So im skating on the 9k's and I have been having trouble with the tongue digging into my foot/ankle...it has been like that for awhile but now it just gettin alot worse....does anyone have any tips on how 2 fix this or is the only way to avoid this problem is to buy new skates?

Lots of guys use cut up old mousepads to alleviate lacebite, this might help in your situation. you could try lacing them a bit looser in the problem areas as well. If all else fails, there are lot of guys on here who swear by bunga pads.

I doubt it's a volume issue since the RBKs are known to be very deep skates, but you never know. If it is an issue with the depth of the boot, there are'n't many deep fitting skates. Graf 709/G9 is all that comes to mind right now, but I don't know which skate is deeper.
