Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time write your responses much appreciated.
To make it clearer, thankfully I didn’t pay any money/deposit etc.
I went to the shop and he took measurements of both feet and discussed my needs etc. He was very helpful and clearly knows his stuff.
I believe it’s the Jackson Fusion Freestyle we settled on which are around £250 with blades.
He said he’ll get them in and I can try them on, he said if not by the end of the week then should be by the following week if they had to come from Canada. Nearly : weeks later and still nothing.
In all honesty I understand a longer wait if they’re coming from Canada but it’s more the fact I literally get no updates and they literally do no answer the phone, I’ve been trying daily throughout the day.
It’s terrible customer service and fills me with no confidence for using them in the future.
I would order online somewhere else but, I can’t exactly remember what size he concluded I needed and also worry having not tried them on. Thus I was asking for other shops.
I will definitely speak to the coaches at my rink for advice on skate fitting people.
I will keep you updated how I get on and anymore help or suggestions on places or people who do fittings much appreciated in the meantime.
