I've skated in Klingbeil's my entire career (so long that the company no longer exists in it's original form), and I switched to Edea Ice Flys, and I've had a few issues that perhaps people have some advice for!
1.) I found out that I skated for years on blades that were improperly mounted too far forward on the boot. With the blade (gold seal) now mounted correctly (further back) I find myself going onto my toe pick almost instantly during just about anything. Can't even get into a spin without going so high on blade that I fall out of it, and even simple things like back crossovers are very scratchy. I hoped I'd adjust quickly, but this bad habit is so far impossible to break. I'm wondering if this is connected to the blade placement, or the higher heel on Edea skates shifting my weight farther forward when I skate?
2.) Arch pain. Can skate about 10 minutes before it becomes unbearable even with a built in arch. I'm thinking maybe a different skating insole might help? Is there a brand people suggest like Superfeet? Have other skaters struggled adjusting to Edea skates?
Thanks for any advice!
