Hey! First, thanks for the order and welcome to Team POWERFOOT. Based on your post, can I assume you've skated on them a few times? What can happen after 3-5 good skates is the Foam will settle in and they may work out for you. Also, more pressure is better for the performance providing they don't cause pain or numbness. If you end up deciding to get another set send me a DM and I'll see what promotion we can find to help you out.Cheers! Thanks for the initial feedback and welcome to Team POWERFOOT. Let us know how you feel after the true test ;)
