Depending on the quality of the skates, you might want to take them to Pro-skate to get them heated, stretched and moulded. If they are mid-line or higher skates its makes a world of difference. If they are your typical Canadian Tire / Sport Chek budget skate, heating can actually wreck them as there is more glue than stitching holding them together.
Every couple years, I buy a new pair of Grafs from them, and when they are done working their magic on them, I swear you could almost wear them without laces they fit so well after.
