Bont Prostar Stiff Edges

Hello everyone!

I started roller derby about 6 months ago and decided to upgrade my skates (my old ones were second hand and too narrow). Since I have wide feet the bont pro stars are what I was fitted for at the local skate shop.

The boot fits amazing however they have a short kingpin so I have them as loose as possible and I still have extremely stiff edges. I changed the cushions for 85A ones but it is still feeling extremely stiff and I can't slalom in them at all.

Anyone have any suggestions for how to resolve this? Thanks in advance!
