I live in China and I'm so surprised that they actually do not have any figure skating boot fitters or shops. They usually have everything!
I've just skated for about 2 hours yesterday and the rental boots were so stiff my ankles hurt, they still kind of hurt actually. Which made me think of getting my own boots and some lessons in the coming months, so I looked it up, but there aren't any shops to get my boots professionally fitted.
I noticed that many people buy theirs online but the prices seem too low and I have no idea if I can actually fit them. There are Jackson's selling for a 100 dollars and while even that is out of my budget, I don't think they're that cheap? And there are boots selling for as low as 40 dollars!
How would I go about buying boots?
TL; DR
There are no figure skating boot shops or fitters here and the boots online seem to cheap to be genuine pairs.
