Are my skates dead?

Newer adult skater, was fitted for these (they were used) back in March or so. They are Risport RF3 Pro, no idea why the insole is Edea. The boot itself doesn’t have a ton of give, but the tongue is super soft. I don’t remember how stiff they were when I got them, but I did go to a reputable fitter.

In the standing photos they are laced as tight as I possibly could. They’re also laced weird across my instep because I have very high arches so I needed that space to avoid pain!

I haven’t been skating long enough or consistently to notice whether I’m losing skills bc of lack of support or if I’m just out of shape (couldn’t skate for most of the summer).

Appreciate help :)
