And most importantly, were you fitted in person at the factory?
I have ongoing issues...at 2.5 months in, my skates still hurt whenever I'm on the ice (just not the intense sole pain I had initially), especially whenever I'm on only one foot. While I am overweight, I'm skeptical that it's only due to that, because I know there are other skaters who are heavier than me.
I will give it a few more months, but I'm beginning to think that my skates (Jackson semi custom, very experienced local fitter) are maybe just not right for me. It has occurred to me that they shouldn't still be hurting. I hear these comments about people who have super comfortable skates, and I get envious.
I'm already thinking that I really need to get full custom, but it also seems like it's really only worth it if you can get a fitting in person at the factory. I'm thinking of Harlicks because it's a relatively easy flight from where I live.
I know some people have had custom boots they had problems with; but I don't know how often they were fitted locally and how often they actually went to the factory. Need your stories!
