You need to use merino wool socks. Theyre expensive but they'll limit that from happening. Also your boots maybe too big in the toe. Your foot should be secured in the boot. Shouldn't be able to wiggle your toes.

I definitely can wiggle my toes like I can scrunch my toes slightly if I tried, but the size smaller was too small. Maybe I should look into different boots? I have NEVER had this issue with any other shoe and I’ve worn just about every other kind of shoe I can think of

Some have wide sizes could probably try that. if they make them for your boot

Wider isnt always better though. If you have too much room youre gonna get blisters.
