What skaters said on Reddit
A couple things. In general, new shoes take a while to break in. I suggest wearing them every day until you break them in. A lot of skaters run them over with their car. Sort of like breaking in a baseball glove. Also, some skaters heat their shoes up in the microwave for 30 seconds, and then immidiately walk around in them. This is also like people who put their baseball gloves in the oven. It loosens up the threads and the rubber, and walking around in them helps mold them to your feet like a mouth guard after boiling. There's a couple how to videos on youtube. [VIDEO] [VIDEO] However I was having the same problem and hadn't yet found these videos. My issue was similar to /u/V3ndeTTaLord where my feet are too broad for a lot of skate shoes as I feel they've always been made for typical white people who tend to have thinner longer feet. My shoes are almost always too tight around the sides, and too long in the toes. What I did to fix this problem was to stuff a baseball into my shoe and I left it there for a day. The next day I put my shoes on and the pain was gone. It still kicks in a bit after skating around or walking, but that goes away wants you wear them enough to form them …
All I could find on Google was nuking your shoes (not just laces) supposed to help them break in faster? There's a braille video about this: [VIDEO] I always just wear the new shoes (outside of skating) for like a week while my previous pair dies..
