I'm a dancer. Never really enjoyed jumping that much and definitely wasn't good at it. I remember trying Graf back in the mid 1980s, putting my feet into the boots, uttering something along the lines of, "Yeowch!" and refusing to even lace them up, before heading out of the skate shop at Richmond - yes, that long ago! - and over the road to Sports Requirements Ltd for another pair of Alviera. Wasn't seduced by Graf Dance when they were first introduced but found a brand new pair in my size on eBay a couple of years ago and thought they'd probably do as coaching slippers, as I really don't want competition fit now I'm ancient. As you say, built like tanks. I like that in a boot. Having never had lightweight boots, I don't find them too heavy. Plus I remember on-ice training with ankle weights, so after that...
Glad you're happy with the Auras. There's nothing worse than being unable to find the right boots. (Unless it's finding the right blades...)
Also delighted to hear that you do ice dance as well to improve your skating. :2thumbs:
