I am a purely recreational skate and I got a new pair of Riedell Bronze Medallions towards the end of last winter, so I didn't get a chance to break them in well. I went skating twice this season and the ice skates are still killing my arches within 15 minutes (I have low arches & I don't even feel like I have wide feet). I'm not sure if I brought too much boot and it's too stiff for me to break them in w/o being miserable. I just want to enjoy myself, not be grumpy trying to break it in in pain.
I am possibly pondering getting new truly recreational skates. I like the look of the white boot, so I am not interested in the Softec boots right now. There are 2 lower end boots, the Glacier and SoftSkates. Can anyone tell me what is the difference and which one is recommended for an adult?
Or do you think the Jackson Freestyle might be better for me because they are heat moldable, so maybe I won't even need to break them in? Thanks a bunch.
