I'm a beginner (LTS4) who's primarily interested in ice dance once I get some competence with the basic skills. I'm currently skating in Jackson Evos and after a somewhat rough breaking in period they're basically comfortable for my flat, wide feet. My arches hurt for 10 minutes, starting about 10 minutes after I start skating, and then it goes away. I'm confident that I have the right size, though I'm aware that the level of support will be too low once I'm past the LTS classes. I now have an online lead on a pair of used Jackson ice dance boots in my size and width, with MK dance blades. The boots are pretty banged up, but the blades are supposedly "perfect." The price is significantly less than the blades alone would cost. My thought is that even if the boots turn out to be too broken down to use, worst case scenario is that I would have a pair of blades that I could transfer to a new pair of boots. I'm interested in everyone's thoughts, though - is an online purchase just too great a risk? Is it too soon for me to be thinking about switching to dance boots/blades anyway? What questions should I ask the seller?
