I am looking for Jackson 10.5 or Riedell 11 boots, Advanced, Intermediate or Instructional level. Since my skating budget is minuscule ($75, or so), I doubt whether I will find replacement Freestyles, much less Competitors or Elites. I might be able to work with Mystiques for a few months. Riedells would be the Medallion series, if necessary, the Star series, if possible. I am not extremely familiar with SP Teri, Harlick, Graf, Gam, et al.
Background:
I have been using a pair of Jackson Freestyles for the last year that I really like. Well, except for the fact that they are size 11.5 and I should be wearing a size 10.5 (long story.) The problem wasn't apparent at first, but after a few months of 16 hrs/wk I started losing and control and getting blisters. I checked with a boot fitter and discovered the problem. Heat molding and extra insoles helped for a while, but I can no longer progress with the current wobbliness.
Just got nice used Ultima Freestyle blades. Single jumps: all except Lutz and Axel. Spins: Iffy scratch and back wiped out temporarily by new blades, working on sit.
Post here or PM me if you have anything sitting around. My feet will thank you!
