CCM RBZ-40's are slightly too tight...

[Maki 0]

Hey guys! Got a quick (noob) question... Ok, so I recently ordered some CCM RBZ-40's from Hockey Giant, and the length is perfect and the width is good... Except for the toe box. Where that hard plastic begins, is where it is tight enough to make the toes on my right foot go numb after a half hour. Can the toe box be punched out a little? I ask because, since they are low-end skates, I know they're going to fall apart rather quickly, and I don't want them to degrade any quicker than they already would normally... But I can't skate under these conditions lol. Should I sell them and get some IN STORE that fit my Flintstone feet, or should I have the toe box punched?

I bet you can't punch so much that point, you could try but my best bet is the last thing you said :)
