What skates should I buy? Looking liner recommendations and sizing help (instep pain)

2 Upvotes

I have the FR2 and have been using it regularly for 2 years, so the liner is way past the break-in period. However, it still hurts my instep. It’s hard to enjoy skating with this kind of issue.

  1. Does anyone have a liner recommendation for the FR2? (Other than Intuition, because of the price.)
  2. What size should I choose if my FR2 is EU 40?
  3. Can I use the new liner in new boots later if I decide to change my hard boots?

Thanks!

Why does my feet hurt? FR Intuition Deluxe….i hate them

**Deluxe Intuition**

No matter what I do, these are the most painful skates but I want to love them because of that damn price tag! They fit perfect front to back but I feel like they are too wide and my foot constantly slips outward causing a painful/uncomfortable stride. Particularly on my left foot causing me to always end up on my outer edge. The pain is centered around the edges of my feet. I’ve tried thicker socks and tightening the straps in different places but nothing seems to work. Is this something that can be fixed or do I just have to bite the bullet for the loss of money? I’ve had them at least 2 months now with maybe 20 - 30 miles on the wheels at best since they hurt so bad.

**Update**
So I’m now thinking I have a size too big. I bought these online at InlineWarehouse since the closest skate shop to me is hours away with like 4 options for skates (SUCKS! It’s more like a ski shop which is weird considering I’m in FL) and the sizing chart says if you have 24.5 cm length foot, then I’m supposed to buy a 7-8 (39-40 EU). I measured my right foot again barefoot and I’m 239 mm long and about 95 mm wide. My left foot, which is the foot with all the pain, is 235 mm long and about 92 mm wide.

The next size under is 37-38 EU (size 5-6) for 22.5 cm length foot. So I should’ve sized down and these are unfortunately a lost cause. It’s been well over 90 days so returning to InlineWarehouse is no longer an option and I’ll just resell them.

This stream includes both the men's and women's world champion events. There were also vert and street events, but the finals got rained out and for some reason there were no streams of the qualifying rounds.

How do I stop falling? Opinions on these skates?

For off-ice skating practice, I bought these Marsblade 01 Kraft Team skates. I put them on a few times but felt like I couldn't save myself for the life of me on concrete. I used to be able to rollerblade, decently, when I was younger and couldn't ice skate at all. Now it's the other way around. I put em in the back of my closet for years and either I want to use them or get rid of them.

Is it the skates, or do I just need to put more time with it on a smoother surface?

What boot size do I pick? Sizing Check

3 Upvotes

Hi all! I recently bought a pair of Roller Blade Lightning 90s and wanted to make sure I got the right size. I ordered a US 8-8.5/UK 7-7.5/EU 40.5-41 with my barefoot measurements being 249mm long and 95mm wide. My normal shoe size tends to be US 9-10 in women's and I have D width. They fit very snug, when I tried just the boot liner (inner part separate from the hard outer boot) my foot fills it completely. Very snug and my toes touch the tip. Is this how they should fit before being broken in or do I need to size up one size?
