Baking with insole in to improve shallow skate?

[joeyisfunny 0]

My skates are just a touch shallow on me, I can feel a little bit of lace bite. If I bake the skates with the insoles in, will that compress them some to open up the skate a bit? Will they mold to the shape of my feet or is this a bad idea? They are One80s BTW.

I see your story is going on :)

Did you bake your skates first time without insoles ?

Yup took insoles out first time. The skates barely passed the pencil test with the pencil just barely brushing against my foot.

Its not going to do anything. Just skate in them and enjoy them. :)

Has anyone here laced their skates outside to in (instead of the normal inside to out) to reduce lace pressure on the tongue? Im definitely trying this when I get home. Seemed to help all 3 people that tried it on that thread.

You can try that or you can try just skipping the eyelet over the sore spot. That usually works too.

Is lacebite usually caused by skates that are a little too shallow?

Probably, yes. Try these, they work.

I always lace my skates that way, but I've never had a problem with lace bite. I just find that the laces hold better that way.
