Bauer 7000 issues

[jwr 0]

After 10 skates my lace bite issue seems to be calming down. Now I seem to be having a pressure issue on my fore foot. Both feet just behind my big toe where it sticks out a bit is sore after skating. I have tried tying the bottom eyelets loose/tighter and it doesnt seem to help. This problem only cropped up in the last 3 skates. I know these skates are harsh on break in. I haven't baked these skates yet. So I am wondering should I bake them? Punch them? Heat that area up myself and work it? Put up with the pain a bit more? Anyone else have these issues? I believe my old Canstar Bauer skates had a bit more room in this area compared to my new skates. I love the skate and the support. Thanks.

Bake them and if you still have too much pressure, have them punched.
