Lacing set ups
As someone who used to do a lot of sports growing up I know how important having fitting shoes is. This is still key with skates so learning to tie them correctly for you can really help with the fit.
Rubbing on the right of your feet
This more than often occurs on the right foot (this is why it - the knot - is only on the right skate in this picture). This method incorporates a standard lace up but half way up the skate you tie a knot. This means you can tie the top half of your skate (the part near your ankle) really tightly and tie the first half leaving slightly more room alleviating pressure from the lower part of your foot.
This can also be done with two sets of shorter laces, lace one up half way then tie in the second lace to the next part of your skate.
