As I have posted before, I have a very hard time getting boots to fit my short and wide feet. As a matter of fact, I found out just how messed up they are, when my foot Dr. gave me a script, for not only orthotics, but for shoes as well!
I am on a tight budget, but need skates that fit right. I looked at some other brands, like Jackson, but I would have to have a pair that are heat moldable. The cheapest new Jacksons, that would work are around $350.00 or so and finding them used is not even close to easy; especially in my size.
I ended up getting another pair of Ice Fly's in super good shape, for a good price. My last pair of Ice Fly's were a tad small. My foot measures 9.5" (241MM) and the boots were a 240mm.
The ones I have now, are 245's, which are the correct size, BUT even after I heat reshaped them, they are still kind of tight. I am wondering if I should just resell the 245's and move up to 250's or just find a way to make the 245's work? Edea recommends going no higher than 5mm over your foot measurement for an adult, but would it really be that bad to go up to the 250's? I am sure I would be able to get them to fit okay. I am just worried about any problems it may cause?
Sorry about the long drawn out post, but this boot thing is driving me nuts! I can't realistically keep using my "Frankin Skates" (hockey boots with figure blades). They are a comfy skate, but lack the real control needed, as with an actual figure boot.
