  1. College Source for Sports in Brantford is offering FBV I was hesitant to try it, but it is much better, the glide is amazing but the edges are there
  2. Take them to your LHS where you bought the skates or to any other knowledgable store. Have the skate heated in the specific area where you have the rubbing and have the, put the skate on there boot press and press out that area.
  3. I would just heat the specific area, with a heat gun. Keep it away from the boot 4-6 inches and don't keep the heat gun in one specific spot. Move it around a little bit. Then just press out that area with the boot press
  4. Yes you can. Your LHS that has a boot press will be able to do it for you. Try the skate on and mark the area with a pen or pencil Heat up area Put on boot press and press out area The longer you leave it on the more permanent the press will stay

    I think if you order a pair of 709 wides, and have the arch shaved on the insole, you will be very happy. Where about's do you live.

    What did they measure your foot @ for width. D/E/EE ? 5K is not enough of a volume fitter for your foot. Keep in mind i don't think you need a custom skate. A 709 or 8090 will work you just need to possible lower the arch in your skate

    Custom Skates

    Forgot to mention the arch, personally it looks a little low, but not too bad. I would try it with stock graf insoles, if this doesn't work then I would shave the arch down in the graf insole and see if this relieve the pair, you can refer to my reply yesterday for a better description

    Custom Skates

    Muck You have a solid foot, high instep, thick heel/ankle area. 709 or any other high volume fitting skate will work. 8090 etc, personally a 705 skate does not have enough volume to fit your foot. Have you been measured for width? Keep in mind that a wide graf skate comes with a larger toecap then a regular width graf skate with the same length. Also the 709 comes in X-wide also. Do you have to buy online or can you go to your LHS and get properly fitted

    Custom Skates

    Not to already mention what everyone has already talked about but I would check these issues first Check the length of the skate and make sure the fit is correct, a skate that is to big will not allow your arch to sit in the correct place in the skate which will be causing you some discomfort Correct width Make sure you have the correct volume fitting skate, If you currently have a graf 705 skate, if you have the maroon insole you will notice that i has a higher arch then the black graf insole. ALso if you pull the insole out you will see the midsole has a elevated area in the arch. If you arch is a little on the lower side this might be causing discomfort. One option would be to shave the insole down in the arch area, this will lower it and might fix the problem (2) if you cut the raised part of the midsole out, this will also lower the arch and might resolve the problem. Keep in mind graf custom skates will still come with the raised midsole in the arch area unless you ask them to cut it out from the factory.
