Has anyone experienced this with their skates? I purchased a pair of Klingbeil boots two years ago, when I first started skating. They were on the stiff side, but they were always comfortable. I always tied them a little loose, but of course, that led to edge problems. I tightened the laces, but I always found that my plantar/instep would have this ache as I skated. The boot is a perfect fit, but this seemed most prevalent when learning new elements (funny, when the elements become comfortable, it doesn't hurt to do that element at all). My coach suggested tightening at the ankle, but leaving the plantar/instep looser. Even when I only tighten the ankle, the plantar/instep still has that ache.
If you've experienced this, can you tell me what you did to alleviate it? My coach and I think it's actually me putting too much pressure on the feet, rather than the boot being too tight.
