For the last 3 years I've been skating with Graf Supra 605's, just loved them. I have very, very flat feet. No arch support whatsoever. I had superfeet insoles and life was good. A very comfortable skate. Well, I got new skates, Graf 705's. I had them baked and all. I figured that the 605's and 705's are the same fit so I simply put in the superfeet that I had in my 605's and went to play. I've skated in my new 705's three times and the pain in my arch is excruciating. While on the bench I feel my feet throbbing with pain. After the session I take off my skates and the pain is really bad. People with flat feet know how difficult it can be to find a comfortable skate. Well besides trying to get rid of the skates on Craig's List or Kijiji here are my options.
- ditch the Superfeet and use the Sidas insole that came with the skate
- try lacing the skates up differently (loose in the middle)
- endure the pain for a few more skates to see if it gets better
I have had similar problems before breaking in my skates but never this bad. Any suggestions???
