Is GAM being phased out?
« on: March 21, 2014, 06:54:33 PM »
I'm currently in Jackson skates but was reading that GAM have a wider toe box / narrower heel, which sounded like it would work well for me, however my attempts to find a retailer have been relatively fruitless. I was just wondering if it meant that Jackson were phasing GAM out?

The Jackson rep at our local competition last week had GAMs, so someone has them.

I think I saw them at a roller competition.

I don't think they're being phased out, they're just not being promoted as well as the Jacksons. I think someone from Canada would be able to tell us more.

I went to the Jackson / GAM website and selected GAM retailers in a couple of states - when I got to their websites, e.g. Rainbo, they didn't list GAM however I have just found some on Kinzies Closet. Ideally I want to go to a store and try them on as I think they will need quite a few modifications. Think I may need to make a few phone calls.....
