After 4 skates, 2 bakes and 2 punches on my Super Tacks, I've now at the point where they feel perfect on my (franken)feet. These are honestly the best skates I've ever owned and it's not even close. The funny thing is that the volume is so volatile (for me), that even a change in socks made a huge difference. The magic formula for me was Superfeet Carbon and Warrior skate socks, the non-cut resistant ones. Also, it's worth noting that waxed laces basically don't work at all with these skates (again, for me). I tried it before one of my skates and was almost unable to even lace them up due to how stiff the boot is and how little room in the top there was.

Hi, everybody. Things are great and I'm happy to be back on Modsquad. I have a new frame company called Fizix, and we have designed and engineered a completely new aluminum frame that will be Everything that Sprungs were plus Everything that was missing. Website coming soon. Pics as soon as I can get them up. WooHoo!

This is not necessary the case and often quite the opposite. I've posted on this many times. My son has very flat feet and superfeet killed him and exacerbated his pronation. Is now 11 yr old and a very good, borderline AAA caliber skater. No special insoles whatsoever. Skating is not running, so, having something to "push their feet up in the arches" doesn't work in the same way it does with running because the ground reaction forces are different. Honestly, recommending "high arch" insoles for somebody with flat feet in skating is probably about the farthest thing from what you would want to do. They will make most people in this category miserable. High arch insoles in skating are for people with.... high arches... So, my point is, special insoles may or may not be necessary, but they are certainly not necessary simply because the skater has flat feet. Feel free to search my earlier posts on the matter, I've commented quite extensively on it.

I think I'm going to give the new Tacks a try. After all, they have the money back guarantee if returned within 30 days. Currently in a Graf Ultra G5 that I have not been happy with for the last 4 years...but kept wearing in order to get my "moneys worth".
