Hello everyone
Could anyone recommend a U.K based fitter (I am based in London but happy to travel within the country) of appropriate competence to "diagnose" the best option for a beginner feet of extremely narrow and thin fitting (all the areas: heel, ankle, bridge, arch, sole, instep, achilles) ?
In all my eagerness and ignorance, I purchased a pair of Edea Overture of B Width (the AA Width which would have been more fitted was apparently not available) and find my heels have no maintain when skating, my feet automatically push towards the front of the boot and the sides are not well maintained by the boots, making each movement wobbly. This is troublesome as I am a complete beginner still trying to make my basic gliding coherent.
At the moment I have been trying various DIY (filling the boots with bits of insoles to compensate, skating with thick socks, I also ordered a pair of heel and ankle support sleeves hoping it'll help). In the likelihood that my endeavours lead to no good, I am investigating the existing options for extremely thin feet; and trying to gain real knowledge of how to communicate clearly with a fitter to make the right choice.
My feet have ways been very thin proporsionally to their lenght (39 eur, US 6.5, UK 5.5) and have always had to compromise when buying shoes. The heels almost don't protrude like most heels do, the sides of the feet and ankles are much thinner than most feet considered "narrow". I'm not even sure that any commercialised boot would ever fit but am looking forward to any advices.
Many thanks
