Boot Advice for a Heavy Adult Beginner with Wide Feet

[IceM]

I'm assuming measuring the widest part of my heel, the diameter of the half-circle it makes when tracing it out? I measured 70 mm / 2.76 inches.

Sorry for taking so long to respond.

Yes, that's what I mean. And yes, manufacturers are bad at providing exact stats of their boots. But given that measurement, you have both wide heels and foretoot, so extra wide Jacksons should be your best bet.

However, I would recommend you try the men's models, if available, as those should be slightly wider too, and stiffer, which is good for you. They just don't come in white. You might still need to stretch the forefoot a bit, but at least much less so than other stock boots.

Hey there~ Sorry I'm not going to be a helpful addition to your post, but I just found our similarities kinda cool! I just made a very similar post to yours, same with stats at the end and tagging Ic3rabbit, I even have the same skates Jackson Freestyles Women's in size 7.5 and struggle with a wide forefoot! it's such a coincidence

I hope you find your perfect skate and hopefully I will have success in this too
