ive been figure skating for 8 years so i know your pain lol
you didn't mention blisters, but those are usually a common problem with breaking in skates
if i were you id definitely purchase a pair of these

and with that, you slide them farther down so they cover more of your heel/inside of your foot
as for breaking them in faster,
get a pair of hard guards

(they look like that)
put those on the blade
then wear your skates around the house for about 15 minutes a day
it makes the breaking in process a lot faster
for keeping your feet warm, they have toe warmers you could also try
good luck!
feel free to ask anything else

Soak your feet in hot water before you put on your skates. It is going to take a couple of months before you fully break into your new skates. Don't skate as much because that just makes it work. If you skate to much, your feet will continue to be soar. If you make it a slow and long process your feet will become acustom to the feeling so they wont hurt when you do into competitions. Also soak your feet in warm water after skating too. Heat soaks the muscles and helps make them stronger as well.

You have to have really thin socks so that the boot can form better to your foot. As for keeping them warm, try getting a heat insulating fabric, like under armor socks. That should really make a difference.
