Eh, the southern states are sketchy as far as good pro fitters. Your best bets will be in N Carolina, Florida and Tennessee.
Yeah I suspected as much. Do you happen to know anyone in any of those states? I will do more research on it as well.
You need to figure out what kind of skate you are interested in. Many dealers only have one or two brands, and brands do differ a lot in construction fit and cost. Also a majority of those dealers are not figure skating folks and don't know much more than they were told by a sales rep. If you had a pair in the past that worked well that is a good start.
Yes, which is why I suggested those states, I will get this list to you ASAP. Sorry, I am busy for the next day.
I’m not sure which brand would work best for me. I’ve only been skating for a year and half, and the pair I have now are the only ones I’ve ever had. They’re Jackson Artistes that I just bought from my rink shop. They’re okay, but I do think they’re too big. Now I’ve started working on jumps and need to get more supportive skates. That’s why I was hoping to find a good fitter to help me figure out what to get.
If you are willing to give us some details about your foot shape, there are plenty of people here who can point you in the right direction. But of course, going to a fitter will probably be the best option.
Sure, I can try. My feet are kind of triangular, I think. The ball of my foot is quite wide, but it narrows a lot towards my heel. I think this is part of the problem with my current skates; the front feels like it fits, but my heel moves around a lot inside the skate. I also have very high arches.
Risport. Split width.
If it's the same store, then Kinzies Closet is out of the running.
It is - she is retiring
