Wear a size 11 shoe across the board bought some new Boston Boost Shoes but toe box feels a little sloppy running in the toe box.
Have about a thumbs width of space which is normal and shoe is narrow not sure what the deal is tried heel lock lacing and tightening tighter but it doesnt look the foot/toes in.
Anyone have any suggestions? Hate to put in new insoles to add weight.
Your shoes shouldn't feel tight in the toebox. That can cause all sorts of foot problems. A snug midfoot and locked-in heel are optimal, but the toebox should have some room for your toes to splay out. If you want, go a half size down.

Is there a lacing technique to lock in the forefoot? Just feels like a lot of room I run in the Tempo 9 and its a more snug fit.
The Tempo has overlays that reduce the give of the toebox. The Boston 6 has a secure fit, even if the toebox feels accomodating. Once you get used to it, it shouldn't give you any trouble.
Boston 6 definitely feels looser than boston 5. Boston 6 is much more comfortable, but I felt faster in Boston 5. I am also getting older though.

Try using a "star" lacing pattern. I believe it was invented by ON to be used in their Cloudflyer shoe, but you can probably use it in other shoes too.

You're right. I was shopping on the site for the last time, called yeezy350.
The bottom and the shoe itself are a good combination. Which site looks like: shoeslooks.xyz
If there is no lace holes forward of the midfoot how the heck do you expect some lacing technique to work past that point?
