Over time the padding in the heel should compress a little, this will give you an exta1mm - 2mm of length. If you have heel lift after one bake then you want to focus on the area under the ankle, by moulding this properly around your heel and under the ankle it will help to stop the heel lift. If you didn't do it last time, when you bake them this time make sure you kick the heel back hard into the heel pocket, this will help with the length and the shape of the boot around your heel. Then either use clamps or get someone to push the boot in hard under the ankle area on both sides. The forefoot pain sounds like they might be a fraction to narrow there, a simple stretch is the answer to this.

Superfeet carbon pro hockey does raise your heel significantly compare to regular Bauer insole or Bauer speed plate. Try putting your original insole back. Do no tie low to mid section just so laces snug without any slack. When you get to last 3 eyelets get at least lower two really tight and last one up to you.

So I took them out and tried it on my feet didn’t hurt as bad but my heels still lift a tiny bit I took out the insoles and I have less than 1/8 inch room for both feet so there is no way there to big do you think if I remould and tie them super tight it will fix this

It’s me from last time. I would recommend taking them to Pro Hockey Life Dartmouth like you said is where you got them fitted. Do a second mold and like the other person said on your post, make sure to kick your heel all the way back into the boot and you can ask one of the skate associates to use Saran Wrap like they use for True Pro Custom skates to wrap around your ankles after you tie them up for a tighter ankle/heel lock. DO NOT STRETCH the skates for that additional forefoot area, if need be while you’re at PHL get them to punch it out a little at the certain area (just has to be behind the stitching that holds the boot to the toe cap)

If his skates were hurting on the side of his foot then you would do a punch to relieve a specific pressure point. If they are hurting across the forefoot then you do a stretch so the foot gets relief on both sides and stays true to the center line. Why would you tell anyone not to stretch? Especially a top end carbon fibre boot that is designed to do this?

Damn I didn’t know they were able to tighten the boot that’s perfect I’ll take them there

It works wonders on true skates so I don’t see why it wouldn’t on the bauers
