THANKS GUYS!

I have been looking into the insoles as a potential option. I went for a skate today with my son, a smooth slow skate, and there was very little discomfort, but there was some. Once the skate was off it was fine. Again, the skate itself doesn't feel small or pressing in any areas, which makes me want to think that it is just my foot experiencing new movements that have not been utilized in decades. I am still at the early stages in re-learning how to skate so I feel like I keep my foot in s tense state as I skate in hopes of not falling. I will get a spwwd plate and see how that goes. Thanks for taking the time!

Hey! I recently started skating again (had not skated in about 20 years) with my son who has really drawn interest in the sport. I found a pair of Bauer Supreme skates at a local used sports store that fit my feet great. There was no real discomfort at all when getting the skate on, standing, or even initially into the session. However, after about 10 minutes on the ice my feet would feel like there were little cramps. It was not a feeling like the skates were too small or uncomfortable, it felt more like maybe my foot was being used differently. Is this common? I have more of a flat foot. The pain lies mostly in the forefoot and instep of my foot. Not in the heel or ankle at all. I am a bigger guy (6'2 240) so I am not sure if this is something that's common and my feet muscles are being used differently or if I need new skates or new insoles? The pain goes away the next day. However, I did have one experience where there was some pain for a few days. It wasn't unbearable but it felt like my foot had been bound up for a day. Any help or adivce is appreciated.
