New Edea boots feel shorter than previous versions

[skatespin]

I have worn Edea boots for about 8 years. I first used Ice Flys and then switched to Pianos about 3.5 years ago. In July my Pianos were stolen, they were only 5 months old.

Therefore, I unexpectedly had to purchase new Pianos. I have worn the same size boot for a long time as I am an adult and my feet are not growing. These new Piano boots say they are my size (245B) but when I have them on the length of the boot feels shorter than any Edea boot I've owned before. My big toe noticeably hits the front of the boot. I even have older more broken down Edeas in my closet and when I put them on the length feels fine/normal. This new pair is definitely different.

I wanted to know if anyone else has encountered this issue? I have come across many boot defects over my years as a skater, but I have never encountered an existing size being made smaller.

Were your old skates customized with a hair drier (the Edea-specific variation on heat molding, that has to be done very carefully)? You can't expand the sole, so if the problem too low in the boot nothing can be done, but someone who knows what they are doing can carefully expand the part of the toe box that is above the sole a little.

They've been hit or miss with being accurate lately. I'd definitely say something to your skate tech and see if they can contact edea.

good luck!

Yes, the sizes may vary slightly. Please try them on first before mounting. If they feel too loose, consider trying another pair, even if they are labeled the same size.





Using a heat gun or hair dryer can help mold the heel for a better fit, which can also create more space for the toes.
