Superfeet will stabalize ur foot, it will NOT solve any problems if the skate is sized wrong to begin with.

90% of problems in skate fit occurs when the skate is too big. This causes a few problems.

1.the widest part of the foot is no longer in the widest part of your skate, this can cause overall discomfort around the arch

2. Ur heel is moving, which enhances the pain caused by over pronation. (Imagine walking on ur tippy toes all day) which can cause arch cramping.

If ur skate is indeed sized correctly, then continue to wear them with superfeet (make sure they are trimmed/fitted properly). And wear proper hockey socks. Which are moisture wicking and are usually thinner. As moisture build up in socks can cause hot spots in skates as well.

If u think ur fitted wrong, or if continue wearing the skates and it doesn't get better....come see me and I'll give u back the $50 u paid for the missions and we can put it towards a pair of properly fitted skates. (Provided the skates are not trashed and u have ur recipt).

That's how you determine how a skate fits?

1. Width
2. Length
3. Forward Lean

You're missing one important element but that's cool.
