I appreciate the advice CAAOM , I think these are almost brand new skates though and I had them sharpened at the store. I think I might just end up getting a new pair…again…sigh

One other thing to mention is how tight you are lacing up. I used to have the same toe problem until I loosened my laces down to the bottom each time I put them on and with my foot in, laced it up really tightly EXCEPT for the third set of eyelets, for some reason this shifted things just enough so my toe wasn’t rubbing.

Of course, YMMV, but try looking at how you are lacing up.
