Hi guys, I posted here a couple of months ago. To briefly summarize, I purchased a pair of Edea ice flys, I previously had Jackson's. I could not skate in the edea's at all. The first time I stepped on the ice I knew something was wrong. I could not get on the outside edge, and I was skating on my inside edge. It was difficult to even get on the flat of the blade. Two coaches said they weren't mounted properly, the skate tech put all the screws in - complete nightmare. I had the holes plugged by a different skate tech and had them remounted. The new skate tech said my boots looked funny, that they were "twisted" and "not sitting right". I've had the blades re positioned a few times now and they aren't getting better. I literally can only do swizzles because I'm constantly on the inside edge. I'm struggling to do a two foot glide because I can't skate on the flat of the blades. I've contacted the edea supplier and haven't gotten a response yet, and I am totally stressing out because it was such an expensive purchase.
Before anyone criticizes me for over booting (I can barely do singles), I would just really love some opinions to put my mind at ease. I've been told by a few skaters that it's normal to be on your inside edge and have your ankles roll inwards with edeas until your ankles strengthen. My ankles naturally roll in a tad, but in order for me to get on the flat of the blade with my current skates, I literally have to roll my ankles outwards and point my knees outwards (this doesn't seem right? I don't think my ankles are that bad???). I understand that different boots work for different people, but something seems seriously wrong if I can barely get off the inside edge and onto the flat of the blade.
Can the boots be possibly defective and causing this (like my skate tech and coaches said), or is it my ankles fault and should I switch brands? Any help/advice would be appreciated!!!
