Tech 10 Bootie Brace Rubbing Inner Ankles

I've ridden with SG12s for several years and wanted to try some Tech 10s. I'm a 10.5 in Vans and originally got the 11. Even though the boot felt comfortable, the shell felt pretty oversized. Went to a local shop and picked up a size 10 and I like the snug fit a lot more and it's a lot less bulky. I haven't had a chance to ride with them yet but wearing both sizes around the house I noticed the bottom rivet of the inner brace of the bootie is pushing into the lower part of my ankle hard, almost like it's bruising it. Has anyone else experienced this and is this something that gets better as the boot breaks in? Side note, I took the bootie out to see if the snug fit was from the bootie or the shell--the bootie is snug on my foot and the shell is oversized without the bootie in it, so I think the sizing is correct. Any insights or tips would be much appreciated so I know whether I should take them to the track or return them. Thanks!
