Hi,
A while ago i bought new skates from Edea (chorus). Where I live they only sell figure skates in two stores in our whole country, so when I needed skates we drove all the way to the nearest shop which was luckily only a couple hours away. I got fitted and bought the edea chorus in 255. Turns out they’re too big, when I look at the sole I have at least 1 cm, and my feet don’t grow anymore. Any tips to what I can do? I’ve had them for a while now thinking that it would be fine but they are too big and I’m noticing it more now, especially when jumping. I can’t afford new skates in any near future, so are there anyone who has tips to something I can use to make them fit better? Maybe som kind of sole? Hope someone can answer! And also if anyone has a pair of edea chorus or concerto in 250 or 245 and maybe would like to swap? Let me know😅

There are certain inserts that can be put into skates, but ideally, you want to have the skates fit relatively well. You say that you were fitted - was it by a professional? Did they measure and/or trace your feet?

Yes i totally agree and would just buy new skates if i could😅 Just looking for a temporal solution since they’re not dangerously big either. Yes, I was fitted and measured by a professional, but she must have assumed that my feet were still growing.. Do you have any links or names for the inserts? Couldn’t find anything myself😊

Is it possible to have them exchanged by the fitter? Sounds like it was their error. Worth asking!

1 cm is a huge difference in length - sounds like they did not do a good fitting job for you at all. A too-large boot makes it all MUCH more difficult, and the blade length might be wrong too. Swap is a good idea -check out ebay. I'm not a pro, but have skated a long time, and I do have skates that are too big [friend de-accessioned] that I thought would be great, and my foot does not even move around inside, but just not right to use well. You can tell a lot from taking the insole out, and from looking at the boot makers' size sites.
