Flow Talon Focus too tight initially, will it pack out ?

Hi all,
My regular shoes are either 9.5 or 10, to be honest some of the 10's seem somewhat large, but still comfortable.
I have just received my Talon Focus size 10, put in thick wool socks (which I normally use for snowboarding, shall I buy "snowboard specific" socks ?) and put in the boots.....they seem too tight !
It's the 1st time I am trying such stiff boots, so I am unsure if they will pack out eventually...
How do you guys compare the size of your regular shoes with the snowboard boots ? Do you usually buy larger ? same size ?
My toes touch the liner without much pressure, my heels seem OK, but the top of the foot seems too compressed, I indeed felt some numbness and throbbing after half an hour stuck watching TV,
Am I bothering too much ? Trying size 10.5 isn't easy as I have to mail order them, they are not available in a retailer in my area,
On a side note, I have bought Flow NX2 GT Large bindings to go with them, in case I go with the 10.5 boots, should I change the bindings to XL ? According to Flow's website 10.5 is right in the middle,
I do have a pair of DC Travis boots size 10 which I have used a few times, they seem fine but are too flexible, that's why I want the stiffest and more responsive Talon Focus, but I am unsure how it will eventually pack out - or not, as it's too stiff.
Thanks a lot,
Mongao
