Hi everyone, new member but long time reader.
I have recently started skating in edea chorus boots with Jackson legacy blades, and was wearing socks with them. I had a lot of pain on my inner ankle bones while I was skating, though it was bearable and so I pushed it aside chalking it up to having to break in the boots.
After skating in them for a week and not seeing any improvement, I did some research and discovered that edeas aren’t supposed to have a break in period, and was worried that they were too stiff for me (95lbs, 12 1/2, working on axel and passed preliminary mif, getting ready to test pre-juvenile mif- dont know how that transfers to isi and organizations like that). However, when going to skating one day I forgot my socks so I skated barefoot and all my pain magically disappeared, and my skates felt like cinderella’s glass slippers- which brings me to my question. Is there actually a difference between skating with socks vs no socks in terms of fit and feel universally for brands?
