I had a pair of EQ4 a few years back after my really old ones broke down and I was blown away
with the perfomance, so stiff and responsive. I had no clue about what do buy and I ended
up in a 8D wich is to narrow for me and together with my inner ankle bones the skates
was hurting as hell. I'm now in a mid range Nexus 7E which is painfree but a bit lose in
the heel and really sloppy to skate in.
Now I have the opportunity to buy a barely used (3 times) Mako 1 8EE for less than $200 but
I'm not able to try them before I buy and I'am a bit concerned about the fit even if I
have read that it could match my foot, (very wide midfoot, normal to narrow heel and normal
arch). My ankle bones also are also prodtruding more than average I think, and one of the
ankle bones was touching an eyelet in the EQ4. I really like the extended inner side of the Vapor 1x
but they are to narrow for me.
I think the higher heel in the CXN holder fit me very well due to my lower legs are shorter
than normal relative to my upper legs which bring my knee very far forward when squatting
and skating.
True or similar custom skates would of course be nice. I'am not an active player anymore and this would
probably be last skates I will buy.
Will my feet fit in the Mako?
