My daughter has outgrown her Jackson Freestyles...sort of. Her right foot is about a half size bigger than her left (5 vs. 4.5 in shoes), so the right foot is increasingly uncomfortable, while the left is only moderately uncomfortable.
We had them stretched at the skate shop and that bought us a week or two, but it's definitely time. Because of the size differential, the gal at the skate shop we went to was reluctant to go up too much in the next pair, so she's ordered a 5D in the Jackson Freestyles for us to try. The clerk tried some Gam skates on my daughter in sizes 5 and 5.5, but both sizes felt tremendously uncomfortable to her.
Any other brands we should think about trying? My daughter's been very happy with the Freestyle, but if there's a brand that would accommodate her better, I'm willing to check it out. She's almost 9 and in ISI Freestyle 2. We're in Los Angeles - any store recommendations are welcome as well.
