If you have a game or practice within 24 hours of baking, it might be best to bake the skate at a different time. I would recommend at least 24 hours after baking before use. That way all the materials that get softened up by baking have time to cool and harden to the mold of your foot.
When you first skate in your new skates, yes, it is normal for there to be a little discomfort. It is normal to get the odd blister, or a bit of a pain. After your skates are broken in you should be able to skate in them without any pain or blisters.
After the player sits with the bottom of the blades against a soft surface for about 15 minutes, the boots will have molded to the shape of player's feet. This process helps reduce the break-in period for new skates that have a very stiff boot. It is important to note that baking is NOT a necessary process.
Heat molding or baking your new hockey skates is a way to help break them in faster so they'll hurt less and fit your foot better. Some hockey players choose to heat mold their skates at home in the oven, and others take them to a pro shop.
I (usually) recommend that players lace their skates snugly through the middle part of the foot (the part of the foot that needs the most support), but that above the ankle (the top eyelet of the boot) they should keep them somewhat looser. More advanced skaters may choose not to lace the very top eyelet.
Your skates either hurt because they weren't made for your specific feet, they aren't broken in, or you're not used to skating in them. Skates fit differently than shoes and I've found that skating through the pain (blood and all) was worth it in the end.
You really can't overboot with edea either, and I almost wish I had concertos now. As for blade, you don't have to go for top quality like mk or john wilson, you can just stick with jackson blades that are also pretty good, like matrix. i am an adult skater doing singles (no axel) and practicing around 4 hours a week.

Cooking our skates is forbidden! Edea boots are available in 4 different widths, C standard, B narrow, D wide E extra wide. The standard C width usually fits most of the skaters and is therefore supplied as our basic shoe. A narrower fit (B) is also available and other sizes D and E can also be ordered.
How to Measure
- Place a piece of blank paper on a hard surface against a wall.
- Draw a line marking the longest point of your foot, making sure that the pen stays perpendicular to the ground.
- Step off of the paper and measure the length from the edge (or corner) of the paper to your mark in millimeters.
To find your figure skate size first measure the length of your foot. Measure the length from heel to toe of the bottom of your foot. Be sure to use the longer measurement of of your two feet, most people do not have the same size for their left and right foot.
TAKE YOUR FOOT MEASUREMENT IN CM THEN ADD 1 CM TO GET YOUR BOOT SIZE. For instance if your measurements are 17cm, then you would want to get Edea Figure Skates in size 18.0 or 180. The Edea size charts take out the decimal, so instead of 18.0 cm, the boot size is 180.
The width of your foot is only one factor to consider when it comes to sizing wide skates. Some skaters need skates that are just wide in the toe box, whereas others need more volume to the skates. Fortunately, different brands and models have different widths all around to help you find the perfect pair for your feet.
