1000X this. If the pain is only on one side of your foot it is likely the result of inadequate arch support. If it was on both sides of your feet that would probably be too narrow. The reason for this is when you lace up your skate tightly it can collapse your arch, resulting in the outside of your foot being forced up against the side of your skate.
I sold hockey skates for about 5 years while I was in school. I would recommend some sort of arch support before you punch your skates. Superfeet have done wonders for me in the past, and I would recommend trying that before punching your skates, realizing that isnt the problem and then having to get a new pair.
PM if you have any more questions.
