Reddit reviews Dr. Scholls Double Air-Pillo Insoles Unisex - 1 Pair

Even though I now feel like my skates fit awesome, (1) I still run a piece of tape around my big toes to keep my nails firmly attached to the nail bed. And sometimes the baby toes, as well. I struggled for a long time with my previous skates, though. To help break my current ones in, while they were still tight, I also (2) used the "double helix" lacing technique and (3) skipped holes that were near the places where I seemed to be the tightest. (4) taking out the stock insole and replacing it with the memory foam inserts. (5) I also used moleskin on a couple of the most sore parts. [But I didn't put the moleskin on the spot where the callous was, but like in a donut around the sore spot (so the boot rubs on the moleskin, not the sore spot AND you're not making the boot wider at the exact spot of the pain.] Where is the pain? ANY shoe expert might be able to help you with some custom heat molding. Just make sure if they use an oven, that they take the wheels off before they heat them up. EDIT: some people suggest skating barefoot so the oils in your sweat help break down the leather so they'll "break in" faster. I don't do this, tho.
