Would you say these work better than the gel pads that attach to your tongues? As the gel pads helped spread the pressure but created a bigger volume issue in the end..

I will and am constantly trying different lacing but I find it so hard to not lace the top eyelet.. could just be a matter of getting used to it/ankle strength but I don’t find it ideal. the tongue isn’t compressed from what I can see. Best way I can explain is that the tongue is sitting on the ankle rather than hugging the ankle almost like it’s too wide on top of being thick.. I will continue to grind and keep trying different lacing, possibly some eyelet extenders and if all fails I think I’ll go to true tongues as they seem a lot thinner and are available locally without modifying the toe. Really appreciate your input

Hi All, I am trying to get back into my skates as much as possible but I am really struggling with forward flex which I believe is causing me lacebite. I am skating APX2 skates that were used for 1 season roughly 55hrs of ice time years ago. They are retail skates which I had originally baked and have had them rebake last week.. I am looking for possible solutions before I resort to buying new Skates. things I have tried -Gel pads to mitigate the lace bite seem to limit forward ever so slightly more.. - different lace patterns still trying different options things I’m considering - eyelet extenders: do any of you make your own? Please share or dm me how you make them and attach to your skate eyelets - used to skate a X7.0 which has a formfit2 tongue a lot thinner then the APX2 felt tongues. And have considered swapping them. Is it even possible to replace Bauer tongues I’ve read about it but my buddy that works at PHL told me it’s nearly impossible. If possible anyone know where I could source tongues other then nash sniper tongues as alternative to swapping my x7.0 into apx2.. alternative options - purchase a used pair of 1X in 7.5EE for 200$ - would have to try and confirm pencil test is good and only other issue is I currently wear 7.5D ANY INPUT IS APPRECIATED i have not done then pencil test since the original purchase. I will do it this afternoon and update this post.
