Lacing question

[specs78 33]

Lacing question for you guys. I have a pair of Bauer Vapor x60s from ~2014ish. They fit me well, and I have not noticed any comfort/fit issues. Anyways, I was reading on here and decided to try a new lacing pattern. I laced the bottom of the foot normally, but switched to going through the eyelet from the outside for the top 5. All of a sudden I was skating way faster (by my standards) and could really feel the forward flex, better push through my stride, etc. However, 2 games in a row now my feet are going to sleep from the ball of the foot forward after about 20 minutes of skating. I don't feel like I am tightening the bottom laces any more than I used to.

Any ideas why I am getting this in the first place? Any thoughts on a lacing pattern that would allow better flex without putting my foot to sleep?

Thanks

Perhaps with your new lacing pattern your laces are not loosening as much over time?
