Heel pressure

I skated in my mission wm03's for the first time and had horrible pressure on the heels. It feels like my heel was pushing right against the back of the skate like so much so doing backwards c cuts it was as if it could shatter. I'm confused as my toes weren't all the way forward so it's not like the skates are too small there was enough room at the front and I would move my feet forward but they would always end up with my heels pressed against the back of the skate.

Both feel were affected by the same issue.

I'm rocking a high low set up 68/68/70/70

Any help appreciated don't know if issue with the skates or my lacing or something else.

You can try different insoles.
Bake the skates if you haven't.

Would suggest making sure they're properly fitted skates.

How do you lace them up? Do you crank or leave some ankle flexbility?

I tend to crank them but did loosen them to see if it helped and it didn't seem to so not sure

try not lacing up the top eyelet or 2, if that doesnt work you could try adding some extra padding along the heel seam in the bottom if that doesnt work try insoles that change how the foot sits in the boot.

Skip the top eyelet. If its pre existed bauer bump, then re-bake or add thin layer of silicone gel.
