great. I still want to try a shim behind the liner cuff, to adjust forward lean a bit.
