What exactly does it feel like when your new boots hurt?
I've had seven skating sessions, about 6.5 hours total on the ice, about 11 hours total wearing the skates. I take a LOT of breaks to sit down, the last two sessions I'm doing that less, and just standing at the wall and resting a foot at a time on the heel of the blade, but last night I did it more again.
I've never thought that the BOOTS were uncomfortable, except for the first time when I laced the instep too tight. I feel like they are exactly the right size.
The soles of my feet begin aching something fierce after 10 minutes or so. When that happens, I sit for a minute or take my weight off at the wall, and they stop hurting. They feel like I've been walking all day (like when I went to Europe and walked miles a day when I wasn't used to it). I've had plantar fascitis before, I don't have it right now but I feel like I'm about to get it again.
I did think it was just the boots at first, but now I wonder if it's me. I have flat feet. I pronate slightly, and have a small orthotic wedge in one boot to help with that. Otherwise, it's the insoles that came with the Jacksons.
I skated 12 hours ago, and my feet are still achy this morning. (That isn't usually the case). And since it might be relevant, I'm about 40 pounds overweight.
Advice is needed.
