So now they're perfect!
I took the tongue and laces out and clamped it in the vise. Took the heat gun to the toecap inside and out. Took a puck, which turns out is just a couple of mm's wider in diameter than the toe box, and tapped it in with a hammer. Heated again for a little bit. Let it set for about an hour. Tried it and it was waaaaay better, but I felt it wasn't quite there. I repeated the process only this time I increased the diameter of the puck. I used painters tape to fasten a Grolsh bottle washer (have a ton...I use them as guitar straplocks) to the edge. Tapped it in again, with the washer pushing against the problem spot and left it a few hours to set. I skated in them today and they felt great. No more squished together toes or pressure points. We all good now. I played Friday night in my AS3 Pros but next game up...these 100K's are goin' in🇨🇦🥅🏒👍😎
