SCOOBY52, OT: What on earth did you do so your boots no longer fit you? Injury? Trauma?

If it's just that the liners have packed out but the shells are a good fit you could consider just replacing the liner.

Try a shell-fit. The first thing that should happen when you're trying on a ski boot is a shell-fit. To do this, take the liner out of the shell (often more difficult than it looks) and slide your foot (with a thin sock) into the plastic shell only. With the boot on the floor, slowly slide you foot forward until you are just touching the end of the boot with your toes. With your foot in this position reach your hand behind your heel to the space between your foot and the back of the boot; you should have no more than two fingers (about 1 ¼ inches) of space there. Any more than this and the boot will actually be too big for you.
Here is where an experienced fitter can help you because if you ski more than 40 or 50 days a year, you probably want to go smaller than a two-finger or “comfort fit” into a one-finger or “performance fit.”

SCOOBY52, Take them to a local bootfitter as they might be able to expand toe section of boot. I had that done a few years ago with a pair of boots that were giving me trouble. I now have Strolz boots and have never had any issues at all
