I didn't realise the Debut came LCL first, then plastic in the next version. My local pro shop only got them in once they'd gone to the plastic heel, so when I visited the shop that's all they had. And thank you for the information that they can customise the sole - I wonder if that means they can customise the width (past D or "wide") too??
Those "original Debuts" were out a very short time before they were retired. I don't know what the reason was other than they just didn't seem to fit into the model progression. I never saw them on any of the skaters at our 2 rinks.
I don't know if they do custom widths on the Debut, but the website says they do for the new Premiere Fusion which is just now out. At a Jackson stiffness level of 65 it's a couple of stiffness notches above the Debut Standard and one above the Debut Firm and is rated for Axel and beginning doubles. It will be our next boot, with the LCL or LCF sole option.
I'll tell you that when I have questions I submit to Jackson through their website contact page they
always reply within a couple of days. They have given us tremendous customer service and we'll stick with them as long as she fits in them.
