Backspin - outside edge and blade position

[Chevalier]

* OK. The following advice is not what I would consider good advice, but the least bad advice in your stated scenario

Already a much better way out than me just ordering them as is ! Really appreciated
I got no problem in needlework but carpenter skills… that’s just another world.

But if you're a strong pronator like me, you'll likely need shims, and the full complement of screws will allow you to add shims safely and readily. [You can write back if you come to that. Thin shims are relatively easy to do (easier than IKEA kits ); thick shims are more difficult.]

Hopefully I won’t need shims … but then I’ve been a strong pronator my whole life

So is this what I should do?
- get the shifted blades permanently mounted With all screws
- go test on ice and see if I drift when skating a straight line and whether I can get onto the inside/ outside edges like your post #4 (using Jackson/ original insole)
- if I fall onto the inside / have difficulty in getting onto the outside edge even with Jackson insole: add a thin shim

<<Emphasis added.>> That's basically it. But as I mentioned above, if you need further correction for pronation, prior to going the shim route, you can try a different insole first. But we can decide that once you get the skates and test them out. Good Luck!

Thanks loads
Will be getting the 7degree jackson insole, if that really fails don’t think there’s one with even more correction
Fingers crossed jackson won’t be failing me (given my artiste purchase, though it’s 2 sizes too large and too wide)

The store needs some time for toe box modification (plus the fitter is currently on leave haha), shipping takes a month
Hopefully will be getting them before end of March
Can’t wait to get new skates after being in wrong ones for 5 years
