    Percentage-wise, what’s another $400 on top of a new house? Count it as part of the moving costs. New skates are less expensive than ankle surgery if you break your leg using a skate that is falling apart, and the long term health benefits of exercise from hockey are immeasurable. Honestly, I don’t know if you can afford to not get new skates.

    Actually sounds like the boot isn't deep enough, probably fails the pencil test. I get what he means. Look at the top of your foot in the boot with the tongue pulled out. It's not a nice rounded surface. It's an asymmetrical inverted V. Bauer went there a little with the offset quarters.

    Either your skates don't properly fit or your tongue is worn out. Or you have a pre existing lace bite injury that never fully healed. If the latter is the case you need to be more agressive in the rehabilitation of it rather than rest and hope it gets better.

    Problem is not the shape of the tongue, it's that your instep is too high for the depth of the boot. If it wasn't, the tongue would sit comfortably on the tendon with the padding doing it's job, and your laces wouldn't press directly down on the tendon when you are flexing your foot while skating. Do you pass the pencil test on one skate and not the other? colins

    Bauer once had something like that called the Form-Fit tongue. https://sidelineswap.com/gear/hockey/skates/player-skates/857038-bauer-new-formfit-plus-felt-skate-tongues

    Well, at this point a year later, we are at another organization. He tried out for the previous organization. Due to multiple issues and a desire to play other sports we left. He was going to play in house at that rink. The inhouse program closed. At that time he was asked to play for a tournament team at another rink a little further away. He joined their inhouse program then they let him join late season on their travel team. He actually played his old team and was accosted by players calling him names and hitting him after the handshake line. So long and short he is happy where he is. The program he came from and rink all seem to be in jeopardy. It is a shame. But he enjoys his new team so much and the game.
