what is the bump right above your arch called?
mine never seems to go away.
is it something serious ?
what is it?!!?!?!?!?
It's usually the navicular bone, but not always. It gets enlarged in skaters because of the pushing motion against the inside of the boot during stroking. It's popularly called a pump bump. It shouldn't hurt, so there must be something wrong.

ok yea the bump on the inside of your foot might be a cyst at first they hurt and stuff but it is nothing too serious! so i wouldn't really worry about it....it its just a little pocket thing of blood and other fluids and alot of skaters get them from always having their skates on. They usually start out as bruises when i first noticed mine i noticed a bruise and didn't think much of it then it started to hurt, so i went to the doctors and he couldn't figure out what it was, so yea that is the only suggestion i have.... and if it hurts i would consider getting jell-socks i don't know you might have them already but if you don't you can purchase them at your skating store they usually sell for about 40$ i know that is alot for what it is but it really works.... i hope i helped

When I had SP Teri's I had to have this area punched out a few times to make my feet more comfortable in the boots.
Also, if this is a painful lump that doesn't go away within a week of getting your boots punched, I would see a foot doctor. You don't want to be skating in pain for too long.
