get fitted properly with a pair of skates that fit your properly enough said, missions skates suck hard, they fit 1/10 people PROPERLY because of their shape, not everyone has a perfect foot.

if you dont think this is true, why do you think mission no longer sells skates? oh because bauer bought them? no because the fit of their skates were totally brutal, that area where you have blisters on your foot, superfeet aint gonna help jack all. im sick and tired of listening to the mechanics of the foot nonsense.

if you have a bone spur on your foot, do you wear superfeet to correct it? no you punch that area out, its a simple fix.

have you ever did a custom fit for a pair of skates? didn't think so. only a massive sports store can think a pair of insoles can fix the world.



edit**

oh and taking a jab at the independent hockey shop employee, all we sell is hockey, all we know is hockey. we specialize in hockey. enough said.
U just ruins any faith I had left in cyclones.
To say you don't believe in foot biomechanics and you fit skates is an insult to real skater fitters out there.
Sure all you sell is hockey skates, but besides playing hockey, what CREDENTIALS do you have when it comes to understanding how the foot works.
When u said u don't get a foot bed for a bone spur, do u even understand why u get bone spurs. U don't just go and make everything bigger when something rubs, u need to find out WHY that area is rubbing. If your foot is not moving inside ur boot, there will be no rubbing, if ur foot is not stablized no matter how much room u make by punching, ur foot will constantly be moving.
Go ask the owner/most tenured skate fitter in ur shop, and ask him if biomechanics is important in skate fitting.

Fyi, my credentials
Skate fitting since 2003
Certified ski boot fitter thru Masterfit University
Master Boot Fit certificate from Masterfit University
Certified custom footbed maker thru Masterfit University
