Hello, I'm sulli and I started skating in december, since then I kinda liked it and practicing like 8-10h a week
I've learnt to do crossover and I'm making my way to backward skating right now
The time to get a new pair of skates has come since rentals kinda hurts and block me from learning (different skates every session and some pain at times)
I have been searching for a fitter near my area for a week and it seems like there is none... I've read everywhere that the best is to find a fitter so you have comfortable boots that matches your level....
I've ask at my skating place to other people and they all say they had to move to paris but from where I live it's about 6h trip... which is not really an option for me
I'm really concern by online shopping cause I don't want to buy wrong boots and have to buy new ones after if they don't fit or change boots in 6 months...
I'm I'm 185 lbs and 5'10 and I have no willing on learning jumps as I kinda prefer dancing.
I'm unsure about which boots to buy regarding stiffness and if I should take low cuts or not as I heard I need boots that allow me for good knee bend to get those edges right
I think I'll skip the dancing blade as a start as my budget is quite limited, arround 500$ and the dancing blades are crazy expenssive (I've heard they not good for beginner too ? any tips regarding that ?)
I'd like to get the right boot and maybe upgrade my blade in few months
Sorry for my poor english I'm french and I'm self taught so I hope you guys can understand me
