    Awesome, thanks for everything guys. To say the least, I appreciate all the excellent feedback here. I visited my not-so-local hockey shop (it was an hour and a half away), got properly fitted, found out my skates were a size and a half too big, and tried on a few pairs. Ended up going with Bauer Supreme S170s that were very comfortable with the stock insoles in there. I went ahead and bought superfeet yellows as my fitter highly suggested for my foot type. Again, thank you very much for all of your help.

    Graf is a boot that pitches you well forward onto the ball of your foot, if you have never skated like this before the mid pain can be because your muscles are getting tortured in a brand new way as you skate, pitched forward and rolling in the boot. What inline skates are you in and what have you done to those (if anything) if you are skating in them comfortably? Then maybe consider an ice boot that follows a similar design for shape and volume.

    Alternatively (and this may be required for any boot you buy) consider trying to fill the negative space in the boot by using a half foot shoe insole (which will also help to counter the forward pitch in a Graf). You don't want a full length insole because this risks lifting the heel out of the pocket, a half one may help to raise your foot enough so that the boot can wrap around it when you tie your laces up and this will help to stabilise your foot in the boot. 

    I have Bauer X40Rs for roller hockey. The boot isn't laced tightly at all, and I have Dr. Scholl's inserts in them. I have completely loosened my Graf's as well, and have their (LOW) SIDAS inserts in them currently. Still experiencing a lot of pain in the foot with these. I have been looking at CCM RibCores as well, but plan on going to one of my local skate shops early this week to get properly fitted.

    Hey all,

     

    I am experiencing severe pain a little behind mid-foot while on my ice skates. I have Graf Supra G535S that I bought online which are 7W (I wear 8's in tennis shoes). The skates have been baked twice, and the laces are supremely loose except the top two holes for ankle support. I am extremely flat footed and have no arch whatsoever. Right now, Graf low arch inserts are in the skates. I can't skate for more than 5-10 minutes without pain affecting everything I do on the ice. I'm a roller hockey player that is just getting in to ice (at 34 years old no less) and have a big charity ice hockey game in August. Should I buy new skates? If so, what do you all suggest?

    Thanks in advance!
