? wrong for skate: Skates can be difficult to fit with standard orthotics. Furthermore, the mechanics affected by an orthotic for standing/walking can be different than those used during a skating stride. Skates often require "shimming" between the boot and blade holder to resolve foot mechanic issues rather than orthotics.

Not the orthotics: It is probably not caused by the orthotics. Since most inline skates come above the ankle and lock the foot & ankle in position the orthotic does not serve much function. It is probably the position you put your back in when you skate that is causing the stress & pain.

Orthotics: Both answers are correct - orthotics won't work well in skates . It is likely a positional problem . Try doing some reverse crunches to strengthen your lower back
