Ask your fitter. You did go to a reputable fitter, right...?

As @WednesdayMarch said, you need to talk to your fitter. Also, you are wearing and skating on these boots way too long per day. You are not an elite skater and you are skating way longer than they even train a day and week.
yes i went to bladewox like other skaters did the problem is that it is two hours away from where i live

Welcome to the Forums!
When I'm right; You are you seriously skating twice a week 7,5 hours a day? (On Skates that hurt your feet within 10 minutes?) Is that cramp or ache? I would suggest to skate 3-4 times a week at 1-1,5h per session. And of course contact your fitter; the two hours drive is definitely an investment!
Please try to use capitals and punctuation; that's so much easier to read.
usually once a week, twice if i’m lucky i can’t skate that much because of school and i said that there are times were it happens and i take a break i have my fitter’s number so i can ask him im just asking here for some advice
it comes to the point where sometimes it’s to painful i never got pain in my shins to skate before i got my edeas i had the Jackson classic (very old skates i know)

Yeah, ask people around your rink how tight (or loose) they tie their laces. But specifically your coach.
Are you familiar with this website?:

Last week I had pain in my shins at the session where I was trying out new socks. --> What kind of socks are you using? (Mine where to "fluffy" when I got problems)

@MoodyE: Lacing is a very personal thing (well how tight or loose you like them), and don't lace all the way up when breaking in, leave the top hook off. Also, if you are getting the pain you have been describing, it sounds more like your boots don't fit you foot properly in some way (most likely not wide enough, or long enough, or your foot shape is not meant for an edea at all). You really need to see a reputable skate fitter/tech and have this all checked out, and yes travelling 2 or more hours is the sacrifice many skaters have to take to get the proper boots/blades, etc.
Good luck!
