To ensure a good fit (she had all sorts of issues in the past) we went directly to the factory in Red Wing, MN for the fittings. Stayed at a really cute bed and breakfast too.
That sounds like the ultimate solution. I don't know about traveling that far for skates for me, but it's good to know that it's possible.
It's only a little over 1000 miles for you, each way, right? How much do you drive, to your favorite ice rink? 20 miles, 50 miles? So, about 20 or 50 skating rink visits, to get a perfect fit? Virginia traffic is pretty slow, so timeways, not so many trips. Maybe it isn't as bad as you think. (OTOH, maybe your rink is closer than that, or you found places to live and play with little traffic.)
In retrospect, when I was fit for my Klingbeils (no longer available, neither the brand, nor the "fitter" I used), if I had driven to NYC and back to that factory store (admittedly, a little closer), I would have saved myself a lot of pain and trouble.
Then again, it is far enough that you have to count the cost of the bed & breakfast or equivalent. (I would cheap out and camp. And/or take advantage of the outdoors.)
Anyway, I still don't get why you don't try using your Synchro boots and blades instead.
If you really love Gold Star boots, why not check every pro shop you can find with your size, and go where they have it, or get them mail order? Assuming you don't need a custom fit.
