My Bindings are painful

I went to a ski school yesterday and went out on the wakeboard and water skis. I have never done either one. I had a blast! I bought a Liquid Force Diva board a month ago with the Element Bindings. I was up on my second try and every time after that and loved the board.
I have to say that I really loved to ski too! Bought a set while I was there.
My big Question is...my feet hurt so bad in those Element Bindings that I did not go back out on the board once we came in. They were so tight that the pain was real bad. The wakeboard guys said they should be tight but, it was so tight it hurt on my first run down the lake.
Can someone please tell me if I'm in the wrong bindings, if they have ever worn the Element Bindings. I do have a wide foot and think that is the issue. Does anyone have this problem or recommend another binding?? I would really like to get out again.
Thanks for your input.
I love being behind the boat and I am for sure addicted. What an awesome sport!!}
