Hey y'all, I need some help with getting boots. (Also context- 20yo skating about 10-12ish hours a week with axel, 2s and working on 2t)
I recently got a pair of Risport r53's after being in some Edea choruses for 2 years that were 2 sizes too big. I thought I liked them at first, but at the 2 month point my feet are killing me. All of the padding around the ankle is completely gone, bunga pads don't work anymore to help with my shin splints, and I might have some nerve damage from the new boots. (Top of my foot is completely numb- I'm gonna go see a doctor since it persists constantly off ice). Wondering if I keep getting bad luck with fitters, boots being too narrow... etc? They don't hurt when I put them on and feel snug, I did have some cramping in the middle of my foot when I was breaking them in but I just put it down to having a bit of a stiffer boot. Just wondering if anyone else has had the same problem with trying to find a boot? I'm getting really frustrated with this because I want to be able to skate without being in pain![Downcast face with sweat :sweat: 😓](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f613.png)
