Hello skaters.
I'm new and this is my first post, so please bear with me.
I have a question about Edea Rondo, which are rollerskating boots. I've worn them four or five times, for a couple of hours each time, and they're doing ok and settling in nicely. I have just put in some insoles, which has helped a lot in terms of comfort.
The fit feels fine in terms of length, and the heel area. However, when I wear them, after an hour or so, the wide part of my foot and my toes starts to get that tingly pre-pins-and-needles feeling. It stays for the rest of my session and gradually goes away over a period of about half an hour after I take my skates off. It is particularly pronounced in my left foot, which is slightly wider than my right. (I've had this problem before in my regular shoes too.) I have already adjusted the laces as best I can at the front, without having the boot too loose.)
From the research I have done so far, the boots can be "spot treated" with heat, to mould the interior to the parts of my feet where I feel discomfort. Could I do this myself with a hairdryer, do you think? If so, how, exactly, would I go about it? Alternatively, if you recommend getting a pro to do it, where would be the best place to take my boots for this service? (I'm in London so anywhere in London or the south east would be ideal.) And if you have any other suggestions, please pass them along - I'm grateful for any knowledge that people share with me.
