I posted previously complaining of sore feet and asking
for suggestions; I also mentioned "cooking" my boots with
a hair dryer.  I didn't have to resort to such brutal tactics,
however. When I got the skates (California Pro Nitroline), the
tongue on the innerboot (liner) was set up so that it was
inside the innerboot.  I don't know if this was correct or
not, but the way I wear my skates (tight) it caused the sides
of the tongue to crimp into my foot -- ouch!  So, I ignored
all the excellent advice I recieved, and on a whim, pulled
the tongue out so that it now overlaps the liner, rather
than the other way around.  I just skated for 1-1/2 hours
with only minor discomfort, so I think it worked.  

If you are having trouble with similar skates, consider
this option.  Much of the advice I got was: buy better
skates.  This seems to be the best solution if you can
afford it, as I tried some more expensive skates, and 
the difference was incredible.  I will stay with my
cheap skates for now, though -- the wheels and bearings
are good.

Anybody know whether those tongues were supposed to be
inside like that?  I have seen them both ways on 
different brands of skates, but outside sure fits better.
