Thanks for all the feedback.
Jax - the tightness is across the top of my foot, the sides seem ok. I bought some new boots and tried them on in my home and after 10 minutes my foot was really hurting. In fact it seemed worst than I remembered the original boots.
Kelemvor - I have thought about stretching the pocket athough the nova doesn't seem to have much give. I'm not sure if I would mess it up with no real gain.
Oly/shurite - I've opened the cover but only on one side but it looks fixed ie non adjustable. I will look into the strap a bit more. You could be onto something as it does feel as though the pain would be releived if my foot wasn't push as far into the fin.
Underh20man - I think I might of got it wrong on the thickness. This is the exact boot I had first.
Typhoon 5mm Surfmaster Dive Boot
And this is the new pair I just bought.
Scubapro Delta Short Diving Boot 5mm
Skulmoski - I think your right there, I am a total novice and before I bought the novas I used to wear full foot mares Volo race fins with no issue. The foot pocket was very soft and flexible.
