The only input I have is that in street shoes I can’t stand heels over about an inch maybe inch and a half. I think my skates have a “normal” heel? It said custom or special on the order form but was the same as my old pair and a few others I acquired (1 3/4” I believe offhand.)
From what I read some brands pitch skaters forward with a bit more heel to help with jumping? I’ve seen some interesting YouTube videos of people trying out antique skates, and from books also I saw that in the distant past the heels were a lot lower. This is circa ‘20s maybe ‘30s. I’d love to try some if I could.
