I just got edea piano in 260b. My heel fits perfectly but after having boots on at home for about 10min (just sitting in them) the ball part (soles) started feeling like burning. I laced loosely and even when not laced the “burning” is there. When insoles removed its bit better. It’s like there’s pressure from top more than from sides. Does this mean the boot is too narrow? I haven’t skated in it yet but would the lining relax a bit? I tried 265C and it was way too wide and long and my heel could move around a lot.

Your toebox is too narrow. Did you get fitted by a pro? (not a hockey shop in the rink). You don't sound like Edea are for you.

you have another thread on this where i answered you this : Your toebox is too narrow. Did you get fitted by a pro? (not a hockey shop in the rink). You don't sound like Edea are for you. What level are you btw?

@mods can this be moved to their other thread since I answered them here and they've deleted and asked again in new thread since? tia!
Yes got fit by a pro who services Olympic guys.. don’t think the problem is there.. today after about 3h in the boot my right foot feels like it is just in the sock, no issues when no soles inserted. But left foot is less so. Should I wait until after few skating sessions before heading to open toe box a bit?
I read elsewhere someone else had snuggled fit in edeas initially only to have them becoming “roomy” later..
Hi,
Ok, I am not an expert, but yes, I have had an overly snug fit in my Edea that lasted for weeks, maybe months, before it became comfortable and then roomy even before the boots broke down.
However, if I recall correctly it, the "burning" feeling was on my arches, not on the toes. Which makes me think that like ic3rabbit said, maybe your toe box is too narrow. Could you have it punched or stretched out? Or cut your losses and sell them and get the 260C?
Good luck!

This is my first pair of edea, I switched from Gam which took 2 months to break in only to break them down month later. My arches are medium, not much void on the footprint.my pro told my ball is not wide and is rather regular/narrow. I wear Ferragamos in either regular or narrow width too.
I just came back from the rink.started skating w/o inserts and had no issues. So I put insoles in and my feet went to sleep by the end of session. but nothing like earlier burning sensation. This makes me think there is more vertical pressure than horizontal (from narrow width)?

Because edea uses different lining/foam compared to others, I wasn’t sure if to just skate more and resort to stretching later if no improvement.

Whether there is vertical/horizontal pressure... Either way it sounds like the toe box is too small to accommodate your foot volume/arch. Edeas are made similarly to the casts you wear when you break your bones, which is why Edea fittings are best done by fitters who specifically work a lot with shaping and molding Edeas. Unlike leather boots, if you get it vertically stretched, it will decrease the horizontal width. Now this may work out perfectly, but there is a chance that you actually need a 260C and the fitter didn't get you in the right width.
C is the standard width for Edeas, and Edeas tend to run a smidge narrow anyhow in their standard width.
I thought they removed the standard insole, and thought it was not usual or correct to go totally insole-less.
The OP can confirm.
Ok it took about 25h on ice and toe box opening tiny bit and it fits perfect. I was told the burning sensation may be from getting used to higher heel. It’s all gone. Practiced 2.5h today-no issues. I also incorrectly thought I had standard arch. I don’t-I have high one. Added support just in case. I never had arch problems when I was competitive sprinter or walking on high heels all day.
love the boot and happy I went B! Thank you guys for all your suggestions, it did help a lot to ask right questions during follow up fitting!
