Socks to wear in Carbons

Here's my problem: ever since I experienced the joys of Carbon Frees I have been increasingly unhappy with what the Carbon 3's I am skating now do to my feet. They hurt.

I have heat molded the skates once and most of the pressure points have gone away, but I will most likely have to bake them again to perfect this. This won't change the fact my feet feel like molded in concrete when I skate.

What do? I know there are these sports socks that have all kinds of patches on them but which of those work for skating?

Wouldn't something like that cause more pressure points?

For what it's worth, I always rock redwings in my skates. I have worn these socks for almost 20 years now, nothing beats them.

I think of it as the socks becoming a part of the lining. More stuff in place that keeps my feet from being attacked by the carbon. I don't want to eliminate the "close to the foot" feeling. But pain is an indicator for too close.

Yes buy if thers pain from a tight fit then thiner or no socks means less pressure try it go put a bear foot in the skate and you will see ...if u want more room wear thiner socks
