So, when I first got my Edea skates I noticed a horrible pain sensation in my arches to the point that my skate tech, when I was still at school, put me in Superfeet Carbon. Today for no reason, other than my feet slightly aching due to incredibly wide feet, I decided to switch back to the original Edea insoles. The first thing I noticed, besides that they do not offer any arch support, was that I felt shorter in them - by shorter I mean closer to the actual sole of the boot; after I laced up it felt like my ankle actually matched up with the ankle area of the boot instead of being off (higher up) by a few centimeters. Obviously, I skated around and felt more grounded, like I wasn't teatering forward or high up because I usually feel like most of my weight is carried near the soles of my feet. I went through a lesson fine in them, aside from the no support problem that lead to some nice cramps and slight foot tenderness after skating. However, I felt more in control of my moments despite it feeling weird to be "lower" in my boots, and I did wipe out a few times and had to correct my posture for spins, jumps, and turns.
So, does/did anyone else experience this between different inserts? If so, would you recommend staying with the Superfeet or changing to new brand (if you could comment some suggestions that would be nice).
