I just got a pair of Omer Stingrays in the mail yesterday and they fit good but i got one pressurpoint on the side of each foot but is perfect other the that, its like half way down on the sides of my feet and only at one Point (the area is only like 1x1cm big) on each foot and my question is will the foot pockets be a bit softer or shape it self after my foot or will i just be used to it? They fit perfect but as i said it only that point on each foot.

This is a picture of the area but its not my foot and just a random picture from online.

I had a similar problem with the Pathos foot pockets on my Moana fins. They weren't tight where your pockets are, but they were too shallow so that they pressed down on my metatarsal heads. A lot of people seemed to have the same problem. The solution was to put on an extra pair of thin fin socks or regular socks and heat them with a heat gun on low setting, or a hair dryer. Then keep your foot in them as they cooled off.

Of course they were not Omer pockets, so I don't know whether the same fix would work on them. I offer this suggestion until something better comes along, or perhaps someone can say whether or not it will work on the Omer pockets.
