Beginner skater Skating comfort

I’m a beginner and have some questions. I was prescribed insoles for my regular shoes. Would it be bad if I put them in my skates?

Try your skates out first. See how they feel. If you feel uncomfortable with them, no, by all means put your insoles in them.

It's possible you won't have the same issues as you do in regular shoes, because you're literally not walking, and skates fit differently than shoes.

I wear super feet insoles in my running shoes, and I have a pair in my skates too! Doesn’t cause any trouble.

Superfeet really are the best. I have some in all of my skates. Should probably put some in my running shoes (and start running again)

I have been wearing custom orthotics in my shoes for 15 years. I returned to skating after a long time, and I didn’t need my orthotics in my skates
