One of the posters in the Kling thread made an interesting comment: that their Klings fit like tennis shoes, but, perhaps that was because they were custom.
IF custom skates are made to fit the skaters feet, then, how are the custom skates of different manufacturers differentiated? They all seem to have the same basic options available; the point around "Riedell foot" vs "SpTeri foot" should be eliminated, as they are fitted to the skater ... I'm curious as to what makes a "Kling" custom better/worse than Harlick, SPTeri, Jackson, etc.
The only experience we have had thus far is in Kling customs; however, we're changing manufacturers as we're queasy about the longevity of Klings and figured it best to bite the bullet and move on (plus couldn't manage a trip to NYC right now). Just intrigued as to the experience with other customs ...
