Hi all,
My first post on here, although I’ve been a lurker for a while!
I’m considering new boots, but after some advice please. I’m currently skating at the NIC, working on Skate UK level 4. I’m skating in second hand Risport Lasers, which I believe are a very old boot. For the most part these are ok, but I suspect they might not be wide enough for my feet, although the length of fit is perfect. I have bunions on both feet and it’s been a real ordeal getting the tightness of my skates right. I’ve now got to a point where my bunions don’t hurt in the boots, but to get my ankle locked in I have to really tighten the ankles, which is then making my feet ache terribly.
I’ve heard that Edea’s are a wider fitting boot, but I’m worried that I’ll buy them thinking they feel ok and end up wasting money once I’ve actually skated in them. Do you have any advice on what I need to be looking for when I go to try these and any other boots? With the Edea’s would you also say that the Overture would be the right level boot too?
Thanks!
