Hello!
I'm currently in Edea Chorus in the standard C width. I've had them almost a year. They fit great for the first three months or so, but after that I noticed that my heels began to slip a lot. Now I'm starting to get blisters from my heels moving up and down, and jumping is scary as my ankles feel really insecure. I lace my skates as tight as possible across the instep as Edea recommends, but still end up re-lacing every 15 minutes if I'm jumping. I talked to the dealer I bought them off and was told I should have gotten a B width... Was never even told that was an option when I bought them. Their suggestion was buy new skates. I should mention that I live in a small country where skating is not a big sport, so Edea is my only option really, unless I buy online.
I'm wondering if anyone has had the same issue with their heels slipping, and has gone to an Edea B width? If so, has it helped? I can't seem to find any guide from Edea on how to determine the right width for your foot, only length.
I'm happy to try other models of Edea too (in fact I probably will, as I don't feel like the Chorus are stiff enough for my liking), especially if they are better for narrow heels. I have read that Pianos are the best for narrow heels. They are above my level, but I'm an experienced adult skater and jump and skate quite 'big' if that makes sense lol, so don't think I'd have trouble breaking them in compared to a kid. I skate 4-5 days per week. I also liked the sound of them because of the shock absorbing technology, which due to old knee injuries that flare up when I skate, sounds great. However, if the fit in ice flys is similar I'll probably just try those.
Would love to hear anyone's experiences on going from a C to a B width, and also whether changing between Edea models has helped in terms of locking the heel in place better.
