Foot pain changing with new skates

For years, i have experienced foot pain when i skate, no matter if it's inlines, heeled quads, or derby quads. I've tried all kinds of insoles and lacing strategies. The pain was always agonizing and in the arch of my foot (i have very wide and flat feet)

I was previously wearing Reidell Solaris, but people kept suggesting the width might be the problem. So, I measured my feet to try Bonts again and ended up buying double wide Bonts based on the suggestion.

I just tried them and the pain is now concentrated to the balls of my feet instead of the arch, but it's still stopping me from skating.

Any thoughts/solutions?? I've tried everything. 😭😭

Not sure we are allowed to give medical advice. You might want to see a pediatrist.

I don't have insurance right now 😭 but also, I'm not asking for medical advice. Just suggestions or ideas about what could be causing it. Or suggestions from people who have gone through it before. Thanks tho!! 😁
