My skates are a half size too big.

First, see if the store will do anything for you.

When I got put into skates which were a size too small for me (even though I'm not a noob, I suspected the size I wore were a bit too big and trusted the guy when he told me "don't worry" and "they'll stretch") and I realized they weren't gonna stretch anywhere near enough after the first few skates, the hockey shop exchanged them for me and apologized. Would you believe it was the B&M HockeyMonkey?

One of the skates is still a bit big because my feet are about a 1/4 size different, so I put a ShockDoctor insole into the boot with the smaller foot and it helped a lot.
